Launch Roadmap

Last updated: 2026-06-28

Cortensor's network roadmap moves from community testing and devnet work into a 2026 launch path for decentralized inference, validation, and agentic infrastructure. It is organized around protocol, router, validation, and launch readiness. Product-specific roadmaps live with their product pages.

Roadmap dates are planning windows that move with network, router, contract, and product readiness.

2026 Launch Tracks

Router Agent evolution

Router Node grows into an agent-ready surface with completions, validate, delegate, factcheck, MCP, A2A, and x402 payment support.

Agentic ecosystem integration

Cortensor and Corgent connect to Virtual, ACP, and ERC-8004-style agent ecosystems as execution and verification infrastructure.

Network launch

Four testnet phases lead into Mainnet-Lite on Arbitrum L2 Alpha, then Mainnet-Full on COR L3 Beta.

Current Calendar Position

As of June 28, 2026, the active roadmap window is the late-Q2 to early-Q3 transition from testnet phases 3-4 into mainnet preparation. This window centers on validation and agent readiness:

  • /validate as a first-class route.
  • PoI and PoUW as reusable validation primitives.
  • Router v1.6 / COR Prover work for scoring and normalization.
  • ERC-8004 service metadata and agent discovery alignment.
  • Mainnet preparation for payments, bridge, RPC, explorer, indexer, audits, and operations.
