Development Roadmap

The Lume roadmap is built on three fundamental principles: technological maturity, network scale, and economic sustainability. The project’s launch in early 2026 set the stage for a strict, phased plan that encompasses prototype development, mass-market rollout, and subsequent infrastructure autonomy. Each stage of the roadmap has clear timeframes, controlled success criteria, and technological milestones that guide the evolution of Lume toward a full-fledged global DePIN bandwidth network.

The development is divided into four major phases: Foundation (Q3 2025–Q1 2026), Expansion (Q2 2026–Q4 2026), Intelligence (Q1 2027–Q3 2027), and Autonomy (Q4 2027–2028+). These stages are not just timeframes, but logical levels of maturity that transform Lume from an application into an infrastructure standard.

Phase I — Foundation

Period: Q3 2025 – Q1 2026 (Network Launch) The goal of this phase is to build a reliable technological foundation that ensures stability and security for the first millions of connections. This is where the core of the Bandwidth Grid is formed, and mechanisms are established that will allow the network to scale without degradation.

Technical Tasks for the Phase:

1. Development of Desktop Clients (Windows/macOS)

  • Creation of native applications with low-level interaction with network adapters.

  • Dedicated sandbox for the Bandwidth Contribution Engine at the system process level.

  • Traffic encryption through built-in TLS + SRTP tunneling.

2. Proof-of-Bandwidth v1

  • Implementation of basic bandwidth measurement and verification scheme.

  • Creation of proxy relay, distributed across multiple data centers.

  • Support for a limited pool of Verified Institutional Clients.

3. Reward Layer v1: Launch of Lume Coins (Testnet → Mainnet)

  • Fixed reward parameters across regions.

  • Token release on Solana Devnet (Q4 2025) → transition to Mainnet (Q1 2026).

4. Security Core

  • Separate cryptographic module for traffic encryption within the client.

  • Preliminary audit of the application and network infrastructure (Q1 2026).

Key Result of the Phase: A ready, stable, and secure network capable of supporting 1–2 million initial nodes without overloads.

Phase II — Expansion

Period: Q2 2026 – Q4 2026 The main goal is to turn Lume into a mass-market network by expanding platforms, optimizing routes, and activating powerful growth levers.

Key Directions:

1. Mobile Clients (Android: Q2 2026, iOS: Q3 2026)

  • Optimization of power consumption and background activity restrictions.

  • Mobile-grade bandwidth accounting algorithms.

  • Introduction of the Adaptive Contribution Model: dynamic load adjustment based on network type (Wi-Fi / 4G / 5G).

2. Relay Layer v2 — Geographical Scaling

  • Deployment of regional clusters in the USA, EU, India, Singapore, and Brazil.

  • Reducing latency by 35–50%.

  • Transition to a distributed architecture with partial use of validator nodes.

3. Tokenomics v2

  • Regional coefficients for node rarity.

  • Introduction of dynamic reward-weighting based on traffic demand.

  • Release of updated referral system (Q3 2026).

4. Mass User Growth

  • Integration with popular VPN/proxy projects.

  • Partnership programs with router manufacturers and ISPs.

Key Result of the Phase: The network reaches 10–20 million nodes, establishes a stable global topology, and starts generating real institutional demand.

Phase III — Intelligence

Period: Q1 2027 – Q3 2027 In this phase, the network moves beyond the classical DePIN model and transforms into an intelligent bandwidth infrastructure, capable of adapting to traffic loads and market conditions.

Technical Directions:

1. Smart Routing System (Q1–Q2 2027)

  • ML models predicting optimal routes and peak loads.

  • Auto-switching between relay nodes without session loss.

  • Minimizing overloads in high-density node areas.

2. Token Demand Engine (Q2 2027)

  • An algorithm that automatically balances traffic cost via tokenomic regulation.

  • Smart-quota system for AI clients with high demands.

3. Security Layer v3: Intelligent Anomaly Detection

  • Recognition of fake clients, volume manipulation, and DDoS patterns.

  • Zero-Trust model for Bandwidth Contribution.

4. Corporate SDK & API Layer (Q3 2027)

  • A toolkit for integrating companies working with distributed internet and AI models.

  • Automatic traffic consumption billing through Lume Coins.

Key Result of the Phase: The network becomes self-optimizing, stable, and intelligent, ready for corporate-level traffic and AI-market loads.

Phase IV — Autonomy

Period: Q4 2027 – 2028+ The final stage turns Lume into a fully autonomous, decentralized infrastructure.

Key Directions:

1. Full On-Chain Autonomy (Q4 2027)

  • Governance DAO manages network parameters.

  • On-chain management of token distribution, payout coefficients, and network limits.

2. Autonomous Bandwidth Marketplace (2028)

  • Corporate clients buy bandwidth directly from the network.

  • Fully transparent dynamic pricing for Bandwidth Units (BWU).

3. Proof-of-Bandwidth v3: Decentralized Model

  • Full transition to a node-validated traffic accounting scheme.

  • Self-verification and mutual confirmation mechanisms.

4. Inter-network Integrations (2028+)

  • Compatibility with large DePIN networks.

  • Emergence of cross-network bandwidth routing.

Key Result of the Phase: Lume becomes a global autonomous bandwidth marketplace, resilient to failures, scalable, and governed by the community.
