Roadmap

Delibera is developed in incremental phases. Each phase builds on the previous one, progressively decentralizing identity, privacy, and participation.

Phase Overview

| Phase | Name | Status | |---|---|---| | 1 | Identity & Space | Complete | | 2 | Encrypted Persistence | Complete | | 2.5 | Stabilization + One-Click + Names | Complete | | 2.6 | Private Persistent Memory | Complete | | 3 | FHE Blind Voting | Not started | | 4 | Jury Selection & Archival | Not started |

Phase Details

Phase 1 — Identity & Space

Established per-worker DID-based identity and Storacha space provisioning. Each worker received its own persistent storage space backed by Filecoin, enabling sovereign data ownership from day one.

Phase 2 — Encrypted Persistence

Added Lit Protocol threshold encryption for Storacha uploads, ensuring worker memory is encrypted at rest and only decryptable by the owning agent. End-to-end verified with Proposal #22 on the full Storacha + Lit + Filecoin pipeline.

Phase 2.5 — Stabilization + One-Click + Names

Hardened the developer experience with one-click provisioning, human-readable worker names, and stability fixes across the coordinator and worker runtimes.

Phase 2.6 — Private Persistent Memory

Introduced AES-256-GCM encryption for Ensue-cached memory, eliminating plaintext storage. Ensue serves as the fast primary read path; Storacha remains the decentralized cold backup. Old plaintext entries are auto-migrated on next access.

Will introduce fully homomorphic encryption for on-chain vote tallying. Individual votes remain encrypted end-to-end — the coordinator computes the aggregate result without ever decrypting individual ballots.

Phase 4 — Jury Selection & Archival (Flow VRF)

Will add verifiable random jury selection using Flow VRF, so only a cryptographically random subset of workers participates in each proposal. Completed deliberations will be archived to Filecoin for long-term auditability.

Key Achievements

Permissionless protocol. Workers self-register via the on-chain registry with a 0.1 NEAR deposit. No approval process, no gatekeepers. Verified end-to-end with Proposal #16.

Per-worker Storacha spaces. Each worker owns an isolated Storacha space with UCAN-delegated capabilities. Memory is encrypted, sovereign, and Filecoin-backed.

skill.md swarm join. A machine-and-human-readable manifest (skill.md) defines the swarm entry point, enabling any agent or human to discover and join the protocol without custom integration.
