Roadmap

The general structure of Commands and Blocks is designed to be flexible, but immutable. There are additional fields reserved for future iterations of the protocol in the event of upgrades. Likewise, there is the ability to "fork" the chain, somewhat analogous to a fork on a blockchain like Ethereum, where the chain can introduce new features.

Initially, the overall structure will be managed by the Empyreal team. Once the project has stabilized and we have made it through our initial iterations, we will be able to migrate this to a more decentralized solution where there is governance managing the upgrades to the protocol.

A standard for SIPs (Simulacrum Improvement Proposals) will be released at a later point in time.

Potential Upgrades

• Adding gas (a fee for committing a transaction to the chain)

• Rewards for mining/executing blocks

• Omnichain transaction handling
