- Building new protocol features based on specifications changes including but not limited to bridging, fraud proofing, multidimensional pricing, and improving gas efficiency/economic modelling to increase throughput further
- Building secure and resilient distributed P2P systems
- Maintaining Fuel after the mainnet launch
