Nebulas research and development’s current focus is Nebulas 2.0 (Nova), which is expected to be completed by the end of the fourth quarter of 2018, implementing Nebulas Rank, Developer Incentive Protocol and Nebulas blockchain execution environment.

At that time, Nebulas 2.0 (Nova) will become the first public chain with native incentives for developers, greatly expanding the development possibilities of community developers and helping Nebulas community’s development. To ensure the smooth realization of Nebulas technologies’ vision, we initiate the attempt of Nebulas technology community-driven development by following the objective laws of blockchain community.

Nebulas Technical Committee (NTC) will play an important role in the process of Nebulas community development, which will serve as the pilot of the community project direction and the enabler of technology implementation. NTC will adhere to the spirits of openness, sharing and transparency, and be committed to promoting the decentralization and community-driven development of Nebulas technology R&D.

Blockchain technologies open the possibilities for building new, self-motivated and open source communities. The technical concepts of Nebulas including the value discovery system, the self-evolution and the self-motivation provide a guarantee for building a world of decentralized collaboration. NTC will make every effort to realize the vision.

The first Nebulas Technical Committee consists of the members from the Nebulas Foundation, the Nebulas Technology Development Team, the Nebulas Research Institute, and the Nebulas Ecosystem Project. The members are as follows:

*In the future, NTC will gradually accept the members from the community, and the specific rules and requirements will be announced later.

Nowadays, in the field of blockchain innovation, the open source communities are showing infinite power and greater possibilities. Companies, organizations and individuals all can participate in community-driven open source projects. We hope the development and use of Nebulas will bring together the community’s power. NTC will unswervingly promote the community-driven development of Nebulas, and build an incentive positive and prosperous Nebulas ecosystem based on the Nebulas technical concepts and vision.
