**Q2 Roadmap: Testing and Integration**

1. Alpha Testing of Privacy Protocol:
   * In Q2, the X-Network team will launch the alpha version of the privacy protocol on a testnet for internal testing and review.
   * Feedback from the community and team members will be collected to identify and address potential issues.
2. PrivacyX Wallet Development:
   * The team will develop the PrivacyX wallet, which will seamlessly integrate with X-Network and offer user-friendly access to privacy features.
   * Integration with popular Ethereum wallets will also be explored for broader adoption.
3. Beta Testing and Bug Bounty Program:
   * The beta version of X-Network will be released to a select group of users for extensive testing.
   * A bug bounty program will be launched to encourage external developers and security experts to identify and report potential vulnerabilities.
4. Collaboration and Partnerships:
   * In Q2, X-Network will actively seek partnerships with DApps, exchanges, and other blockchain projects to expand its ecosystem and user base.

**Q3 Roadmap: Mainnet Launch and Adoption**

1. Mainnet Launch:
   * In Q3, X-Network will deploy its privacy protocol on the Ethereum mainnet, marking the official launch of the platform.
   * Users will be able to access and use X-Network tokens with enhanced privacy features.
2. Marketing and Awareness Campaign:
