**Timeline:** May 2026 - April 2027
**Team:** Quirin + Andre, part-time (~25 hrs/week combined), feature-based ownership
**Approach:** Each quarter has a theme. Within each quarter, Quirin and Andre pick features independently. Every quarter includes a stability/testing slice alongside feature work.
**Approach:** Month-by-month cadence combining baseline maintenance with feature delivery. No hard requirements for feature delivery or releases — tasks scale up/down based on project activity.

## Research Track

| Topic | Description | Months | Owner |
|-------|-------------|--------|-------|
| **FROST multi-sig wallets** | Research FROST (Flexible Round-Optimized Schnorr Threshold) signatures for Cardano. Evaluate feasibility of replacing or complementing native script multi-sig with threshold Schnorr signatures — smaller on-chain footprint, better privacy (single signature on-chain), and flexible threshold schemes. Investigate Cardano-compatible FROST libraries, protocol readiness, and migration path from current native scripts. | 6-9 | Quirin |

**Research deliverables:**
- Written summary of FROST vs native script trade-offs
- Proof-of-concept if libraries are available
- Go/no-go recommendation for integration into the platform

---

## Flexibility

- No requirements for feature delivery or releases
- Tasks can scale up/down based on project activity
- Monthly tasks can be identical where appropriate
- Features shift forward if blockers arise — maintenance baseline always holds

---

## How to work together

**Cadence:**
- Weekly 30-min sync to pick up / hand off features
- Each contributor owns 1-2 features per quarter end-to-end
- Each contributor owns 1-2 features per month end-to-end
- PRs reviewed by the other contributor before merge

**Feature ownership principles:**
- Claim features at quarter start based on interest/expertise
- "Quirin or Andre" labels mean either can take it - decide at weekly sync
- If one finishes early, pull from next quarter or tackle bugs

**Milestones:**
- End of each quarter: tag a release, update CHANGELOG
- Mid-quarter check-in: are we on track? Adjust scope if needed
