Roadmap
Relic Run is a browser-based extraction roguelike with a Risk2Earn, peer-to-pool economy. Players risk Keys, collect Relics, push deeper for higher multipliers, and either extract to bank rewards or die and lose unbanked run value. Gameplay is server-authoritative; smart contracts handle Keys, escrow, settlement, claims, and NFT ownership.
Staged and safety-gated. No profit, ROI, yield, or guaranteed payouts are promised. Mainnet real-money features come only after testnet validation.
1
Alpha — Working Core Game
In progress- Core dungeon run loop is playable: enter a run, collect Relics, extract, or die.
- Deterministic, replayable game logic — every run can be re-simulated from its seed.
- Basic dashboard, admin, and economy foundation exist.
- No real-money public launch yet.
2
Beta — Smart Contract Integrations
Planned- Testnet smart contracts for Keys, escrow, and settlement.
- Key purchase and redemption flow on testnet.
- Epoch escrow and settlement, with Merkle claim flow.
- Public economy dashboard connected to settlement data.
- Wallet login and contract-connected UX.
- Testnet-first validation before any mainnet real money.
3
Founder NFT Mint
Planned- Founder NFT as early-supporter identity — not a pay-to-win item.
- Holder benefits: access, status, profile badge, cosmetic recognition, community role, and possible allowlist perks.
- NFT ownership can be checked in-app for holder-only recognition and features.
- No payout promises, no direct gameplay advantage, no boosted odds.
4
First Sponsored Pool
Planned- A reward pool funded by the project or a sponsor — not user-funded risk.
- Players compete through normal runs.
- Rewards distributed through the existing settlement system.
- Used to test gameplay, anti-cheat, claims, the dashboard, and retention before any larger launch.
5
Complete Beta
Planned- Full beta game loop with timed run mode and non-timed / practice mode.
- Better progression, run results, leaderboards, and onboarding.
- Founder NFT holder recognition integrated.
- Economy dashboard and settlement UX polished.
6
Closed Mainnet Beta
Future · gated- Real USDC only when explicitly approved — not a public launch.
- Invite-only and capped, with small risk limits.
- Pausable contracts, admin safety controls, a dispute window, and monitoring.
- Proceeds only after testnet validation and safety checks pass.
7
Full Risk2Earn RPG Expansion
Future- Long-term expansion: larger dungeons, more classes, more roguelike systems and modes.
- Seasonal pools and expanded progression.
- Only after beta proves gameplay, settlement integrity, security, and retention.
How to read this
Each stage is a gate, not a launch date. We move forward only when the previous stage is stable, verified, and safe. Real money on mainnet is the last gated step — not the starting point.
