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 in the DAO-49 - Getting issue details... STATUS worker proposal.

Areas of Focus -

Address key deficits of the present FIO design.

-Clean up state (removal of old/out-dated data)

-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

Ease the deployability of the FIO Protocol.

make FIO more configuration oriented for

new contracts

new features

Soft forking changes to FIO repository

Modify contracts to ease contract deploy-ability

reduce number of contracts impacted by changes to common code.

reduce binary size of each FIO contract

Address key deficits of community engagement

Training, documentation, and best practices

For block producers.

For API node hosting

For exchange integration.

For contract development

For FIO (core C++) development

Address Deficits in Security processes and practices.
