Roadmap

Phase 1: Neural Base and Data Collection (In Progress)

  • Objective: Create a rudimentary neural simulation of the tardigrade using extant biological research.
  • Collaborate with Researchers to collect and process neural data.
  • Develop a basic neural network for imitating simple behaviors exhibited by tardigrades, including movement and survival states.

Stage 2: Tardi Terminal

  • Objective: Build an interactive app for tracking and engaging with Tardi’s behavior.
  • Searchable Transactions: Allow users to view how their $TARDI transactions affect Tardi's movements and state.
  • Have Tardi tweet independently about its movements, state changes, and significant interactions.

Phase 3: On-Chain Integration

  • Objective: Deploy the neural simulation of the tardigrade to the blockchain.
  • Update the neural simulation to be modular and on-chain.
  • Explain how each type of transaction translates to "energy" for the tardigrade.

Phase 4: Neurobiological and Behavioral Simulation

  • Objective: Develop detailed neural and behavioral models based on state-of-the-art biological research.
  • Mapping the Neural Connectome: Use electron microscopy to map the neural network of the tardigrade, integrating the findings into the simulation.
  • Behavioral Studies: Simulate the basic tardigrade behaviors—moving, feeding, and survival states—validated through real-world observations.
  • Genome Annotation: Construct the whole metabolic and functional pathways from the available genomic data.
