𝕀𝕑/𝕒𝕔𝕔 | The SpaceComputer Roadmap

By Filip Rezabek β€”
𝕀𝕑/𝕒𝕔𝕔 | The SpaceComputer Roadmap
𝕀𝕑/𝕒𝕔𝕔 = the movement from merely virtual decentralization to physically verifiable, orbital security primitives–an architectural shift toward space-native trust minimization.

Consequential to our ongoing efforts on research and engineering with our initial security service product (cTRNG), we are ecstatic to reveal the official 𝕀𝕑/𝕒𝕔𝕔 roadmap. This marks the next chapter in our journey to bring secure, tamper-proof computation to orbit and redefine the trust assumptions of Web3 infrastructure.

From randomness beacons, SpaceTEEs, and ZK proof generation, to a fully fledged celestial confidential blockchain ready for human and AI agent use, the roadmap outlines how the initial stages of SpaceComputer will evolve into a resilient and permissionless network extending beyond Earth.

How to understand the roadmap

For clarity, the roadmap displays project plans both vertically and horizontally. Simultaneous developments occur between the four verticals of project development: 

  1. Four Verticals of Project Development 
    1. Celestial Chain (L1) - In-orbit blockchain using satellites as tamper-proof compute nodes. It bases the security and consensus in SpaceComputer’s two-tier system.
    2. Security Services - Development of a wide variety of high-security services grounded in space-based infrastructure (i.e., confidential computation, cTRNG, custodial services, immutable logging, and more). These services will be available to other partners and will be incorporated into our regular solutions. 
    3. Uncelestial Chain (L2) - The Earth-based L2 in SpaceComputer’s architecture. Handles fast, high-throughput execution and settles on the celestial chain for security.
    4. Orbitport (Gateway) - User and developer terminal for interacting with the space-based infrastructure network and services.

Over time, development is split horizontally across different phases, which group the verticals of project development into results that can gradually and effectively be brought into production for ecosystem development and onboard as many builders as possible!

All names and times are subject to change.

Phases of Project Development

  1. Ignition - Initial ideation and vision stage and launch of initial PoCs for various security services (like cTRNG) and their underlying infrastructure. The conclusion of the ignition phase is marked by the release of the White Paper outlining the details of the space-native L1. 
    β†’ We Are Here - Q3/Q4 2025
  2. Void Traverse - Consolidation of the SpaceComputer vision with the release of the White Paper, outlines L1 development as well as initial ZK-based PoCs. It will also provide an overview of the SpaceTEE capabilities moving forward. We also introduce work on trust minimization for network gateway and initial feasibility studies for L2 development. 
    β†’ Q1 2026
  3. Lunar Slingshot - Building on the momentum, we combine the consensus mechanism and (E)VM development. We will continue intense work with partners on data availability at the L2-level and trust minimization of the overall infrastructure. The community should also get access to on-Earth SpaceTEE emulation infrastructure, so they can start to develop their apps.
    β†’ Q2 2026
  4. Signal Return - Provide an end-to-end flow for deployment of smart contracts on the L1 node. We will also outline the initial direction for the L1 network structure and operations to onboard future validators. Besides, we plan to launch SpaceTEEs to orbit, provide an on-earth devnet, in order to move towards a quick release of the public testnet!
    β†’     Q3 2026
  5. Station Dock - Details coming soon
    β†’     Timing TBA
  6. Launch Window - Details coming soon
    β†’     Timing TBA
  7. Moonshot - Details coming soon
    β†’     Timing TBA

Next 12 Months: Milestones to Look Forward To

SpaceComputer is an ambitious project oriented towards long-term thinking. This doesn’t mean that there isn’t plenty to look forward to and work on over the next year. 

Protocol Whitepaper - Specification for the technical design of SpaceComputer’s protocol, including its L1 consensus, initial satellite architecture, and integration with Earth-based L2 systems. We will formalize the system’s capabilities, constraints, and security guarantees, building on the conceptual groundwork laid in the blue paper.

Randomness Beacon - Re-configuration of existing Orbitport, which allows integration with and data streams to smart contracts, enabling on-chain applications of cTRNG and acting as an early interface for future security services. 

EVM Development - The EVM in SpaceComputer will serve as a smart contract execution environment within its satellite-based L1, enabling full compatibility with Ethereum tooling while operating in a tamper-proof, high-security setting. This will initially be focused on bridge contracts and coprocessor-style applications. Leveraging our own TEE, we plan to expand it to confidential smart contracts. Later, we plan to add support for other virtual machines.

Tamper-Proof Zero-Knowledge Generation - Combining SpaceTEE with ZK (or just ZK), we will act as secure coprocessors for proof generation and secure bulletin boards for posting verified outputs. These components will support applications like ZK rollups, privacy-preserving computations, and succinct state updates. 

Incentivized Testing Opportunities - Over the course of SpaceComputer’s on-Earth and extraterrestrial devnet and testnets, we will require the help of the community to test out key functionalities and underlying infrastructure for robustness and heightened UX. We look forward to revealing these opportunities when the time is right. 

SpaceTEE in Space - We can’t say much now, but expect rockets to be involved πŸ›°οΈπŸš€

Conclusion: Now’s your turn!

This roadmap is an open invitation to the curious, the creative, and the relentless. SpaceComputer is an audacious bet on the future of computing and security, and we're building it step-by-step, with clarity of vision, architectural humility, and a bias for experimentation.

Whether you're a builder, a researcher, or a long-term observer, we welcome you to be part of this journey as we push the boundaries of what blockchain infrastructure can be.
