BigchainDB Roadmap

BigchainDB Protocols

• Validation of other nodes
• Byzantine fault tolerance
• Permissions framework
• Benchmarks (e.g. on transactions/second and latency)
• API/Wire protocol exposed by the BigchainDB dameon (HTTP or other). Eventually, the only way for a client to communicate with a BigchainDB database will be via this API.
• Protocol audits including security audits

Implementation/Code

• Node validation framework (inspect and agree or not with what the other nodes are doing)
• Federation management and monitoring/dashboard
• Packaging, dockerization, AWS image, etc. (i.e. easy deployment options)
• Drivers/SDKs for common client-side languages (e.g. Python, Ruby, JavaScript, Java)
• ORM to better-decouple BigchainDB from its data store (will make it easy to try other databases)
• Code audits including security audits

Other/Future

• Multisig
• Better support for smart contract frameworks
