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

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.

performing regular security audits on all aspects of chain function.

cleanup and maintenance of the state model that makes up the FIO protocol

reducing the size and complexity of on chain state model.

providing off chain solutions for read access to FIO state model.
