Future Roadmap

Mobile App Store Release

Native iOS and Android app published to the App Store and Google Play via Capacitor builds. Push notifications, biometric unlock, and camera integration for image uploads.

IOTA 2.0 Mainnet Deployment

Deploy the smart contract to IOTA 2.0 mainnet when it goes live. Includes migration tooling for testnet data, gas fee estimation per action type, and sponsored transaction support.

Plugin / Extension System

Allow developers to create plugins that extend forum functionality: custom post types, integrations with external services, theme plugins, and automated moderation rules.

AI Content Moderation

Multi-language content moderation powered by AI. Automatic detection of spam, toxic content, and policy violations with configurable sensitivity and moderator review queue.

Cross-Forum Federation

Connect multiple IotaPolis instances into a federated network. Users can interact across forums with their single wallet identity, cross-forum search, and shared reputation.

Creator Analytics

Advanced analytics dashboard for content creators: post performance, tip trends, subscriber growth, audience demographics, and content recommendations.

NFT Integration

Tokenized avatars and badges as NFTs on IOTA. Users can mint, trade, and display NFT collectibles. Badge achievements as transferable on-chain assets.
