📃Disciplina 2022 roadmap📃

Dear community!

💥At last, we are ready to share our nearest plans for 2022.

We have been working hard to make up this plan and really hope for your support!

🚀Preliminaries and goals of DISCIPLINA technical development

🔷Preliminaries:

• Current Disciplina custom public chain has issues with reliability and does not provide any significant technical or marketing advantages over usage of the existing public chains with smart contracts.
• Given the poor current state of Cardano tooling and documentation, it is hard to predict when and how we would be able to deploy a working public chain infrastructure for Disciplina there.

🔷Our technical goals are:

• Transfer the existing submitting/validating Disciplina infrastructure from the custom public chain to the established public chain(s) to enable the utility of the traded DSCPL tokens;
• Abstract the off-chain functionality (of submitting and validating proofs) from the particular blockchain platform to be able to first launch Disciplina on the established smart contract platform (ETH/BSC) first and extend to Cardano later;
• Repurpose the existing Disciplina infrastructure to a new vision for Disciplina (aiming at lots of small educators);

🔵Proposed architecture scheme for Disciplina platform for Q1/Q2

💎Development plan

🔷Phase 1 (Disciplina backend transformation) (now — March 2022)

• Refactoring/redesign of Multi-Educator app for small educator purposes
• Enabling a simplified Educator registration process
• Redesigning the FairCV PDF templates
• Providing the ability to choose public chain backend in the interface
• Updating Validator app for multi-chain purposes
• Providing the ability to choose public chain backend
• Development of the unified HTTP Backend proxy for Disciplina Validator and Multi-Educator
• API specification development
• Server application development and deployment
• Test integration with the existing Disciplina public chain (for testing and legacy preserving purposes)
• Integrating the Validator and Multi-Educator with the unified HTTP Proxy
• Decoupling of existing private chain code from public chain code
• Redirecting the interaction with Disciplina Witness nodes towards interaction with unified HTTP proxy
• Development of contracts and off-chain contract backends for ETH/BSC
• On-chain Solidity contract: same for ETH/BSC
• Small web services with an ability to interact with ETH/BSC chains: using standard technologies (e.g. NodeJS + web3 library)
• Connecting the unified HTTP Proxy towards to ETH/BSC contract web services
• Integrating the Plutus Application Backend via the mockchain to facilitate further Cardano integration when tooling/docs become better
• Connecting the unified HTTP Proxy with PAB
• The infrastructure should work with PAB mockchain in the same way as currently works with Disciplina public chain from the standpoint of the user of Validator and Multi-Educator.
• Testing of the new infrastructure and contracts on the testnets (ETH/BSC, Cardano — if possible)

🔷Phase 2 (Mainnet integration and repurposing) (March 2022–June 2022)

• Integration of the Multi-Educator application with the Metamask wallet (for ETH/BSC chains) — enabling the small Educators to submit blocks from their own addresses.
• No reward tokens at the early stage: simply the ability to publish blocks at their own gas
• Deployment of Disciplina contracts to ETH/BSC mainnets
• Integration of PAB with Cardano testnet/mainnet (depending on tooling availability)
• Research on Disciplina reward token mechanics and its costs on ETH/BSC/Cardano chain
• Research on the integration of the Multi-Educator with Nami (Cardano web3 wallet)
