Roadmap
Where we've been and our promise for the future.


2013 - 2018
Foundation
Architecting decentralized solutions for real-world assets.
2018 - 2022
Mainnet Inception
Building and launching the permissionless OriginTrail Decentralized Knowledge
Graph mainnet in 2018, leading to adoption by world-class partners and
achieving the multichain vision for the OriginTrail network.

Turing Phase

Phase completion estimate: October 2023
The Turing phase, named after computer science pioneer Alan Turing, introduces the V6
Decentralized Knowledge Graph (DKG V6) which innovates with Knowledge Assets to enhance
information discovery, ownership, and verifiability. These advancements drive value in sectors such as
supply chains, healthcare, and more. OriginTrail introduces ChatDKG, a framework for AI based on
trusted knowledge, adressing the flaws of generative AI models (such as ChatGPT), based on
verifiable origin and trusted trail of information. Initially launched on OriginTrail's own blockchain - the
NeuroWeb, the V6 DKG enables expansion to other EVM blockchains.
Q3 2023 - 2025The Genesis period of the Metcalfe phase bootstraps the growth of the AI-native V8 Decentralized
Knowledge Graph (DKG V8), driving the verifiability of AI with its decentralized Retrieval-Augmented
Generation (dRAG). Supported by a unique knowledge mining system through the NeuroWeb
blockchain, the Genesis period is followed by a “Convergence” period, which further leverages network
effects via autonomous knowledge inferencing. The DKG V8 aims to offer a user-centric, trusted
knowledge foundation with decentralized AI functionalities, enabling individuals and organizations to
participate in a knowledge economy based on neutrality, inclusiveness, and usability—the core
principles of the OriginTrail ecosystem.
Metcalfe phase
Ongoing
“… through connectivity, decentralized knowledge graphs, blockchains, and AI are converging—and it's an important convergence, because it is going to help us with one of the biggest problems we have nowadays, which is the truth.”-
Turing award winner Dr. Bob MetcalfeDKGcon 2023—Dr. Bob Metcalfe: Seeking truth through connectivityInspired by Turing award winner Dr. Bob Metcalfe and his pioneering work, including "Metcalfe's Law" and
the creation of the first computer network The OriginTrail Metcalfe phase aims to leverage network
effects through building a web of verifiable Knowledge Assets for decentralized AI.
