Jeffro256's Roadmap of Long-term Goals for Monero

In rough order of when I think they could be done.

Known paths forward

• FCMP++ integration
• Carrot address protocol integration
• Carrot key hierarchy wallets
• Better multisig integration
• P2P encryption and dummy packets
• Better DNS handling when using a VPN
• ASN diversification for peer selection
• Ledger fixing their stupid fucking integrated address display bug
• Constant-time Polyseed decoding
• Multisig wallets with published view-balance secrets for CCS and General Fund
• Wallet-side fee calculation
• Wallet-side PoW verification / chain switching
• DOM-less deserialization for P2P/RPC messages
• RandomX V2 intermediate/light PoW verification
• Recipient address IDs (RIDs)
• Jamtis-RCT light wallets
• Off-chain quantum forward secret addressing protocols
• Header-only sync
• Slim alt-chain PoW pre-verification
• Dummy FCMP++ inputs for input count uniformity
• Transaction format changes for size reduction
• GPU accelerated wallet scanning
• GPU accelerated consensus verification
• Improve blockchain handling concurrency
• Blockchain database migration for size reduction
• Change in wallet2 format to seperate refresh cache files from user-provided data
• User-friendly time-lock puzzles
• Standardized NFC transfer protocols
• 1-of-2 liveness in-person PoS systems
• Mesh networks / satellite services

Unknown paths forward

• More efficient, but still trusless, transaction propogation than pure flooding
• Physical Monero notes
• Advanced payment channels / L2
• On-chain post-quantum key exchange mechanisms
• Post-quantum zero-knowledge proving systems for consensus verification
• Fleshed out post-quantum migration policy
• 10-block-lock workarounds?
• Private smart contracts?
• Client-side-validation to increase L1 throughput?
