8️⃣Roadmap

2023 Q1–Q2

·SoulNet project officially initiated, introducing the core concept of “Training as Consensus.”

·Completed prototype design of the ALBFT consensus mechanism, validating the technical pathway to integrating AI character training into blockchain consensus.

·Built the initial system architecture and AI virtual character economy model; conducted internal research and early feasibility testing.

2023 Q3–Q4

·Defined the platform’s mission, technical framework, and incentive system.

·Initiated development of GVM (Graph Virtual Machine) and character training task modules.

·Built an early developer community; invited selected technical nodes and researchers to participate in consensus mechanism testing.

·Established the base incentive system and testnet for AI subchains; launched simulations of character consensus training.

2024 Q1–Q2

·Launched SoulNet Alpha Testnet, enabling character registration, training tasks, and consensus participation.

·Initially implemented the “Train-to-Mine” and “Character-as-Asset” mechanisms.

·Introduced character ownership verification and on-chain personality data structures to support model personalization and verifiable state storage.

·Improved character asset lifecycle management modules, including version control, training iteration tracking, and reward distribution.

2024 Q3–Q4

·Released SoulNet Beta Network, adding AI character marketplace, invocation incentives, and on-chain transaction functionality.

·Opened up Train-to-Earn incentives to reward data contributors, training nodes, and model developers.

·Expanded off-chain storage compatibility (e.g., Filecoin/Arweave) and integrated efficient verification modules.

·Rolled out character distribution APIs and partnership interfaces for metaverse and gaming applications, expanding multi-scenario ecosystem adoption.

2025 Q1–Q2

·SoulNet mainnet goes live, supporting cross-chain character mobility, NFT-based identity binding, and secure rights confirmation.

·Launched the Global Node Plan to build a decentralized character compute network.

·Released enterprise-grade AI character training solutions for gaming, education, customer service, and creative industries.

·Deep integration of character autonomy mechanisms and dynamic consensus tuning to enable character evolution and multi-model fusion.

2025 Q3 and Beyond

·Launch of SoulNet 2.0, aiming to build the world’s largest protocol network for AI characters “with soul.”

·Enhanced character economy with features like character leasing, collaborative development, and dividend-sharing mechanisms.

·Constructed an open character knowledge graph and personality evolution engine to enable self-learning and cross-context adaptation.

·Drive SoulNet’s emergence as the foundational trust protocol of the intelligent society, pioneering the next wave of AI and blockchain convergence.
