Quilibrium timeline and roadmap draft - help requested

I made this timeline draft to be published on Quilibrium.one

@cassie @abo @Tyga & others if you can check the dates and if the information is correct. Thanks

Quilibrium Development Timeline

Birth

2018

Q is beginning to take shape in Cassie’s mind… while she works on different components of the network, with the idea of creating a private and safe Discord alternative called “Howler”.

Internet declared “dead”

August 2021

Public declaration to pivot towards a fully decentralized direction. Realization that centralized powers exert too much control over user freedom, necessitating a solution beyond just a Discord alternative.

Redesign Phase

2019 - 2022

Intense period of redesigning the network. Evolved from a blockchain-like structure to a novel design separating data clocks from the master clock, solving sharding coordination problems and improving throughput.

The Ceremony

April 2023 - July 2023

Launch of a global entropy gathering event to ensure network proof security. Designed for worldwide participation on various devices, garnering contributions from nearly all non-embargoed countries.
Q had roughly double the ceremony contributions than Ethereum had to theirs.

Dawn

July 2023 - February 2024

Pushing Quilibrium to its limits, stress-testing everything from BFT consensus to multi-platform compatibility. A journey of constant rewrites and improvements.

Dusk

February 2024

Rolling out the clever autoscaling feature. Like giving each node a personal fitness trainer, ensuring they’re in top shape to handle their workload efficiently.

Nightfall

March, 2024

Introduction of the hypergraph store - the secret sauce for data privacy and backbone of the token economy. Users will finally be able to claim and spend their hard-earned tokens.

Midnight (mainnet)

September, 2024

Entering full stealth mode. Onion routing and mixnet will make Quilibrium traffic as mysterious as a moonless night. Privacy levels that would impress even the most discerning security experts.

Equinox

ETA: TBD

Laying the groundwork for serious applications. Think S3-compatible storage, Redis-like databases, and more. Building a Swiss Army knife for decentralized services.

Event Horizon

ETA: TBD

Things get truly advanced. End-to-end encrypted streaming, AI model training, and execution. Essentially building the operating system for a decentralized future.

Thanks for writing this up! It looks good to me in general, except that I think Nightfall as described in the Mission Control post was never released, but it was merged with the upcoming Midnight release.

I’m adding some more details on the dates below:

  • The Ceremony phase lasted from April 2023 - May 2023 iirc.
  • The public phase of Dawn started September 2023 based on Git history
  • Dusk was released on March 1, 2024.
  • Token claiming as wrapped Quil on Ethereum L1 went live on May 13, 2024 based on the contract’s deployment.

Thanks a lot!
I’ll post this in a fancy timeline with your corrections.
If anyone has other improvements to suggest, please comment and I’ll consider them.
