$MUD™ Roadmap
Document for $MUD™ | MUDNFTs™ | MudVerse Game | MUD Treasury Corp
Last Updated: January 1, 2026
Roadmap Principles (How We Build)
What we ship first: working product > hype.
How we protect the ecosystem: capped incentives, phased releases, anti-abuse controls.
How we communicate: public milestones + changelogs as features go live.
What can change: timelines may shift based on security, testing, market conditions, and platform constraints.
Ecosystem Overview (What This Roadmap Covers)
The $MUD brand includes four connected parts:
$MUD™ Token — ecosystem participation + utility layer
MUDNFTs™ — official NFT collections (Pixel Bulldogs and future expansions)
MudVerse Game — NFT-enabled gameplay, progression, seasons
MUD Treasury Corp — the operating entity funding development, operations, and sustainability
