Roadmap

Launch first, then build in the open

$ROYAL is live, the browser game is open to holders, and the Barrel Royale contracts are on Robinhood Chain. Next comes the rig mint, then on-chain gameplay and XOM claims in stages, each behind a public checkpoint.

  1. Before launch

    Done

    Foundation

    • Game loop and XOM reward model
    • Website, docs and litepaper
    • Playable browser prototype
    • Treasury and reward vault rules published

  2. Phase 1

    Done

    Whitelist and community

    • Whitelist open, with referral ranks and three tiers
    • Browser game built: pressure and choke, refinery, Dispatch contracts, storm brace
