Morse -> Shannon Migration
Morse → Shannon Migration Overview
This is still a WIP, as much will likely be modified as TestNet development progresses, but it should give everyone an idea of what Shannon’s core architecture will be.
Improvement Overview
Legend
✅ Solved
🟡 Partially solved
⏳ Temporarily solved
❌ Still an issue
🚫 Not applicable
Persistence Scalability
✅ w/ LeanPOKT
✅ w/ Data Availability delegation
Ecosystem Interoperability
🟡 w/ wPOKT to enable liquidity
✅ w/ ability to be fully IBC compatible
Utility Focus
❌ w/ the need to maintain a Tendermint fork, validator sets, etc…
✅ w/ Comet BFT validators and the future option to delegate Consensus & Persistence to Data Availability networks.
Permissionless Gateways
🟡 w/ PNF management of app stakes
✅ w/ the addition of the Gateway actor and permissionless staking
Trustless Applications
❌ w/ the need for an off-chain Gateway an AAT management
✅ w/ permissionless Gateway ↔ Application delegation
Permissionless Services
⏳ w/ PNF management of chain_ids due to https://github.com/cosmos/iavl performance and state bloat
✅ w/ the use of https://github.com/pokt-network/smt, https://www.notion.so/Active-WIP-v2-Morse-Shannon-Feature-Migration-992224592daf42f68571b976d3590eec?pvs=21, and permissionless Service staking
Developer Productivity
❌ w/ some minimal tooling in place
✅ w/ exceptional code quality, development environment, testing utils, documentation, infra, etc…
New Features w/ Future Upgrades
🟡 w/ contributions from core ecosystem members
✅ w/ a clear path, toolset, structure and more to enable Websockets, Watchers (on-chain QoS), LLMs, and more!
New Tokenomic Models
🟡 w/ new params such as RTTM and off-chain gateway burning
✅ w/ TLMs and on-chain POKT price oracles
Gateway Innovation
🟡 w/ gateway kits being developed by community members with custom clients and SDKs.
✅ w/ a more standard stack to test, develop and enable business models that merge on-chain & off-chain
Champion Rewards
🚫 Not applicable
✅ with TLMs and PNF partnerships
