The Foundry roadmap is not intended to be a list of promises with arbitrary dates attached to them. The project is being built in stages, and each stage should earn the right to support the next one. Some systems are already working, some are being hardened now, and others remain longer-term ideas that should only be pursued if they become useful.
For that reason, this roadmap is organized by development state rather than by quarter: what has been completed or proven, what is being built now, what comes next, and what may become possible later. As priorities change, the roadmap should change with them rather than pretending an old schedule is more important than what we learn while building.
Completed / Proven
Foundation & Working Systems
The first stage of The Foundry has been about proving that the individual pieces can actually work. Some of these systems will continue to change, but the underlying functionality has already been built and tested.
Public Foundry platform
The main Foundry site is live with a public front door, account system, community-facing navigation and connected areas for learning, discovery, play, NFTs and commerce.
Foundry Library, Signal & Forge_GPT
The educational Library, Foundry Signal, Early Signal Alerts and plain-English Forge_GPT guidance are operating as the learning and research side of the ecosystem. Creator Discovery and Creator History add deeper wallet-level context for repeat launches and prior project behavior.
Forge Play & Arcade
The Foundry has working game and competition experiences, including Forge Play, arcade systems and Crypto Runner, with player activity and reward systems continuing to evolve.
Membership & participation foundation
Member records, participation events, XP, achievements, verified wallets and the permanent TF membership crest are working as the foundation for the reputation system. A privacy-minimized Member Operations dashboard now gives admins a filtered view of member state and actionable system issues without exposing unnecessary personal data.
Foundry Passport Devnet progression
The evolving Foundry Passport is working on Solana Devnet with real member pilots. Verified Keys can be attested on-chain and progress the same Passport through UNFORGED, FORGED, TEMPERED and MASTERWORK artwork. Roles are displayed separately from stage progression, and Mainnet Passport activation remains paused.
Solana membership NFT proof
A Metaplex Core membership NFT was tested on Solana Devnet. This remains a historical technical proof. Universal membership now uses the TF logo crest and signed wallet verification; no membership NFT mint is required.
Foundry NFT Devnet mint proof
An early Foundry NFT test completed a successful Devnet buyer mint, including wallet approval, payment handling, randomized reveal and on-chain verification. That test is now archived as technical proof rather than an active collection.
Store & fulfillment proof
The storefront and print-on-demand fulfillment workflow have been connected and tested through a real order flow, establishing the first commerce path inside The Foundry.
Building Now
Refine, Connect & Prepare
The current stage is less about adding as many new features as possible and more about strengthening what already exists, connecting the pieces and preparing the parts that are not yet ready for broader use.
$TF pre-launch: target 11 December 2026
$TF has not launched. Token payouts and buybacks are not active. Our current target is 11 December 2026, subject to technical readiness and community growth. We are targeting 200 active Foundry members before launch rather than using registrations alone as the measure. If the community or operating systems are not ready, the launch can move. Members can continue earning XP through available verified activities while we prepare.
One membership, TF crest and verified wallet
Keep the TF crest as the permanent universal membership badge, retain existing member numbers and XP, and add Wallet Verified after signed ownership verification. The separate Foundry Passport evolves with verified Keys and Roles on Devnet; members do not need to buy or mint a membership collectible to participate.
XP reward schedule and verification
Implement 25 reward levels, 100 XP per step and a 2.5% personal ceiling. Connect verified game sessions and milestones; retain duplicate protection, daily limits and reviewed contribution workflows.
Public Share Pool preparation
Configure dedicated public treasury and distribution addresses, publish the official $TF mint and creator-fee allocation, reconcile 2% of settled store profits, and test reserves, payout retries and burn verification.
$TF tokenomics modeling
Use the published pre-launch framework to model final supply, allocation percentages, liquidity, contributor vesting, Share Pool reserves and treasury runway across approximately 200, 1,000, 5,000 and 25,000 active members. The current 1,000,000,000 $TF supply is a working model, not a final commitment.
Foundry NFT project & art library
David and Dime are rebuilding the NFT workflow around separate project folders and artist-created asset libraries. Dealer, Scout, Warden or other concepts can be developed independently before any one project is selected for a Mainnet collection.
