# Future Work

This page tracks directions Vellum intends to pursue beyond mainnet launch. Items here are intentionally framed as future work, not current properties.

## Progressive decentralization

* Move sequencer ordering toward shared standards as the broader ecosystem produces them.
* Distribute multisig authority across more independent signers.
* Open additional bridge components to community participation.

## Sequencer evolution

* Evaluate and adopt shared sequencing patterns.
* Reduce the impact of sequencer outages.
* Improve transparency of sequencer policy.

## Bridge improvements

* Reduce the perceived friction of withdrawals while preserving the finalization window.
* Expand the canonical token list with rigorous review.
* Improve indexing and observability of bridge events.

## Operations improvements

* Continue tightening SLOs as confidence grows.
* Expand external uptime checks.
* Publish more detailed status metrics.

## Tooling

* Provide first-party SDKs and templates as needed by the ecosystem.
* Improve the onboarding experience for new dapps.
* Better defaults for testnet-to-mainnet workflows.

## Security

* Run continuous bug bounty.
* Cycle additional audits as components evolve.
* Publish more transparent risk dashboards.

## Documentation

* Keep this site updated with every meaningful change.
* Add postmortems and lessons learned where applicable.
* Continue refining clarity and accessibility.

## What is not promised here

This page describes intent. It does not commit Vellum to specific timelines or to any particular implementation. The roadmap will be updated as priorities and conditions change.
