To celebrate, the company's CEO, Frederik Gregaard, published the project's roadmap on his official Twitter account, to look back and assess everything that his team has achieved to date.

Retrospectively, it details the different phases the project has seen over these years and the implementations that have been carried out.

Starting with the founding of Byron, whose initial goal was to build a peer-reviewed open source 3rd generation blockchain. Its main challenge was to face the characteristic challenges of any blockchain: scalability, interoperability, and sustainability.

While creating a scalable, sustainable, and interoperable platform, they began building a large community involved with the blockchain and web3 industry from the ground up.

Following the Byron phase, Shelley took center stage. During this stage, the team focused its efforts on encouraging participation and incentives. Through the increase in nodes managed by the participants, the security and solidity of the network was strengthened. In turn, they implemented a system based on "Proof of Stake" (POS) to provide the community with incentives and promote the blockchain.

The third phase of the project, Goguen, featured smart contracts. Throughout this period, emphasis was placed on the usefulness of these mechanisms to create decentralized applications on the Cardano network itself.

Today the team continues to provide solutions to problems related to the proper function of the network.

The Basho phase, in which the project currently finds itself, promises to optimize the scalability and interoperability of the platform. To accomplish this they are in the process of introducing side chains and new styles of parallel accounting.

The ideal scenario occurs in the last stage, Voltaire, where Cardano is set to become a self-sufficient system, with its own voting and treasury system in which its members will be able to use their participation and voting rights to influence the future development of the network.

The team still has a long road ahead. But for now, it's time to celebrate what has already been achieved and continue building.
