What we're doing
Whisper Wallet (Mobile)
Led by aguycalled
Whisper Wallet is the ultimate light and easy-to-use mobile wallet. Long in the making, it's designed to be a user-friendly experience for newcomers and crypto natives alike, bringing Navcoin’s huge feature set together in a seamless and powerful package.
Complete Privacy with Codebase Rebase
Led by Navcoin Core
We're going to remove public transactions from our blockchain, and transition to complete privacy with our BLSCT privacy protocol applied to all transactions and operations within Navcoin's ecosystem. Simultaneously, we're rebasing our codebase from bitcoin 0.13 to 0.23.
Decentralized Private NFT Marketplace
Led by sakdeniz
With Navcoin's on-chain trading protocol and its utilization of Atomic Swaps and BLS signatures, allowing trade to happen freely and privately, we're building a decentralized marketplace on which users can trade private NFTs.
Decentralized Private Token Exchange
Led by sakdeniz
With Navcoin's on-chain trading protocol and its utilization of Atomic Swaps and BLS signatures, allowing trade to happen freely and privately, we're building a DEX on which users can trade private wrapped versions of many tokens.
Social Mining Platform Update
Led by Navcoin Core
A number of improvements to be applied to our social mining platform, in order to widen the list of tasks that people can choose from when deciding how to contribute to Navcoin and its ecosystem. We also intend to revise the reward system that goes along with these tasks.
What's next?
Whisper Wallet (Desktop)
Led by aguycalled
With Whisper Wallet released on mobile devices, we'll focus on bringing the ultimate light-wallet experience to the desktop as well.
BTCPay Server Integration
Led by aguycalled
In the ethos of facilitating secure, private and censorship-resistant payments, we intend to integrate xNAV as a payment method on the popular BTCPay Server.
Private Token Bridge Pilot Activation
Led by aguycalled
Utilizing Navcoin's private token capabilities, we'll add support for ERC20 or BEP20 tokens to be bridged to its wrapped private version. The activation of tokens will happen in agreement with the community.
Game Engine SDK
Led by sakdeniz
An SDK targeting the gaming industry allowing developers to integrate with Navcoin's ecosystem giving their users the ability to connect their wallet facilitating in-game transfers or use of private tokens and NFTs.
BLSCT Transactions in Swift
Led by anquii
Following the release of our Swift library to derivate BLSCT keys on native Apple platforms (iOS/MacOS), we'll add support for BLSCT transactions.
Completed tasks
BLSCT Keys in Swift
Led by anquii
An implementation of BLSCT in Swift supporting the derivation of private and public keys, as well as the coding of addresses, the private view key and the spend key. BLSCT transactions are currently not supported, but will be added in a future release.
On-Chain Trading Protocol
Led by aguycalled
An on-chain trading protocol allowing tokens to be traded on Navcoin's blockchain using Atomic Swaps and BLS signatures. With many centralized exchanges now enforcing KYC, we believe that it's an important step for Navcoin to allow trade to happen freely and on-chain.
Private NFTs
Led by aguycalled
With Navcoin on its way to become a high-utility privacy platform that new and existing projects can use to obtain privacy, we're introducing the ability to mint NFTs with the same privacy-preserving properties as xNAV.
Private Tokens
Led by aguycalled
As part of Navcoin's plan to become a high-utility privacy platform that new and existing projects can use to obtain privacy, we're introducing the ability to mint private tokens with the same privacy-preserving properties as xNAV.
Improvements to xNAV
Led by aguycalled
A proposition to optimize the cryptographic verification protocol of the transaction candidates used in the xNAV mixing protocol resulting in a greatly reduced network load along with significant improvements to the performance of the nodes.
dotNAV
Led by aguycalled
An on-chain naming service where one can buy a name with the .nav suffix, and then associate it to their NAV or xNAV address, or perhaps an internet resource that they own. On-chain trustless trades of names will be possible via Atomic Swaps and BLS signatures.
Super Proposals
Led by aguycalled
A new type of proposal to request a temporary increase to the block rewards as well as the per block contribution to our decentralized treasury. A super proposal differs from a normal proposal by printing the requested coins rather than subtracting them from the coins available in the treasury.
Burn Transaction Fees
Led by aguycalled
A proposition to burn transaction fees and remove them from the circulating supply, as opposed to what happens in the current protocol, where fees from a transaction included in a block are added to the staking reward.
Social Mining Platform
Led by aguycalled
A social mining platform is in the works to allow Navcoin to reward people carrying out actions of value to the network. E.g. by sharing Navcoin's message on social media, or by creating promotional content for the project.
MCL Library Integration
Led by aguycalled
The MCL library greatly improves the speed of which xNAV transactions are created and verified. An increase in speed of 200% is expected once the library is implemented.
Boost Library Cleanup
Led by mxaddict
With Navcoin Core now supporting the C++17 standard, we're cleaning up our use of the Boost Library by removing the use of certain features.
Website Revamp
Led by anquii
A new website for Navcoin has been created to better help people learn about Navcoin and to educate themselves on the tools that Navcoin has to offer.

Define Improved Privacy
Led by aguycalled
As a replacement for the secondary NavTech blockchain, a new privacy solution is being developed to work at the protocol level called ZeroCT.
Static Block Reward
Led by proletesseract
Modifying the block reward from percentage based to static in an effort to increase network security and align Navcoin with the PoSv3 specification.
Cold Staking
Led by aguycalled
Allowing for NAV, which are stored offline, to sign staking inputs that greatly increase the security of funds used for staking.

Increase Community Fund
Led by proletesseract
Modifying the community fund contribution from 0.25 NAV to 0.5 NAV to retain the 80:20 ratio when static block rewards are activated.
Community Fund Accumulation
Led by aguycalled
Navcoin's network voted to reduce the staking reward to 4% and include 0.25 NAV per block for the Community Fund. This consensus change was activated on the 3rd of July 2018 and the Community Fund has been steadily accumulating since.
Community Fund
Led by aguycalled
Navcoin’s Community Fund enables anyone to get paid by the network for their contributions to the Navcoin ecosystem. Projects are funded and approved by the decentralized network with no central authority.
NTP Synchronisation
Led by aguycalled
Navcoin Core now makes it mandatory to clock sync against an NTP server on launch. This was introduced to prevent stakers creating blocks with incorrect timestamps which was causing block spacing issues for the network.
Segregated Witness
Led by proletesseract
After rebasing to Bitcoin 0.13, Navcoin's network voted on implementing SegWit transactions. The vote succeeded and SegWit was activated on 25 December 2017 and SegWit transactions can now take place on the network.
Rebase from Bitcoin Core 0.13
Led by proletesseract
Navcoin Core was upgraded to align with the Bitcoin 0.13 source code to increase Navcoin's stability, functionality and the ability to integrate with other software including the Insight API.
Hierarchical Deterministic Wallets
Led by Soopy452000
After rebasing the Navcoin protocol in 2016, BIP32 was implemented in Navcoin Core. Addresses are now generated deterministically from a master private key, removing the requirement to frequently back up your wallet.
Blockchain Restart
Led by Soopy452000
Navcoin's blockchain was reset in May 2016 as part of a rebase to an updated blockchain format. This is why although Navcoin has been around since 2014, the genisis block of our current blockchain was mined in 2016.
