# Roadmap (Event-Synchronized, Distribution-First)

The Fight roadmap is built around UFC's fight calendar and progressive feature rollouts that deepen utility, expand distribution, and strengthen the token value loop with each phase.

# Pre-TGE → TGE

During the pre-TGE phase, we publish the full emissions and governance specifications, expand the FightID quest program, and run UFC-tied fight-week funnels that rehearse our acquisition and retention motions. In parallel, we launch fighter ambassador campaigns with clear creative kits, performance SLAs, and FP-based rewards so that athletes and creators can reliably onboard their audiences.

Why this matters: Clear economics and transparent governance reduce uncertainty for partners and users, while fight-week rehearsals prove that our funnels convert mainstream attention into identity claims and repeat engagement.

How value accrues to $FIGHT: Each rehearsal pushes more users through FightID → FP → paid utilities, priming post-TGE demand for staking and entries that generate $FIGHT-denominated fees for the DAO's buyback/burn engine.

# Post-TGE (Near-Term)

Immediately after TGE, staking goes live with FP multipliers and leaderboards so that early adopters see tangible advantages for reputation. We also run the first Prize$Fight bounties to reward standout performances and superfans, and we light up $FIGHT rails for merch and tickets with UFC-adjacent partners where supported. The Partner Ecosystem Access model launches, enabling select projects to burn $FIGHT for FP distribution to the Fight.ID community through quests and campaigns.

Why this matters: Fans get instant, meaningful utility on day one—stake to join fighter communities, earn boosted rewards via FP, and participate in visible prize moments. Projects gain direct access to an authenticated, engaged fanbase, creating immediate demand for $FIGHT.

How value accrues to $FIGHT: Staking locks remove tokens from circulation, community actions create recurring micro-fees, partner burns reduce circulating supply, and commerce rails settle in $FIGHT where available; a share of net revenues flows to the DAO for buybacks/burns and growth programs.

# Q1 2026

We launch Prediction Markets through partnership with a licensed operator, offering fantasy-style, culture-based games synchronized to the UFC calendar. We also expand exchange coverage to improve routing depth and accessibility for new users, and open additional partner surfaces that accept $FIGHT for access, entries, and upgrades. The Partner Ecosystem Access model scales, with more projects burning $FIGHT for FP to incentivize Fight.ID community participation.

Why this matters: Prediction Markets add repeatable engagement loops around weekly cards; partner-operated model ensures compliance and global reach. Broader listings reduce slippage. Growing partner demand for ecosystem access creates sustained burn pressure on circulating supply.

How value accrues to $FIGHT: Prediction market fees settle in $FIGHT and flow to DAO for buybacks/burns; exchange depth supports higher throughput; partner burns directly reduce circulating supply, compounding value accrual as ecosystem scales.

# Q2–Q3 2026

We scale Fighter Communities with dynamic entry pricing and member dividends, deepen perk stacks (AMAs, watch-alongs, club tournaments), and roll out FightGear capsule drops tied to marquee events. FightGear business strategy and prototype merchandise reach consumer testing. In parallel, we add additional league integrations and enable selective multi-chain access where partner distribution requires it—while keeping Solana as the economic hub.

Why this matters: Communities convert casual engagement into durable membership with real skin in the game, and apparel acts as a viral surface that reaches beyond crypto. New league and partner surfaces multiply places where identity, reputation, and ownership matter.

How value accrues to $FIGHT: Community stakes lock supply and generate program fees; FightGear purchases and royalties can be denominated in $FIGHT; new integrations add fresh sinks and revenue-share streams that route back to the DAO for buybacks/burns and ecosystem grants.

# 2027+

We begin the FightHub rollout—an interoperable network of partner apps and leagues that honor FightID, FP, and $FIGHT—and we onboard global fight organizations into the ecosystem. We also experiment with AR/VR fan experiences that use identity and reputation for access and progression. By this stage, the DAO operates a fully matured buyback/burn policy financed by real, diversified revenues. FightGear business model ready for launch with stand-alone P&L as the retail arm of the core digital product business.

Why this matters: FightHub turns our stack into a standard for combat-sports participation, compounding network effects as more partners and fans align on one identity, one reputation system, and one token. FightGear business adds value both in revenue and marketing adoption.

How value accrues to $FIGHT: Each new surface adds utility and fee streams denominated in $FIGHT; the DAO continually converts a share of those flows into reduced circulating supply (burns) and greater utility (grants, liquidity, partnerships), reinforcing token value as the ecosystem scales—card after card, season after season. FightGear phygital business generates profits and serves as social proof for $FIGHT marketing purposes.

# Principles Driving Sequencing

Distribution-first: Leverage UFC fight-week cadence from day one
Identity foundation: Establish FightID before deep token sinks
Governance maturity: Scale DAO operations parallel to utility expansion
Compliance & integrity: Build jurisdictional controls and safeguards early

Target timelines are directional and subject to governance decisions, market conditions, and regulatory requirements.
