// ROADMAP · PHASES, NOT DATES

No timeline.
Just the next thing.

bitsLAND ships in phases. Each one is a discrete release; the next starts only when the previous is stable. No promised dates, because the contracts are immutable and we would rather get it right than ship to a calendar.

5 phases launch to legacy ship when ready
01
PHASE 01 live at launch

Genesis

Contracts deploy to Ethereum mainnet: BitsLand, BitsCore, BitsPolicy. Mint opens. The first 200 mints become Founders. The web client is live and the game is fully playable.

  • Mint: free first per wallet, 0.001 ETH paid after.
  • 50 buildings in the catalog, six rarity axes for Genesis traits.
  • Animated, isometric, fully on-chain SVG rendering.
  • Tick / place / repair / demolish / name / motto / visit all functional.
02
PHASE 02 after sell-out / 6 months

Resonance

Read-only utilities that ride on top of the game state without changing it:

  • Leaderboard contract that indexes plots by Level, Prestige, visits, achievements.
  • Bulk-action helper: tick + place + repair across multiple plots in one transaction.
  • Composer contract that mints a "City Plate" NFT summarizing the plots a wallet owns.
03
PHASE 03 community-paced

Echoes

The 50-building catalog is locked, but the visual variants per building can grow: new pixel art for buildings already in the catalog, opt-in by plot owner. Variant data lives in a new contract that BitsLand can read.

  • Plot owners can pick a variant for any placed building.
  • Variants render through tokenURI without changing game math.
  • Pure aesthetic; no rebalance needed.
04
PHASE 04 when worth it

Seasons

Time-bounded global events. The deployer can schedule a "Season" by setting a start/end block range on BitsPolicy. During a Season, a specific Climate or Aura is favored, and matching plots get a visible Season banner in their SVG for the duration.

  • Seasons are read-only adjustments; they tweak parameters, not state.
  • The schedule is on-chain; everyone sees the same season.
  • Plot owners can claim a Season achievement if they participated.
05
PHASE 05 sell-out + 1 year

Legacy

The deployer renounces BitsPolicy ownership. The contracts become fully immutable. No more parameter changes. The game becomes a permanent artifact on Ethereum.

  • BitsPolicy ownership renounced.
  • Treasury rotated to a multi-sig held by long-term holders (highest combined Level + Prestige).
  • No upgrades. No migrations. The game runs as long as Ethereum does.

Phase 01 is shipping.

The next phase happens when phase 01 is stable.
