Introduction
Fusion introduces a novel framework for securely fusing assets, data, and logic across both public and permissioned distributed ledgers. It is underpinned by Quant's foundational patents [1, 2] and a decade of enterprise-grade deployment experience in regulated environments.
Fusion has two core technical components:
- Multi-ledger Rollup: this is a next-generation rollup architecture that supports execution and settlement across multiple Layer 1 blockchains — both permissionless and permissioned — within a single shared environment. It aims to fuse the benefits of public permissionless blockchains— such as transparency, decentralised trust, and auditability— with those of permissioned blockchains, including privacy, performance, and fine-grained access control, all within a single unified technical infrastructure.
- Network of Networks: This enables users to integrate their own nodes and blockchain networks into the Fusion ecosystem, forming a modular, extensible mesh of interconnected ledgers. It provides fine-grained access control, allowing participants to define which data, transactions, or smart contracts are exposed to whom. Privacy is natively embedded, ensuring that sensitive operations remain confidential.
Roadmap
The following are the general roadmaps for the two key Fusion components.
These are general guidelines. These roadmaps are subject to change according to business and legal requirements. Any potential changes to the general roadmap will be tracked and recorded, including the reasoning for the change.
Multi-Ledger Rollup Roadmap
Feature | Description | Timeframe |
---|---|---|
Devnet | Launched with invited testers on selected public blockchain testnets, utilising pre-selected trusted node providers | End of June |
Testnet | Launched for any Quant Connect user on selected public blockchain testnets, utilising pre-selected trusted node providers | Within a small number of weeks |
Mainnet | Launched for any Quant Connect user on selected public blockchain mainnets, utilising pre-selected trusted node providers | Within a small number of months |
Mainnet+ | Expanding the mainnet release, by connecting the Multi-Ledger Rollup to more networks (public or permissioned) | Roughly aligning with the Network of Network's BYON and BYOC feature releases |
Network of Networks Roadmap
Feature | Description | Timeframe |
---|---|---|
Pre-selected trusted node providers | Quant has manually selected initial node providers to build the first phase of Fusion on. | Complete |
Bring your own node (BYON) for selected networks | Quant Connect users will now be able to automatically connect nodes to Fusion. Leveraging QNT staking and QNT rewards in order incentivise this. | Within a small number of months |
Open source connector specification | A public release detailing how to build a service that will allow any Quant Connect user to connect any network to Fusion. | Within a small number of months |
Bring your own connector (BYOC) | Users can automatically connect any network to Fusion, via Quant's open source connector specification. | Following on from above |
