The introduction is good. I don't think any of what you have in 'future work' is a bad idea. But it seems to contain some things I did not realise we had committed to, so feels a bit like 'road-mapping by appending to readme'. Perhaps this belongs in a roadmap RFC so we can all input.

README.md Outdated
- **(Q2) Advanced security framework:** Functionality preceding Monax’s Nightsky (see multi-chain universe continuation below) to enable global encryption of transactions, genesis files and account storage at rest.
- **(Q2) Identity Management and Whitelisting:** write protection is inherent to the permissioning scheme but read protection will be enabled by integrating certificates for restricting connectivity access to the peer-to-peer network for validators, verifiers or light clients. This is in addition to normal VPN and firewall solutions and a precursor of Monax’s Nightsky, which restricts read-access through selective decryption.
- **(Q3) Multi-chain Universe (Step 2 of 3):** The second step towards enabling the multi-chain universe is well-underway with the Tendermint Cosmos proposal for interblockchain communication.
- **(Q3) Multi-chain Universe (Step 3 of 3):** The third and final step is the Monax’s Nightsky proposal for inherent encryption of transactions and allowing only partial reconstruction of the smart contract application state for verifiers or light clients (for mobile or IoT devices). Together Cosmos and Nightsky allow smart contracts to orchestrate where information flows and who has the ability to decypher what part of the data.
