title Oak Network Roadmap

Oak Network is building the future of decentralized crowdfunding infrastructure. Here's what we're developing for early 2026 and beyond.

πŸš€ Early 2026 Roadmap

Appstore - Extensible Platform Ecosystem

Timeline: Q1 2026

The Oak Network Appstore will extend our standalone client with a powerful app ecosystem, giving developers the ability to create and deploy custom features that can be used by creators, backers, and platforms.

Key Features

  • App Development Framework: Complete toolkit for building Oak Network apps
  • Backend Integration: Server-side components and API development tools
  • Frontend Components: React/Next.js components and UI libraries
  • Smart Contract Templates: Pre-built contract patterns for common use cases
  • App Store Marketplace: Discover, install, and manage third-party apps
  • Revenue Sharing: Developers earn from app usage and subscriptions

Developer Benefits

// Example: Custom analytics app
class CampaignAnalyticsApp {
  async install() {
    // Register app with Oak Network
    await oakNetwork.apps.register({
      name: 'Campaign Analytics',
      version: '1.0.0',
      permissions: ['read:campaigns', 'read:contributions']
    });
  }
  
  async analyzeCampaign(campaignId) {
    // Custom analytics logic
    const data = await this.gatherCampaignData(campaignId);
    return this.generateInsights(data);
  }
}

Catalyst - Centralized Development Experience

Timeline: Q2 2026

Catalyst is our centralized development platform that will accelerate platform and developer adoption by providing comprehensive APIs, SDKs, and tools for all trending technologies.

Core Components

  • Multi-Language SDKs: TypeScript, Python, and Golang support
  • Payment Provider Integration: On/off ramps, Stripe, and bridge solutions
  • API Gateway: Unified API for all Oak Network functionality
  • Developer Dashboard: Comprehensive management and analytics
  • Documentation Hub: Interactive docs with code examples
  • Testing Sandbox: Complete testing environment

Technology Stack

// TypeScript SDK Example
import { OakNetwork } from '@oaknetwork/catalyst-ts';

const oak = new OakNetwork({
  apiKey: process.env.OAK_API_KEY,
  environment: 'production'
});

// Create campaign with payment integration
const campaign = await oak.campaigns.create({
  goal: 10000,
  currency: 'USD',
  paymentMethods: ['stripe', 'crypto', 'fiat'],
  platforms: ['web', 'mobile']
});
# Python SDK Example
from oaknetwork import OakNetwork

oak = OakNetwork(api_key="your_api_key")

# Platform integration
platform = oak.platforms.create({
    name: "My Platform",
    fee_percent: 3.5,
    features: ["analytics", "custom_rewards"]
})
// Golang SDK Example
package main

import (
    "github.com/oaknetwork/catalyst-go"
)

func main() {
    client := oaknetwork.NewClient("your_api_key")
    
    campaign, err := client.Campaigns.Create(&oaknetwork.CampaignRequest{
        Goal: 10000,
        Currency: "USD",
        Platforms: []string{"web", "mobile"},
    })
}

Signet - Blind Key Management Platform

Timeline: Q3 2026

Signet is our revolutionary platform that enables partners to integrate with Oak Network infrastructure without sharing private keys, providing secure key management and blind authentication.

Revolutionary Features

  • Blind Key Registration: Partners register without exposing private keys
  • Key Linking: Link existing keys without sharing them
  • Key Generation: Generate new keys for clients securely
  • Blind Authentication: Verify ownership without revealing keys
  • Zero-Knowledge Proofs: Cryptographic proofs of key ownership
  • Hardware Security: Integration with hardware security modules

Integration Example

// Signet integration
import { SignetClient } from '@oaknetwork/signet';

const signet = new SignetClient({
  apiKey: process.env.SIGNET_API_KEY,
  environment: 'production'
});

// Register without sharing private key
const registration = await signet.register({
  publicKey: wallet.publicKey,
  platformId: 'my-platform',
  permissions: ['create:campaigns', 'manage:users']
});

// Blind authentication
const authProof = await signet.authenticate({
  challenge: randomChallenge,
  publicKey: wallet.publicKey
});

// Use with Oak Network
const campaign = await oakNetwork.createCampaign({
  ...campaignData,
  authProof: authProof
});

πŸ” Enhanced Security Model

Privy & Turnkey Integration

Oak Network leverages industry-leading security providers to ensure maximum security without holding any private keys.

Privy Integration

  • Embedded Wallets: Seamless wallet creation and management
  • Social Login: Email, Google, Apple, and social media authentication
  • Multi-Factor Authentication: Enhanced security for all users
  • Recovery Mechanisms: Secure account recovery without seed phrases

Turnkey Integration

  • Hardware Security: Enterprise-grade key management
  • Multi-Signature Support: Advanced transaction signing
  • Audit Trails: Complete transaction and key usage logging
  • Compliance: SOC 2 Type II and other security certifications

No Key Storage Policy

Oak Network never stores private keys. All key management is handled by:

  • Privy: For user-facing embedded wallets
  • Turnkey: For enterprise and platform key management
  • User Wallets: For direct blockchain interactions
// Privy integration example
import { PrivyProvider } from '@privy-io/react-auth';

function App() {
  return (
    <PrivyProvider
      appId="your-privy-app-id"
      config={{
        embeddedWallets: {
          createOnLogin: 'users-without-wallets',
          requireUserPasswordOnCreate: true
        },
        loginMethods: ['email', 'google', 'apple'],
        appearance: {
          theme: 'dark',
          accentColor: '#10b981'
        }
      }}
    >
      <OakNetworkApp />
    </PrivyProvider>
  );
}
