Roadmap
Here are a few details about what we've shipped recently, what we're working on, and what's in store for XMTP in the months ahead.
Researching 🔬
Scoping goals, requirements, and effort via research and proofs of concepts.
Group chat
Users will be able to send messages to group chats with 2+ participants.
Team inboxes
Teams will be able to read and send encrypted DMs and announcements using a shared team identity. The account admin will be able to delegate access to and revoke access from individual team user accounts.
Post delivery storage
Users will be able to store their messaging data off-network.
Implement Signal protocol
xmtp-js SDK will achieve parity with the Signal protocol for security features like forward secrecy, post-compromise secrecy, and more.
Account abstraction
Support account abstraction, enabling smart contract wallets and non-EVM addresses to be compatible with XMTP.
Deleting and editing messages
Users will be able to delete and edit messages.
In progress 🏗️
Projects in flight.
Network decentralization milestones
XMTP Labs will specify a phased approach toward architectural and logical decentralization of the network.
Private testnet - Phase 1
Implement control plane sharding and topic replication in a private test environment.
Compromise recovery
Users will be able to recover their compromised XMTP identity by creating new private keys.
App permissions
Users will be able to grant explicit permission for an app to use their account across sessions and will be able to revoke this permission at any time.
Pre-Preview 👀
A super early peek into what we're building. Ready for exploration, not adoption.
Mobile support for React Native
Developers can start building mobile client apps in React Native using the React Native SDK.
Developer Preview 🧑💻
Opportunity to test, validate, and provide feedback. We do not recommend usage in production apps just yet.
UI Kit & React Hooks SDK
Enable developers to focus on differentiating features by providing reusable messaging components via a UI kit & React Hooks SDK.
Build Android apps in Kotlin
Developers will be able to build Android apps in Kotlin using the xmtp-android SDK.
Push notifications - example server
Apps will be able to leverage an example server to subscribe users for push notifications to their devices upon receiving new messages.
General Availability ✅
Ready for use in production apps.
Build JavaScript and React apps
Developers can build apps in JavaScript and React with the xmtp-js SDK.
Build iOS apps in Swift
Developers can build iOS apps in Swift using the xmtp-ios SDK.
Build Flutter and mobile apps in Dart
Developers can build Flutter and mobile apps in Dart using the xmtp-flutter SDK.
Secure key storage module
The Keystore module allows XMTP private keys to be stored in persistent LocalStorage.
XMTP v2 (December 2022)
Conversation filtering
Developers can group and filter conversations in a particular context using conversationId.
Participant privacy
Network clients responsible for relaying and storing messages can no longer observe the addresses of participants in ongoing conversations.
