Xahau Roadmap
Enterprise network with minimal feature additions, maximal reliability
Xahau is an Enterprise Grade Layer-1 Blockchain. Protocol changes are deliberate and few. Most of the work is in rollouts: audits, integrations and partnerships that put the network in the hands of real users. Items listed here are indicative and subject to change. This roadmap currently only covers core development and activities shared by INFTF.

Feature · in beta development
Random Number Generator
Native on-ledger RNG primitive — verifiable, tamper-resistant randomness for Hooks and applications.
Feature · in development
FeatureExport
Export lets a Xahau user or hook request that the Xahau UNL sign a transaction destined for the XRPL — an ordinary transaction with a MultiSign block in which each UNL member contributes one of the signatures. This allows Xahau hooks to effectively control XRPL accounts and issue and manage assets on XRPL.
Feature · ready for amendment
AMM
Automated Market Maker primitive for deep native liquidity on the Xahau DEX. Merged into the xahaud dev branch, awaiting amendment vote.
Feature · ready for amendment
PriceOracle
Native on-ledger price feed primitive — tamper-resistant asset prices for DeFi, AMM and Hooks. Merged into the xahaud dev branch, awaiting amendment vote.
Feature · in development
IOURewardClaim
Extends the current RewardClaim for XAH to make it available for IOU tokens as well — letting projects use Hooks to distribute rewards based on a user's token holdings.
Feature · in development
NamedHook
Allows names to be set to identify Hooks, so different Hooks can be invoked even within the same transaction type.
