ARCHITECTURE
The protocol, by layer and by status.
One diagram, three honest columns: what runs today, what is under research, and what does not exist yet. Design intent is never presented as shipped capability.

Implemented today
Research prototype
- Disclosure-code client core (TDC + ADC lower bound) — 40/40 tests passing
- Single-node chain prototype with tested shielded-pool operations
- Account-level viewing key registration
- Development-key Groth16 verification path (not production ZK)
Under research
Research
- Shielded transaction model end-to-end with hidden amounts
- Disclosure credentials: server-side verification, expiry and revocation
- Audit controls: time-range, asset and counterparty scoping
Not implemented
Not started
- Mainnet
- Production privacy
- Production proof system and trusted setup
- PoS validator economy
