LEA Technical Roadmap#

Phase 1 — Foundation & Whitepaper

Status: Completed

Objective: Establish the conceptual basis for LEA, publish the founding whitepaper, and define core architectural principles.

Completed

• Concept development and architectural frameworks defined
• Whitepaper published and distributed

Outcome: Clear documented rationale for modular blockchain design and PQC priorities.

Phase 2 — Execution Layer & Core Infrastructure

Status: Completed

Objective: Build the core execution environment, codec libraries, and developer tooling to support on-chain interactions.

Completed

• Execution layer libraries and tools
• Protocol wrappers and codec implementations
• Initial developer CLI and SDK primitives

Outcome: Foundational runtime components and interfaces for transaction processing and state handling.

Phase 3 — Pulse App Development & PQC Integration

Status: Completed

Objective: Finalize the LEA Pulse mobile client and incorporate post-quantum cryptographic support across key modules.

Completed

• Beta testing and refinement of LEA Pulse mobile application
• Integration of post-quantum cryptography into supported modules
• Public release of LEA Pulse

• Setup of primary websites:

  • getlea.org
  • docs.getlea.org

Outcome: User-facing wallet and interaction tool with mobile support for PQC, and initial public visibility of docs and protocol information.

Phase 4 — Ecosystem Expansion & Compliance

Status: In Progress

Objective: Expand developer ecosystem readiness, finalize compliance frameworks, and complete SDK documentation.

In Progress

• Ecosystem onboarding documentation and reference templates
• Legal and compliance review and formalization
• SDK documentation (web3.js) with examples and code samples
• Developer portal enhancements
• First OnChain-UI showcases and SDK

Outcome: Clear, comprehensive guidance for protocol interaction and compliance alignment that supports third-party developers.

Phase 5 — On-Chain UI Stack & Developer Tools

Status: In Progress

Objective: Provide primitives and reference implementations for fully on-chain user interfaces and advanced developer tooling.

In Progress

• On-chain UI framework MVP
• Developer SDK for UI deployment
• Reference examples of on-chain smart interactions
• Integration tests for UI stack and developer tools

Outcome: A modular interface layer that integrates with the core protocol and enables decentralized front ends.

Phase 6 — Smart Contract Developer Onboarding

Status: Planned

Objective: Enable developers to build and deploy smart contracts on LEA using stable, well-documented primitives before exposing advanced domain-level execution concepts.

Planned

• Smart contract SDK and CLI workflows
• Reference contract templates (PQC-ready, account abstraction compatible)
• End-to-end examples covering deployment, interaction, and upgrades
• Sample repositories and developer walkthroughs

Outcome: Developers can reliably build, test, and operate smart contracts on LEA without needing to understand or manage POD-level execution logic.

Phase 7 — Decentralization & Consensus Activation

Status: Planned

Objective: Transition the protocol from centralized ordering to decentralized block production and validator participation.

Planned

• Activation of consensus layer under beta conditions

  • Validator registration and participation mechanics
  • Network monitoring tools and metrics dashboards
• Integration of validator incentives and slashing logic
• Beta release of decentralized network protocols

Dependencies

• Completion of security audit on consensus components
• Stable validator SDK and tooling
• Updated governance primitives

Outcome: A decentralized network with a functional validator set and production of distributed blocks.

Phase 8 — Rewards Expansion & Community Participation

Status: Planned

Objective: Expand reward mechanisms within the Pulse app and broader ecosystem participation incentives.

Planned

• Enhanced reward structures for protocol interaction
• On-chain reward distribution mechanisms
• Incentive system integration with validator and developer actions

Outcome: Increased engagement and retention across users, developers, and node operators.

Phase 9 — POD Development & Advanced Execution Domains

Status: Future

Objective: Enable advanced developers to design, deploy, and operate custom execution domains (PODs) with domain-specific validation, fee models, and security assumptions.

Planned

• POD authoring kits and advanced CLI workflows
• Decoder development documentation and reference implementations
• Domain-specific execution patterns and security guidelines
• Examples of regulated, privacy-focused, and custom-fee PODs

Dependencies

• Stable smart contract developer ecosystem
• Mature tooling and debugging infrastructure
• Sufficient operational experience from earlier phases

Outcome: A small but capable group of advanced developers can build and maintain custom execution domains without compromising protocol stability.
