Roadmap
Redefining Cryptocurrency as a True Currency
Welcome to the journey of Atto, where we are committed to bringing cryptocurrency back to its original purpose—a medium of exchange that is accessible, efficient, and truly functional as a currency. Below is our roadmap outlining the upcoming phases and initiatives we are excited to share with our community.

Network Explorer Release
We are thrilled to announce the upcoming release of the Atto Network Explorer. This tool will provide real-time visibility into all network transactions and activities, improving transparency and allowing users to monitor the health and performance of the Atto network.
Faucet and Wallet Enhancements
Our team is working diligently to make the Atto Faucet and Wallet robust and user-friendly.
Phase 2: Mobile Wallet Releases ✅
View Details
Originally, we planned to develop native Android and iOS wallet applications. After careful consideration and initial development efforts, we’ve concluded our mobile app approach. We’re now pivoting toward a Web Wallet solution to provide a more unified and accessible experience.
Introducing the Atto Web Wallet
- Cross-Platform Accessibility: Users will be able to access the Atto Wallet from any modern web browser, removing the need for separate native apps.
- Unified Codebase: Streamlined development and maintenance, ensuring faster feature updates and security patches.
- Seamless User Experience: Designed with simplicity and performance in mind, the Web Wallet will offer a consistent interface across devices.
Phase 3: Miner ✅
View Details
Atto remains committed to a fast and green cryptocurrency model and will not compromise on that principle. Traditional mining is not only wasteful but also largely unnecessary to achieve network security. Instead, our "miner" utilizes folding@home, ensuring that electricity goes into meaningful computations that aid scientific research rather than being wasted on repetitive hashing. This approach is inspired by Banano and aligns with our vision of a sustainable and community-driven cryptocurrency.
Phase 4: Atto Full Launch ✅

Transition from Pre-Release Stage to Official Release
After running for several months, we are now confident that Atto is ready for a broader audience. With the platform stabilized and the web wallet successfully launched, we officially unveiled Atto to a bigger audience.
Phase 5: Integration
API Wallet ✅
We're currently developing an API Wallet to make integrating with the Atto network seamless. This will allow developers and services to interact with the network effortlessly, paving the way for broader adoption and listings.
Listings (In Progress)
We're actively working on getting Atto listed on key platforms to increase visibility and accessibility. Listings will make it easier for users to discover, trade, and adopt Atto across various ecosystems.
Educational Resources (In Progress)
To assist new users, we will provide:
- Comprehensive Guides: Step-by-step instructions on how to integrate Atto.
- FAQs and Support: Answers to common questions and dedicated support channels.
- Promote: Incentivize community members, developers, and content creators to spread the word about Atto through bounties, referral programs, and educational content campaigns.
Metrics
To enhance network transparency and provide valuable insights, we will:
- Expose Node Metrics: Implement prometheus endpoint so node operators can monitor the health and performance of their nodes.
- Launch a Network Dashboard: Display key live metrics on our website, such as block count, transactions per second (TPS), and other popular network statistics.
Phase 6: Representative Program Introduction
Empowering Network Participants
We are introducing the Atto Representative Program, designed to enhance network efficiency and reward participants who contribute positively.
- Performance-Based Scoring: Representatives will be evaluated on transaction confirmation speed and frequency.
- Hourly Rewards: Awards distributed every hour, proportional to voting weight and capped at 1%.
- Transparency: Clear criteria and real-time performance metrics will be available to all participants.
How to Get Involved
- Become a Representative: Instructions will be provided on how to set up and optimize your node.
- Maximize Your Impact: Tips on improving performance and increasing your contribution to the network.
Phase 7: Micropayments
We will introduce a payment protocol and browser extension to enable seamless micropayments across the web.
- Atto Payment Protocol: A simple, open protocol for requesting and confirming payments.
- Self-Hosted Server: A reference implementation that can be run by merchants or developers.
- Browser Extension: A lightweight plugin to allow users to approve and send payments directly from their browser.
