<summary>Milestone 0: Smart Data Contracts, Vehicle Data NFTs + Tokens and Roles</summary>

* Implement automatic generation of vehicle data NFTs. DriveChain will leverage OceanProtocol's [ERC721Factory](https://github.com/oceanprotocol/contracts/blob/v4main/contracts/ERC721Factory.sol) library for vehicle data producers to hold Base IP. The deployed contract will store Metadata, ownership, sub-license information, and permissions.&#x20;
* Implement Ocean Protocol's [ERC721Template](https://github.com/oceanprotocol/contracts/blob/v4main/contracts/templates/ERC721Template.sol) to enable automatic price discovery with ERC721 tokens. Utlize [ERC1167](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-1167) proxy for vehicle data NFTs and datatokens to save on gas fees.&#x20;
* Integrate Role administration: Data NFT owner, Base IP manager, ERC20 deployer and fee manager.

<summary>Milestone 1: Asset Pricing + Accessibility </summary>

* Integrate revenue asset monetization for fixed and dynamic pricing.
* Port the [FixedRateExchange](https://github.com/oceanprotocol/contracts/blob/v4main/contracts/pools/fixedRate/FixedRateExchange.sol) smart contract to store information about the price of the assets published using the Fixed pricing model.
* Implement Decentralized identifiers (DIDs) to enable verifiable, decentralized digital identity.&#x20;
* Implement DID Document (DDO) to include the metadata about the stored asset and available services.

<summary>Milestone 2: Staking, Visualization, Data Marketplace Analytics FileCoin Storage + FEVM </summary>

* Implement a staking mechanism to incentivize data providers to provide high-quality and valuable data.
* Deploy the Data Marketplace with features for discovering, purchasing, and sharing vehicle data NFTs.
* Develop a suite of analytics and visualization tools for data analysis and exploration.
* Integrate machine learning models to extract insights and patterns from the data.
* Create a user-friendly interface for data exploration and visualization.
* To support their distributed storage network, add mechanisms for storing and sharing Smart Data contracts and assets with FileCoin's protocol.&#x20;
* Add support for InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) for content addressing for vehicle data assets retrieval with Content Addressing via Content-Identifiers (CIDs).&#x20;
* Port InterPlanetary Linked Data (IPLD) data model to ensure data can be linked and referenced from different data structures in a global namespace.
* Support of Libp2p's network protocol stack for P2P networks.
* Future integration of FileCoin's Virtual Machine (FVM) to create Smart Data Contracts with verifiable storage.
