Decentralization roadmap
🎉 Anyone can now try running the experimental xmtpd node software and be a part of the journey to decentralizing XMTP!
In the future, xmtpd might replace the node software currently running the XMTP network. To explore the node software currently running the XMTP network, see the xmtp-node-go repo.
Near term (~3 months)
- Open source nodes
- Third-party nodes in testnet
- Smart contract inbox
Long term (~6 months)
- Limited public testnet: Third-party operators can run
xmtpdnodes that participate in the XMTP network - v1 economic model, including universal consent
