The Frascati F-Factory DAFNE has been delivering luminosity to the KLOE, DEAR and FINUDA experiments since year 2000. Since April 2004 the KLOE run has been resumed and recently peak luminosity of 1.0x1032 cm-2s-1 and integrated luminosity of 6.2 pb-1/day have been achieved. The scientific program of the three high-energy experiments sharing DAFNE operation will be completed approximately by the end of year 2006. A scientific program for DAFNE beyond that date has not been defined yet and it is matter of discussion in the high-energy physics and accelerator physics communities. In this paper we present some future scenarios for DAFNE, discussing the expected ultimate performances of the machine as it is now and addressing the design for an energy and/or luminosity upgrade. The options presented in the following are not exhaustive and they are intended to give a glance of what is doable using the existing infrastructures.
