🚀 Looking Ahead to 2024: A Year of Transformation

The year 2024 marks a pivotal era of innovation for the Telos Network, beginning with a dynamic start in Q1. We unveil our ambitious Scalable Proof Protocol whitepaper and expand our team, setting the stage for a year filled with groundbreaking developments. Our commitment to enhancing scalability and privacy takes center stage in Q3 with the debut of our first application, leading to the exciting Q4 launch of the Scalable & Privacy-Enabled ZK SPP V1.

Parallel to these developments, the Telos zkEVM Gaming Chain, or K2-18, is poised for significant evolution. The initial months of 2024 will see the unveiling of K2-18's branding and whitepaper, a move designed to deepen user engagement. This momentum continues into Q2 with the introduction of dedicated websites for Tekika (our upcoming flagship NFT collection) and K2-18, further enriching the user experience. The third quarter promises the unveiling of the MVP and innovative bridging capabilities. This crescendo builds into Q4, where we will expand the utility layer enhancing the Telos gaming experience.

Complementing these advancements, our EVM + ZERO initiative will undergo substantial progress. The integration of OFT Standards into our bridge in Q1 marks a critical step forward in our network's interoperability. This is followed by a significant network upgrade in Q2 with the launch of the OBE API and the advanced EVM 2.0.

In essence, 2024 is set to be a transformative year for Telos, each quarter unfolding new chapters of growth and technological excellence, solidifying our stance as a leader in the blockchain arena.
