Chapter 12 · Roadmap
First prove that the commercial network is established, and then add the complexity of the chain and assets - consistent with the phased expansion of Ethereum and the evolution logic of Uniswap from v1 to v3.
The WCN roadmap is divided into three stages: Network MVP (Node and Deal closed loop) → PoB and Agent collaboration (standardization and automation) → Settlement and asset layer (value and on-chain carrying). Switching conditions are determined by maturity signals, not the calendar.
The typical "one-time on-chain + Token + full functionality" roadmap often runs out of narrative flexibility before the main network; phased delivery exposes the verifiable output of each phase (users, income, standards, risk control) to the market, and belongs to the same type of credible narrative as the Solana ecosystem's rhythm of running applications first and then replenishing the infrastructure, and Ethereum's phased roadmap centered on Rollup.
Phase 1 · Network MVP
Node access, Deal Room minimum process, Proof Desk traces, and early unit economy (seats/services/transaction fees) are measurable.
Phase 2 · PoB + Agent
PoB rules and audits are stable; Agent permissions, logs, and life cycles are controllable; high-value play is streamlined, and closed-loop density can be reviewed.
Phase 3 · Settlement and Assets
On the premise that PoB becomes a trusted input, the settlement mechanism and the digital carrying of identity/value will be promoted; only necessary abstracts and proofs will be carried on the chain.
12.1 Phase 1: Network MVPDeliverables: Auditable minimal network - nodes, Deal, Proof, early income and PoB prototype.12.2 Phase 2: PoB and Agent collaborationDeliverables: Standard PoB, controlled Agent, replicable node methodology and higher closed-loop density.12.3 The third stage: settlement and asset layerDeliverables: Clear settlement objects, standardized identity and permissions, selective on-chain implementation, and long-term ledgers.12.4 Milestones and switching signalsQuantifiable thresholds: when to move from Phase 1→2, 2→3; risk and anti-pattern checklist.
The credibility of the roadmap comes from "each stage has independently acceptable outputs", not from the radius of the roadmap slide.
Reading order: 12.1 → 12.2 → 12.3 → 12.4; 12.4 can be compared with each stage and used as a go/no-go checklist.
