ELASTIC// THE FORGE

ROADMAP

The NFT contract is finished and can't be changed. Everything below is built around it, and it's paid for by the token's own trading fees, not by new mints or a team wallet.

the flywheel
  1. 01

    $ELASTIC trades on Pons

  2. 02

    Creator fees → public treasury

  3. 03

    Pit prizes + Ascended drop + buybacks

  4. 04

    Reason to hold a bigger bag, longer

  5. ↺

    More trading

Levels are what make it spin. A relic's rewards depend on the level it held, and levels come from the bag. So the way to earn more is to buy up to the next level and stay there, not to farm and dump.

  1. 00

    SPARK

    live

    The relic itself. It's drawn by the contract and follows the holder's bag in both directions.

  2. 01

    CODEX + PIT

    live

    Something to read and something to do. Duels run on the website, so they're free, instant and shareable.

  3. 02

    TREASURY

    next

    The creator fees from every $ELASTIC trade on Pons go to one public wallet. Every inflow and every payout is on-chain and shown here.

    • › Live treasury page: fees in, prizes out, buybacks, all linked to transactions
    • › Fixed split, published before the first payout: Pit prizes · Ascended drop · buybacks
    • › No team allocation from the fee stream
  4. 03

    PAID PIT

    next

    Weekly seasons with a real prize pool from the treasury. The top of the duel ladder gets paid in ETH at the end of each season.

    • › Ranked ladder, seeded matchups, results replayable from their links
    • › Season level = the lowest level you held all season. A bag borrowed for a day doesn't count
    • › Payouts scale with season level, so bigger bags held longer win more
    • › Champions get a permanent badge on their relic page
  5. 04

    RUMBLE

    next

    A royale on the duel engine. Every relic is dropped into one seeded bracket each season, and the last 16 are paid from the Pit pool.

    • › The whole bracket can be scrolled as a replay, and every relic gets a card showing who knocked it out
    • › Element counters decide the upsets. Dormant relics sit out
  6. 05

    RUN

    later

    A daily runner with one seeded course for everyone, and your sprite is the character. It's the one game where skill counts for more than the bag.

    • › Shape sets how you move: Wisp floats, Ship boosts, Critter climbs, Totem smashes, Mask phases
    • › Eyes set how far ahead you see, build sets how many hits you can take
    • › Level gives extra lives, and your L3–L5 effects carry into the game
  7. 06

    ASCENDED DROP

    later

    Every season, part of the treasury goes to relics that held their level from start to finish. It's weighted by level, so L5 takes the biggest share. Dormant relics get nothing.

    • › Snapshot of each relic's lowest level through the season
    • › Weight rises with level: going up a level is worth more than just buying more tokens
    • › Can be claimed by whoever holds the relic when the drop lands, so relics trade on it
  8. 07

    DELVE

    later

    A co-op raid through a seeded dungeon for a party of five holders. Shape is your class, and a party with all five shapes gets a bonus.

    • › Totem tanks, Wisp heals, Ship scouts, Mask reflects traps, Critter deals damage
    • › Palette resists matching room hazards, eyes find secret rooms, headgear is a one-time key
    • › Broken relics can see glitch doors. Level sets the deepest floor you can enter
  9. 08

    SPONSORED SEASONS

    later

    Other Robinhood Chain projects pay into the prize pool to get in front of proven holders. Outside money flows into the Pit and out to relics.

    • › A sponsor's token gets added to that season's prizes and drop
    • › Themed seasons, e.g. only Heat-element relics or only Broken relics
  10. 09

    ELEMENT WARS

    maybe

    Heat, Cold, Toxic and Void are teams fighting over a weekly map. Each team's push counts the levels its relics held, not their peak.

    • › The winning element takes a bigger share of that season's Ascended Drop
  11. 10

    CONSTELLATIONS

    maybe

    The seven L5 backdrops count as sets. A party with different Ascensions gets a bonus, so the rare backdrops are useful as well as good-looking.

    • › Halo (1 in 16) is the wildcard
  12. 11

    RIFT

    maybe

    An on-chain arena contract that reads ElasticNFT, with optional stakes on duels. A small house cut goes back to the treasury, which closes the loop. The NFT itself never changes.

    • › Only once the Paid Pit has proven people want it

Rewards depend on trading fees and are paid out on a best-effort basis. Nothing here is a promise of returns.
