## TFGrid High Level Roadmap

### Status Today

The core offering is functioning effectively, maintained through a community-driven, best-effort approach. Currently, 
there are no Service Level Agreements (SLAs) in place, and there should be increased visibility for users regarding their expectations for uptime, 
performance, and other service related requirements.

The uptime and stability of Zero-OS are very good. 

Additionally, hardware compatibility is excellent, with most machines now supported out of the box.

### Planned new features:

Considerable effort is being made to enable our partners to go into production; 
however, for this initiative to truly succeed on planetary level, we need many more nodes deployed in the field.

Below you can find some of the planned features of TFGrid 4.0 mainly to achieve ability to scale to hundred of thousand of nodes.
