1. Timeline & Tasks

Purpose​

The purpose of Test-Theodoric-1 is to test the public yet rules based permissioned nature of D-Chain for network operators, dApp operators and their users. Technically, this means testing the integration of components for:

  • KYC / KYB services on network & dApp operators and users
  • eIDAS compliant digital signatures &
  • electronic attestation of attributes (in the form of verifiable credential & presentations / SSI)
  • SSI integrated consensus checks built on ABCI 2.0
  • SSI integrated message specific verifiable presentation checks for transactions
  • D-Chain governance for network upgrade and network wide SSI verification

Scope​

Test-Theodoric-1 is based on v0.50.3 cosmos-sdk with the following modules:

  • dgov: D-Chain specific governance
  • vcv: Verifiable Credential Verifiers for routing requirements for verifiable presentations for block processing and transactions
  • notary: notary service for assets (current version just routes messages to smart contracts, no asset templates implemented)

After the tasks are completed for Test-Theodoric-1, this testnet will not continue to operate. The next version will be released with upgraded cosmos-sdk, cometBFT version and additional features, specifically tokenomics implementation.

Timeline​

Once testnet starts, the NYMLAB team will arrange to conduct all the tasks within 2-3 weeks.
