Bitnet Trailmap
A navigational guide through the future of Bitnet BTN
Bitnet Trailmap Guidance
The concept of a trailmap, inspired by Dogecoin, moves away from the traditional roadmap to reflect a journey not dictated by a single entity. Bitnet BTN, a community-driven open-source project, allows every participant to shape its direction by contributing to the network and ecosystem. The protocol is built on core principles to ensure decentralization and prevent dominance by any single individual or entity. Community contributions are judged on their merits, with the community’s adoption and usage guiding Bitnet’s path. The trailmap outlines the community’s goals and projects, categorized and evolving in parallel with the protocol. These objectives may adapt as Bitnet BTN grows, welcoming new users and fostering discussions about its future.

Project
Description
Contribute
Bitnet Core Client
Bitnet’s core client is primarily written in Golang. This repository is home to the heart of Bitnet’s tech. All contributions are welcome, particularly those centered on speed and scalability enhancements, virtual machine upgrades, mining and algorithm refinements, GraphQL and pre-loaded subgraphs for token and NFTs indexing, as well as node and storage optimization.
Bitnet Desktop Node
The aim of Bitnet’s desktop node is to make setting up and maintaining a node more accessible for non-technical users, thereby reducing the entry barrier for those not tech-savvy and further promoting network decentralization. This accessibility fosters a more diverse network, ensuring the Bitnet network remains robust and truly decentralized in its infrastructure.
Whitepaper Translation
There’s an ongoing effort to translate Bitnet’s whitepaper into various languages, and any community member can pitch in. All guidelines and directions for submitting your contribution can be found on Bitnet’s GitHub repository. By making the WhitePaper available in multiple languages, we aim to make Bitnet’s vision and technology accessible to a global audience, reflecting our commitment to inclusivity.
Bitnet Developer Wiki
We are compiling a comprehensive document library for developers who want to build on Bitnet. Contributors need to write clearly and legibly. They should also be familiar with Bitnet’s core code or the Geth implementation. Having a centralized repository of knowledge helps streamline development processes, ensuring that developers have the resources they need to innovate effectively.
RPC Node Expansion
This suggested project focuses on enhancing Bitnet’s network by increasing the number of RPC nodes, crucial for processing transactions and queries quickly. By adding more RPC nodes around the world, the aim would be to improve network speed and reliability for users globally. Contributions to this proposed initiative support keeping Bitnet decentralized and robust. Guidance for participating is available on community channels.
More Block Explorers
This recommended initiative seeks to enhance Bitnet’s network transparency by increasing the number of block explorers. Hosting explorers across different entities strengthens data reliability and ensures redundancy, keeping transaction and block information accessible at all times. This effort would reinforce Bitnet’s dedication to decentralization. Details on participation are available via community channels.
DEX Integration
This proposed initiative focuses on integrating more open-source decentralized exchanges (DEXes) with the Bitnet network. By implementing proven DEX protocols, this project aims to provide Bitnet users with secure, peer-to-peer trading capabilities without intermediaries. It would boost decentralization, leveraging the strength of established DEXes while optimizing them for the Bitnet ecosystem.
True Decentralization
Empowering people, not just through technology, is what defines true decentralization. It means that anyone, from any background, can initiate a project with complete freedom to define its objectives. This approach places the power to shape Bitnet BTN’s future and secure individual benefits directly in the hands of everyone — whether they are community members, individuals, or organizations — all contributing in their own unique way. It’s about offering absolute autonomy and choice, allowing a diverse array of projects to flourish.
