Taking part in the roadmap
This page is for partners who want to influence what is built next.
What is published
- The community roadmap at https://exponential.earth/about/roadmap (read 18 October 2026) describes the community channels (Telegram, forums, GitHub, Slack, Discord) and invites people to "track development progress, report issues, request features, and contribute". It does not list dated product features.
- What has been built is published in detail: the changelogs in
doc/changelogs/and the history indoc/eng-us/history/(The history of Exponential). - A dated product roadmap with commitments is not published: to be defined by the Foundation.
