The Future of NEM NIS1. NIS1 and 2021 | Medium

Normally, a project like NIS1 would be put through a traditional development lifecycle — but the catch with blockchain protocols is that they never really sunset. As long as two nodes remain, a chain will continue in perpetuity. With a vibrant community and a host of applications that are in use today, it’s our responsibility to ensure NIS1 is held to the same quality and standard that we’ve become known for with Symbol.

With that in mind, I wanted to share with the community our ‘plan of attack’ to refresh NIS1. For the first quarter of 2021 (and then some), NEM Software, with the Community’s help, will be exploring and addressing the needs for NIS1 in four different ways.
