Hydranet - Roadmap Update – 2025 Part II


X/Twitter: https://x.com/TheHydranet/status/1939759889615921520

In the second half of 2025, our focus will revolve around three core pillars:

1. Security
Stress testing, improvements to our EVM Watchtowers, and further hardening of our infrastructure.
We’re also exploring the integration of Lightning Watchtowers developed by Talaia Labs.
With mainnet on the horizon, security continues to be the backbone of everything we build.

2. Lithium
We’re finalizing the remaining features and edge cases to complete the Lithium protocol.
Once this is done, we will proceed with a comprehensive audit to ensure its robustness and long-term resilience.

3. Releases
Open Beta and Mainnet will be completed—alongside the release of several long-anticipated features.
Our priority is to put Hydranet into more hands, delivering a product that’s stable and secure.

Stay Up to Date
You can always find the latest version of our roadmap here: https://docs.hydranet.ai/resources/roadmap…

We’re making strong progress and currently aiming for an Open Beta in July 2025. More information will follow soon.
