Yes, we will show what we promised:
- Split the HyperChains development into steps with clearly defined deliverables so we can test our assumptions and build incrementally on top of that. The first step would be a permissioned HyperChain - stakers are set in the protocol contract. This will disable most of the attack vectors but will also provide us with an initial implementation of HCs. We call that HyperChains Alpha .
We are on track delivering the smart contract controlled consensus that would allow us more people to be working on BTC and AE connectors as well as the required test framework.
