 1  # AIcolony
 2  
 3  AIcolony is a distributed agent management system built with Go, featuring secure communication via ZeroMQ and efficient data storage with BadgerDB. This repository follows a structured branch organization with feature branches that will be integrated into the develop branch and finally merged to master upon reaching v1.0.0.
 4  
 5  > **IMPORTANT NOTE:**  
 6  > The master branch will remain minimal until v1.0.0 stable release.  
 7  > Current development happens in feature branches integrated through the develop branch.  
 8  > See roadmap below for planned feature timeline.
