Projects Supported by The Network Steward
- CURRENT DEADLINE: Midnight February 29, 2020 UTC
- CURRENT ROUND BUDGET: 90mn PKT - Please see Acceptance Process for more information
The Network Steward of the PKT project is interested in the following topics. This list is not exhaustive and not every feature of every idea needs to be in a proposal for it to be accepted. These are just general topics which the Network Steward has an interest in seeing open source development.
In order to create a project, fork this repository, create a new file in the projects directory which is a copy of the template.md file. Then make a pull request to add your project proposal to this repository.
Projects will be evaluated in accordance with the process defined in Acceptance Process
- Open source graphical SPV PKT wallet
- Checking the authenticity of the blockchain by verifying the PacketCrypt proofs on a configurable number of the most recent blocks and verifying only the connectedness of all earlier headers
- Ability to issue, transfer and validate colored coins
- Ability to validate a message as signed by the current holder of a given colored coin
- Ability to offer a colored coin for sale in a swap and ability to take such a swap transaction and accept it
- Future interoperability with Lightning Network
- Compatibility with Android, iOS, Linux, OSX, Windows
- Graphical, command line and library modes
- Low resource footrpint
- Cjdns using Wireguard for encryption
- Replacement of cjdns CryptoAuth protocol with Wireguard
- Detection of "new nodes" who speak Wireguard vs. "old nodes" who speak CryptoAuth
- Replacement for peering and also for end-to-end
- Cjdns kernelspace implementation
- Using Wireguard kernel module to perform encryption
- Only needs to speak Wireguard based protocol, legacy CryptoAuth is not necessary
- Maximum feasible code-reuse between kernel module and userland code
- Cjdns key rotation
- Allow changing the keypair each restart for non-server nodes
- Packet prioritization system in cjdns
- Ability to allocate virtual switches and bandwidth leases
- Ability to associate a bandwidth lease with a virtual switch
- Further thoughts in cjdns packet priority spec
- Open source high performance cjdns Route Server
- High performance language such as Rust or Elixir
- Network coordination functionality of cjdnsnode
- Ability to coordinate cjdns nodes to configure VPN tunnels
- Collection and publication of link quality data
- Gossip protocol so that other route servers can inter-operate
- Example usage of PacketCrypt announcements for pub/sub
- A simple tweet-like interface where people can send messages by mining announcements
- WebAssembly compiled version of PacketCrypt
- Static code only which interacts directly with a PacketCrypt mining pool
- Pool updates to allow subscription to different types of announcements
- Creation and maintanence of a repository of packages of mesh software
- Packages to be easily installed in major operating systems which do not have support already such as Debian, OSX and Windows
- Packaging of meshnet software including cjdns and yggdrasil
- Cjdns wifi based interface
- Automatic peering when a compatible wireless device is in range
- Lower CPU consumption using encryption offload
- Compatibility with Android and iPhone devices
