🗺️Roadmap

Phase 1 — Foundations of Participation

• Launch the core mobile logging interface

Deploy the SkySync mobile client (React Native & PWA), supporting real-time submission of sky images, environmental notes, and localized micro-forecasts. Interface includes offline-first caching and EIP-712 signature binding

• Deploy a live environmental mesh

Visualize user-submitted data in a dynamic map interface, clustering by location and content type. The first iteration will focus on air quality and weather visibility layers.

• Introduce the $SYN token and reward baseline

Activate basic on-chain reward functions tied to verified submissions. Early participants receive linear base rewards with visibility into scoring breakdowns per action.

• Initialize the distributed validation layer

Launch the first generation of community validators using peer-assigned batch validation. Each verdict is signed, logged, and contributes to a validator’s reputation ledger.

Phase 2 — Role Expansion & Ecosystem Structuring

• Enable forecast trails and accuracy scoring

Users can review their prediction histories and receive post-event accuracy feedback. Forecast scoring will influence token multipliers and protocol trust weight.

• Launch curation tools and index formation

Allow curators to tag events, form clusters, and propose index structures. Indexed groupings will support map overlays and queryable public datasets.

• Activate decentralized reputation weighting

Introduce a role-based scoring system that adjusts visibility and influence without requiring identity linkage. Reputation is based solely on interaction consistency and output value.

• Onboard data ecosystem partners

Begin integration with ecological NGOs, air quality initiatives, or urban resilience teams to enable external use of SkySync data for real-world campaigns or monitoring.

Phase 3 — System Governance and Interoperability

• Deploy a DAO interface with behavior-weighted voting

Token-based governance will consider role composition and scoring history, rather than pure holdings. Users across roles participate in upgrade proposals and parameter setting.

• Launch programmable data APIs and toolkits

Open structured access to submission, forecast, and curation streams. APIs will support filtered queries, time-based pulls, and custom visualization layers for researchers and builders.

• Integrate cross-chain compatibility layer

Enable submission anchoring on alternate L2s or sidechains, supporting exportable hash formats and cross-network participation. Initial targets: Arbitrum, Base, and zkSync.

• Introduce dynamic staking zones

Allow $SYN to be staked by region or data type, with emissions weighted toward reliability, under-reporting zones, or strategic sensor density expansion.

Phase 4 — Global Scale and Embedded Utility

• Expand to low-visibility regions via validator grants

Allocate resource grants and localized staking pools to incentivize validators in data-sparse regions. Selection based on climate vulnerability + reporting voids.

• Partner with cities to deploy on-the-ground stations

SkySync-compatible community weather nodes or sensor packages will be piloted in collaboration with urban and environmental agencies.

• Release open data libraries and system exports

Periodically publish open-source snapshots and archive sets for use in academic, civic, or planetary-scale simulations.

• Position SkySync as a data protocol layer

Promote SkySync as the sensing and participation infrastructure for other DAOs, eco-projects, or public networks requiring verifiable climate presence data.
