ROADMAP

A project's roadmap is more than a list of features; it is a narrative of progress and a promise to the community. It tells the story of the project's growth, from initial conception to a fully decentralized, player-owned world. CoPperClicker's evolution is structured in four distinct phases, each with a clear thematic goal, creating a sense of momentum and demonstrating a long-term strategic vision.

Phase 1 (Q4 2023): Project Genesis & Foundation

The establishment of the core principles and community.

• [✓] Whitepaper v1.0 Release: Publication of this foundational document outlining the project's vision, mechanics, and tokenomics.

• [✓] Community Launch: Creation of the official Discord, Twitter, and Telegram channels to begin building the core community.

• [ ] Core Game Engine Development: Development of the off-chain client and server infrastructure for the clicker game.

• [ ] Private Funding Round: Securing strategic partnerships and early-stage funding to accelerate development.

• [ ] Smart Contract Initial Development: Writing the first versions of the CPC token and NFT contracts.

Phase 2 (Q1 2024): The Click-Off - Public Launch

The launch of the token and the core game experience.

• [ ] Smart Contract Audits: Completion of multiple independent security audits for all launch-critical contracts.

• [ ] Token Generation Event (TGE): The official creation of the CPC token supply.

• [ ] Public Sale (IDO): An Initial DEX Offering to ensure fair and widespread distribution of the CPC token.

• [ ] Initial Exchange Listings: Securing liquidity pools on a major DEX (e.g., Uniswap, Sushiswap) and pursuing listings on reputable CEXs.

• [ ] Public Beta Launch: The CoPperClicker game becomes publicly available, allowing users to begin clicking and earning CPC.

Phase 3 (Q2-Q3 2024): Economic Expansion

Building the layers of the player-owned economy.

• [ ] In-Game Marketplace Launch: Deployment of the marketplace where players can spend CPC on automated tappers and other upgrades.

• [ ] NFT Minting Launch: Introduction of the "Golden Cursor" NFT minting functionality.

• [ ] Secondary Marketplace Integration: Partnering with a leading NFT marketplace (e.g., OpenSea, Blur) to enable peer-to-peer trading of Golden Cursors.

• [ ] Season 1 Launch: The start of the first competitive season with leaderboards and CPC/NFT prize pools.

• [ ] CPC Staking Implementation: Launch of the staking contract, allowing users to stake CPC for yield.

Phase 4 (Q4 2024 ->): Decentralization & The Living Economy

The transition to a fully community-owned and governed ecosystem.

• [ ] CoPperClicker DAO Formation: Establishing the legal and technical framework for the decentralized autonomous organization.

• [ ] Launch of Governance Proposals: Enabling staked CPC holders to create and vote on the first community proposals.

• [ ] Treasury Control Handover: Gradually transferring control of the Community Treasury from the core team to the DAO.

• [ ] Advanced Economic Features: Exploration and implementation of new economic sinks and faucets, a secondary utility token for specific actions (e.g., NFT repairs) to further fine-tune the economic balance.

• [ ] Ecosystem Expansion: Using the Ecosystem Fund to incubate third-party developers building new experiences and tools on top of the CoPperClicker platform.

This roadmap culminates in the project's ultimate goal: creating a self-sustaining, ever-evolving digital nation governed by its players.
