Zoe Roadmap

Zoe v0.18.1. Last updated 2021-09-13.

Here's a number of features that we are planning to add in the near future to Zoe, in response to user feedback.

1. Support "multiples" in proposals. Multiples are a way of expressing partial fulfillment of offers without having to deal with the problem of division. For instance, we may want to buy 100 shares of stock for 10 dollars each, and if we can't buy 100 shares, we're happy with as much as we can get. We want to be able to encode this kind of offer more succinctly than having to make 100 separate offers.
2. Support "disjuncts" in proposals. By disjuncts, we mean allowing compound offers in which we want exactly one of them to be accepted. For instance, we might want to find a good weekend activity and we're ok with buying a ticket to the museum or the concert, but not both because they will happen at the same time.
3. Separate Zoe into two layers. One layer, doing the escrowing and actually holding the assets, is in a different Vat than the other layer, which runs a contract instance.
