# Roadmap ibc-go
|
|
|
|
*Latest update: July 7, 2022*
|
|
|
|
This document endeavours to inform the wider IBC community about plans and priorities for work on ibc-go by the team at Interchain GmbH. It is intended to broadly inform all users of ibc-go, including developers and operators of IBC, relayer, chain and wallet applications.
|
|
|
|
This roadmap should be read as a high-level guide, rather than a commitment to schedules and deliverables. The degree of specificity is inversely proportional to the timeline. We will update this document periodically to reflect the status and plans.
|
|
|
|
## Q3 - 2022
|
|
|
|
At a high level we will focus on:
|
|
|
|
### Features
|
|
|
|
- Releasing [v4.0.0](https://github.com/cosmos/ibc-go/milestone/26), which includes the ICS-29 Fee Middleware module.
|
|
- Finishing and releasing the [refactoring of 02-client](https://github.com/cosmos/ibc-go/milestone/16). This refactor will make the development of light clients easier.
|
|
- Starting the implementation of channel upgradability (see [epic](https://github.com/cosmos/ibc-go/issues/1599) and [alpha milestone](https://github.com/cosmos/ibc-go/milestone/29)) with the goal of cutting an alpha1 pre-release by the end of the quarter. Channel upgradability will allow chains to renegotiate an existing channel to take advantage of new features without having to create a new channel, thus preserving all existing packet state processed on the channel.
|
|
- Implementing the new [`ORDERED_ALLOW_TIMEOUT` channel type](https://github.com/cosmos/ibc-go/milestone/31) and hopefully releasing it as well. This new channel type will allow packets on an ordered channel to timeout without causing the closure of the channel.
|
|
|
|
### Testing and infrastructure
|
|
|
|
- Adding [automated e2e tests](https://github.com/cosmos/ibc-go/milestone/32) to the repo's CI.
|
|
|
|
### Documentation and backlog
|
|
|
|
- Finishing and releasing the upgrade to Cosmos SDK v0.46.
|
|
- Writing the [light client implementation guide](https://github.com/cosmos/ibc-go/issues/59).
|
|
- Working on [core backlog issues](https://github.com/cosmos/ibc-go/milestone/28).
|
|
- Depending on the timeline of the Cosmos SDK, implementing and testing the changes needed to support the [transition to SMT storage](https://github.com/cosmos/ibc-go/milestone/21).
|
|
|
|
We have also received a lot of feedback to improve Interchain Accounts and we might also work on a few things, but will depend on priorities and availability.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
### Release schedule
|
|
|
|
#### **July**
|
|
|
|
We will probably cut at least one more release candidate of v4.0.0 before the final release, which should happen around the end of the month.
|
|
|
|
For the Rho upgrade of the Cosmos Hub we will also release a new minor version of v3 with SDK 0.46.
|
|
|
|
#### **August**
|
|
|
|
In the first half we will probably start cutting release candidates for the 02-client refactor. Final release would most likely come out at the end of the month or beginning of September.
|
|
|
|
#### **September**
|
|
|
|
We might cut some pre-releases for the new channel type, and by the end of the month we expect to cut the first alpha pre-release for channel upgradability.
|
|
|
|
## Q4 - 2022
|
|
|
|
We will continue the implementation and cut the final release of [channel upgradability](https://github.com/cosmos/ibc/blob/master/spec/core/ics-004-channel-and-packet-semantics/UPGRADES.md). At the end of Q3 or maybe beginning of Q4 we might also work on designing the implementation and scoping the engineering work to add support for [multihop channels](https://github.com/cosmos/ibc/pull/741/files), so that we could start the implementation of this feature during Q4 (but this is still be decided).
