# Protocols specifications

The overall strategy is to implement the prototype in roughly two phases:

* Esential: implementing an MVP of the prototype (DFC), to showcase the potential of the project and help raise additional funds.
* Target : the full implementation of the prototype (DFC). It will complete phase 1 to enable industrialization and professionalization of the standard through improvement of the tools, of the technical architecture, and of the possibilities of integration with external actors.
