Roadmap
Core first. Wrapped assets after. Mainnet when proven.
The path from V1 to V4, with the gas model and wrapped-asset rules published before anything activates. Every state is explicit: active, prepared, future, locked.
V1 — Core network (active · mainnet locked)
Mining, proof-of-work validation, RPC, explorer and post-quantum signatures run on testnet today; a BFT finality gadget is present but advisory and in development, not yet bound into fork-choice. VigiWallet integration is prepared. Mainnet stays locked until validation, security testing and vulnerability closure are complete.
Service layer — protocols written, network next
Ten strategic layers are built as services over an untouched core, so the consensus stays small enough to audit. Running on the testnet today: the escrow primitive in consensus (policy-locked outputs, inert until its activation height) and Vigi Data’s integrity root, where anyone can check a file against the chain. Written and tested, not yet on the network: the storage cycle end to end — provider registry, contracts, client-side encryption with erasure coding, custody proofs, repair and VPoR — plus Witness/Provenance, Trust, Compute, Network, the Machine Economy and Sovereign Recovery. What comes next is not more protocols: it is carrying their events on the chain, and the first provider registering.
V2 — Wrapped top useful assets (prepared)
Protocol-approved wrapped assets under the VRC-WRAP standard: relevant stablecoins, BTC, ETH, SOL, and DeFi, RWA, oracle and infrastructure assets. Mint only by the approved bridge, burn on exit, reserve proof per asset, per-asset pause and a global emergency stop. And the boundary, said plainly: the wrapper is post-quantum on this side — its custody, its signatures and its reserve proof are VigiChain’s. The asset underneath is not. Wrapped BTC is protected here by post-quantum cryptography, and it still carries the risk of Bitcoin: if Bitcoin were broken, what would suffer is not the custody of the wrapper but its VALUE, because a wrapper is worth what the thing it represents is worth. No chain can wrap that risk away, and claiming otherwise would be the most expensive sentence on this site.
V3 — Expanded verified assets (future)
More verified fintech assets under the same standard. Growth never lowers the entry bar: utility, liquidity, auditability.
V4 — Global coverage (future)
Up to hundreds of verified wrapped assets — only those that stay useful, liquid and auditable. Coverage is an outcome of the standard, not a target.
No public token factory
VigiChain does not allow arbitrary token creation: there is no user-accessible mint path, and the consensus rules of the launched network reject it — enforced in consensus, not just policy. This is a consensus rule enforced today, not an immutable impossibility: any future asset class could only be enabled by a coordinated protocol upgrade, never by an individual user.
Gas, and where it goes
Using the native network costs GAS — the work a transaction imposes on every node that validates it — and it goes entirely to the miners and validators who do that work. It is not a charge levied by an operator. Wrapped assets are separate and follow their published rules: stablecoins enter at 0%, internal transfers are free by default, and a configurable, capped FEE applies only on exit — routed to the audited treasury/bridge-security route.
Wrapped assets with rules — candidate set
Illustrative and prepared only. No asset is live or promised; each activates individually after audit, with its reserve proof published.

Sovereign post-quantum network for verified value.
Post-quantum cryptographic security software: a sovereign network that strengthens custody, settlement and identity. Testnet active; mainnet opens when independent validation supports it. 10 layers, each with its own page and its real state on it: 5 running, 3 proven on a real chain and 2 in public pilot.
