This set of documents has been identified by the FIO Core Technology team as a candidate for attention in the 2022/2023 timeframe. These projects address areas that the core technology team has deemed critical to the “health and wellness” of the FIO Protocol going forward, but which have not been included and which help to achieve the KPIs specific in the

Project Areas of Focus -
...
Identify and address performance deficits in the present FIO design.
Permit the FIO Protocol to integrate and deploy releases more flexibly and rapidly.
Better Educate and inform the FIO community regarding all aspects of FIO, best practices.
Address critical deficit in (lack of security focus) Provide capabilities the FIO Protocol needs to observe, identify, and respond to security threats
Address Performance Deficits.
-Clean up state
...
-Limits of the present design
reduce on chain state size and complexity.
provide a standard, performant, easily used set of readers for FIO state.
eliminate the need for FIO Core update for reader access
...
Analyze the limits of FIOs state tables, understand when tables are getting close to limits, Create tools and processes that can be used to analyze the “state of state tables”. Create tools that can be used to clean tables. Stimulate discussion regarding what data should be cleaned and why.
– Optimize size and complexity of FIO state model.
Analyze the limits of FIO state to better understand the functional limits of the protocol in relation to the amount of information that is contained in FIO state. Document options that will help the FIO Protocol to handle volume well beyond its' present functional limits.
Analyze the limits of the FIO read operations, Document options that might help the FIO Protocol to provide read access for integrators that functions well beyond FIOs present limits.
Analyze the overhead for block producers and community members regarding playbacks, snapshots, and other operations performed regularly by BPs. Document options that might be helpful to the FIO Protocol when significant load is experienced by the protocol
Provide more flexibility of project integration and deployment
