The DATA project was conceived in mid-2017 and launched in the beginning of 2018. After we launched our project, we gained tremendous support from institutional investors, advisors, and all community participants. Here, at the end of Q1 2018, we are very grateful for all the suggestions, supports, and also doubts from the community that have made our project’s goal and operation much better than before. In the rest of 2018 and 2019, our project will hit many upcoming milestones, including marketing and technical developments. We use the trajectory on the roadmap as a fundamental guide, but are devoted to make the progress even faster.
As some of our fans in the community are not very certain about our roadmap or have difficulties in finding it in our white paper, we will update it to the official website in the near future. Here in this article, we want to give you a comprehensive look of our roadmap and help you understand it better.

Overall, the planning in our roadmap is rather conservative, but it guarantees the punctuality of our delivery. We expect our progress to be much faster than that presented in the roadmap. Our goal is to build a large ecosystem and we have to start off from small groups of communities and then grow them into something big and self-sustainable. There is no doubt that we have a long way to go. We hope that, together with our great community, we can move forward step by step and eventually find our position in not only the blockchain world but also the broader society.
