OmiseGO has posted another development update in the form of an updated Roadmap. This is the roadmap that was promised last week in last week's development update by the founder of OmiseGO. This version of the roadmap is labelled v.1.
The roadmap doesn't deliver much in the form of dates, contrary to what one might think when thinking of a roadmap. It is a lengthy post of a somewhat idealistic and poetic nature that describes the different stepping stones that OmiseGO plans to take, each phase being named after moves from the Chinese traditional board game 'Go'.
The first step, combined projects called Fuseki and Sente, will focus on providing wallet SDK's. Step two, Honte, is aimed at laying the foundations of the Plasma network (on course for delivery in Q1/Q2 2018!). The third step is Aji and it's goal is to provide a FIAT gateway. The fourth step is Tesuji, which will elaborate on the Plasma network. Tengen is the fifth step, which will implement Tesuji on the finished OmiseGO network.
Beyond this updated (is it?) Roadmap the post contains some of their recent successes and partnerships with Global Brain and Krungsri Bank (MUFG) and a lot of symbologic references.
It may come as a small disappointment to investors of the OMG token, who surely hoped for more concrete or exciting news after the announcement of the updated Roadmap was made last week. There is little noteworthy news in this that was not already widely known. This is something we've grown used to however, as it isn't the first time that non-news is hyped up in advance by the OmiseGO team. Regardless, it is good to see that projects are generally advancing nicely.