Future NFT mint readiness
The Devnet mint engine has been technically proven, but no active collection is being prepared for public sale today. Mint readiness will resume only after a specific NFT project and final artwork are approved.
Documentation kept current with the build
The Thesis, Roadmap and Whitepaper are maintained alongside the product so the public documents reflect the working Passport system, current research tools, community-growth targets, the proposed $TF tokenomics framework and the difference between Devnet, Mainnet and planned functionality.
Passport expansion & Mainnet readiness
Continue controlled Devnet Passport activation across eligible members, validate additional Key paths and the MASTERWORK transition, harden automatic verification and publishing, and keep Mainnet activation paused until the system and community are ready for broader use.
Discovery, creator history & trading tools
Continue improving Signal freshness, Creator Discovery and Creator History, token analysis, market charts, portfolio tools and wallet-approved transaction flows so users can move from a signal into deeper investigation without losing context.
Community growth toward 200 active members
The current launch-readiness target is 200 active Foundry members, not simply 200 registered accounts. The focus is attracting people who return, learn, test, play, contribute and help improve the ecosystem. Community growth is a major factor in the 11 December 2026 $TF target date.
Next
Launch, Measure & Improve
The next stage begins when the systems currently being hardened are ready to move beyond internal development. The emphasis will be on controlled launches, observing how people actually use the platform and improving from real behavior rather than assumptions.
Funded reward activation
Rewards can activate only after the official $TF launch, community and technical readiness, a verified token mint and working swap route, tested distribution controls, and at least 5 SOL in available reward funding AFTER the SOL operating reserve. The current community target is 200 active members. The 5 SOL requirement is a one-time starting threshold; later 20-minute cycles can use smaller balances when execution is economical.
20-minute distribution checks
After activation, preserve operating SOL, snapshot eligible XP and pay capped proportional $TF allocations. Under the current proposed remainder model, 20% of the eligible remainder after confirmed member allocations is used for buyback and actual supply-reducing burn while 80% rolls forward in the Share Pool. Defer uneconomical cycles and retain failed payouts for delivery. Publish deposits, payouts, burns and reserve balances.
First Foundry NFT Mainnet launch
After a specific NFT project is selected and its artwork, metadata, wallet testing and Mainnet configuration are approved, that project can move into a controlled public mint. No project name or supply is committed yet.
Expanded achievements & reputation
More verified activities can be connected to achievements, XP and member history, with clear rules for what earns recognition and how that history appears to the member.
Broader Passport roles & contribution history
Extend the working Passport beyond the first Key progression pilots so recognized Roles, contribution history, education and additional verified activity can become a clearer member record without turning every ordinary action into an on-chain transaction.
Stronger research & signal tools
Discovery and signal systems can continue to improve around source quality, scam awareness, project context, creator information and the ability to move from a market signal into deeper research.
Additional Forge Play experiences
Games and challenges can expand where they add real entertainment and community value, while existing games continue to receive difficulty, control and reward improvements.
Community contribution workflows
Research, testing, educational material, ideas, artwork and other useful contributions can be given clearer submission, review and recognition paths inside The Foundry.
Longer-Term Direction
A Community That Can Build
The longer-term roadmap is intentionally less specific. The Foundry is still early, and it would be misleading to present distant ideas as guaranteed products. These are directions worth exploring if the earlier stages prove useful and the community grows around them.
Scalable achievement assets
High-volume achievements may eventually use compressed NFTs or similar scalable blockchain technology when there is a real reason for an achievement to exist outside the application database.
Deeper reputation systems
A mature Foundry reputation model could make verified participation and contribution more useful across projects, events, collaboration and member opportunities.
Community-built projects
The Foundry may become a place where members do more than use tools. Teams could form around ideas, experiments and projects that originate from people inside the community.
Creator & project collaboration
If participation grows, The Foundry can explore better ways for creators, researchers, developers, artists and project teams to find one another and work together.
Expanded commerce & member benefits
Commerce, collectibles, merchandise, partnerships and member benefits may expand where they create sustainable value without turning every part of the platform into a transaction.
Additional blockchain integrations
Other chains or protocols should only be added when they solve a real user problem. Expansion for its own sake is not the objective.
Governance when it is justified
Formal community governance should come only when there is a community large and active enough for governance to mean something. The Foundry does not need to manufacture decentralization before the participation exists.
