🗺️ROADMAP

Phase 1: Concept and Foundation (Q3 2025 - Q1 2026)

Objective: Establish the project’s core framework and build community trust Milestones:

Whitepaper Release: Publish a detailed whitepaper outlining the project’s vision. Community Building: Launch Discord, Telegram, and X channels to engage early adopters, similar to Solana’s community-driven approach. Testnet Alpha: Launch an alpha version on Solana’s testnet, allowing players to test basic mechanics. NFT Concept Art: Reveal initial NFT designs for in-game assets. Launch Coin: Coin will be launched on Pump.fun. Deliverables: Whitepaper, initial website, social media presence, Coin, and a public GitHub repository for transparency.

Phase 2: Development (Q2 2026 - Q3 2026)

Objective: Develop core gameplay. Milestones:

Core Game Development: Build an open-world environment with dynamic heist missions (e.g., bank raids, art thefts). Implement NFT-based assets: (vehicles, tools, safehouses) as SPL tokens, tradable on marketplaces. Develop a play-to-earn system where players earn $HEIST tokens through missions, staking, or PvP heist competitions.

Phase 3: Mainnet Launch and Ecosystem Integration (Q4 2026 - Q1 2027)

Objective: Launch the full game and integrate with the broader ecosystem. Milestones:

NFT Marketplace: Launch an in-game marketplace for trading NFT assets. Game Modes: Introduce PvP heist battles, cooperative missions, and a story-driven campaign set in Solana Beach’s cityscape. Deliverables: Live game, NFT marketplace.

Phase 4: Expansion and Community Governance (Q1 2027 - Q2 2027)

Objective: Expand gameplay features and empower the community. Milestones:

New Content: Add new heist missions, map expansions, and rare NFT drops (e.g., legendary safehouses), leveraging Solana’s scalability for large-scale updates. DAO Governance: Introduce a $HEIST token-based DAO for community-driven decisions (e.g., new mission types, reward structures), inspired by Star Atlas’s DAO model. Analytics Dashboard: Launch a real-time analytics platform for tracking NFT rarity and $HEIST staking rewards, similar to Solana Beach’s planned analytics tools.

Global Tournaments: Host global PvP heist tournaments with $HEIST and NFT prizes, boosting player retention and engagement. Deliverables: Expanded game content, mobile app, DAO framework, and analytics dashboard.

Phase 5: Long-Term Growth and Innovation (2027 Onward)

Objective: Ensure sustainability and push technological boundaries. Milestones:

AI-Driven Heists: Integrate AI to create dynamic, adaptive heist missions, enhancing replayability. Sustainability Focus: Optimize energy efficiency to align with Solana’s low-energy proof-of-stake model, addressing environmental concerns. Deliverables: AI-enhanced gameplay.

Please consider that these priorities may change due to factors like significant traction, breakthrough research, or community feedback. Additionally, these are our best projections but are subject to potential disruptions. Crypto Heist is a cutting-edge game using unfinished, risky, and highly experimental technology.
