Hi Cardstack Community,

We are pleased to share with you the 2022 product roadmap for the Cardstack project. We are currently building a strong technical foundation and a live product suite to bring more features, users, and possibilities to the decentralized market. Cardstack is a full-stack Web3 platform covering wallets, dApps, protocols, and developer tools. We will push onwards throughout all layers of the stack while simultaneously working to engage, educate, and onboard Web3 users to the Cardstack community.

We are continuing to develop the Cardstack technology stack to improve launched products like Card Pay and Card Wallet, and to prepare new protocols and UX designs for beta testing.

Card Pay operates on a sidechain that keeps gas and transaction fees below a penny.

And the fee is charged fairly to the merchant. The customer never needs to encounter the blockchain transaction fee at all.

Our Card SDK team is urrently working on a new computed property system that can support Excel-like formulas in card-based applications.

This benefits users significantly.

We've been busy developing the information architecture of the Card Catalog!

The initial version will serve as a Web3 catalog. This allows us to index all the use cases, projects, and emerging specifications of various Web3 concepts, so that they can be composed and rendered using the Cardstack interface.

On the analytics front, we are working with a team of graduate students at NYU (New York University) on a development project to measure the gas usage of certain blockchain transactions, especially those made around NFT trading.

Our dApp team is creating user profile pages for all users of the Cardstack ecosystem, especially those who created merchant or business accounts as part of the Card Pay beta program.

Web3 dApps are typically used only by those who have wallets. As a result of the structures behind MetaMask and other injected wallets, the data displayed in webpages is not often sharable via URL or indexed by search engines like Google.

On the mobile application front, the team is working to improve the user experience on Android. The similarities between the Android and iOS build are increasing.

Beta users who downloaded the Android app from the Google Play Store as part of the early access program are receiving steady updates equipped with more consistent modal window handling and settings panes consistency.

As we continue refining the payment protocol, we are also preparing to deploy Card Pay and the Card Reward Protocol family to many of the EVM-compatible chains that are currently gaining users.

As part of that effort, we are writing a whitepaper with supporting developer documentation, so as to guide other EVM chains that want to bring customer / merchant payment protocols to their chain through the prerequisites and operational requirements.
