Quick status updates on our Q1 projects
x.com/compose/articles/edit/…
Consensus Simplification
Core protocol simplification to ensure consistent results across full nodes. Foundation for better finality and future protocol changes
➡️ Status: Done, rollout on hold
Dynamic Transaction Model
Deposit-based vs fee-based tokens. Client releases to support the new model. Feature activation and mainnet rollout
➡️ Status: Done, feature activation succeeded on testnet India, now being tested
Developer Experience
Hathor skills for Claude Code, Hathor Forge
➡️ Status: Scope updated, see
x.com/trondbjoroy/status/201…
Jupyter Notebooks Infrastructure
Executable notebooks for development. Experimentation, inspection, and validation tooling
➡️ Status: Done, about to be rolled out
Developer Tooling & Documentation Improvements
Library improvements, simplified Nano Contract docs and tutorials
➡️ Status: In progress
Faster Finality
Short-term: Reduce DAA target block time. Long-term: Decentralized Sequencer Architecture for near-instant finality
➡️ Status: RFC discussing reduced block times out:
github.com/HathorNetwork/rfc…
Onchain Blueprints (OCBs)
Permissionless blueprint deployment, lifting nano restrictions
➡️Status: In progress
Nano Fees
Fee mechanism to mitigate DoS risks (CPU, memory, storage). Enabler for permissionless nanos and OCBs
➡️ Status: In progress
Permissionless Full Nodes
Removal of full node whitelist
➡️ Status: In review
Blueprint Marketplace
Marketplace MVP (browse and submit blueprints). Full marketplace with royalties after OCBs nano fees launch
➡️Status: MVP to be rolled out soon
Shielded Transactions
Research, technical design, and possible POC
➡️ Status: Research and benchmarking
Wallet Improvements
- Token Swap (Released, TBA)
- Easier app connections and permissions (Reown deeplinking released, TBA)
- Single address by default (in progress)
- QA automation and test coverage (in progress)
- Dependency upgrades (in progress)
- Easier token import (design done)
- thoth integration (design done)
- Better network change handling (not started)
- Web3Auth integration (not started)
- Support for newer Ledger devices (not started)
Explorer Improvements
Better visibility into blueprints, nanos, and activity
➡️ Status: Design
Token Improvements
Support for more decimals, better UX for payments and financial instruments
➡️ Status: Not started
External Integrations
Oracle and Bitcoin OS integrations, bridge expansion
➡️Status: Ongoing talks with external teams
$HTR
Developer experience at Hathor is evolving fast. We're focusing less on our playground to meet developers where they already are instead. Using AI inside modern IDEs feels like the right abstraction now
We're working on two fronts:
1. Hathor Skills - Claude skills for vibe coders and non-devs. The Blueprint skill is live, more coming:
github.com/hathornetwork/hat…
2. Hathor Forge: One-click local blockchain for developers (think Ganache for Hathor)
Work in progress but usable today:
github.com/hathornetwork/hat…
What you get:
✅ One-Click Fullnode - Start a local Hathor node with a pre-funded development wallet
✅ Integrated CPU Miner - Mine blocks instantly for testing with real-time hash rate display
✅ Multi-Wallet Support - Create and manage multiple wallets via the wallet-headless service
✅ Built-in Faucet - Send HTR from the fullnode's wallet to any address
✅ Block Explorer - Embedded explorer to browse blocks, transactions, and addresses
✅ Real-Time Dashboard - Monitor block height, hash rate, and service status
✅ MCP Server - AI integration allowing Claude to control the entire environment
✅ Zero Configuration - Works out of the box with sensible defaults
We're also shipping Hathor Learn with executable Jupyter Notebooks. Official comms on all of the above soon
