🗺️Roadmap

Phase 1: Launch & Foundation (Solana Genesis)

• Deploy core contracts and token infrastructure on Solana

Launch initial smart contracts for content attribution, $ART token ledger, and basic role-based access controls on the Solana blockchain. Ensure EVM compatibility and scalability considerations are embedded from the start.

• Launch Artisan Studio (Prompt-to-Content Engine)

Release the initial web interface enabling users to input prompts and generate images using curated base models. Studio serves as the primary creation frontend linked to user wallets.

• Enable Basic On-Chain Attribution & Ownership Tagging

Every content output is hashed, time-stamped, and stored with wallet-based authorship metadata. Implement minimal viable authorship proofs and asset tagging smart contracts.

• Open Access to Early Creator Cohort & Seed Models

Onboard selected early users, artists, and AI builders. Allow them to upload and test models, set pricing, and populate the first round of creator-driven vaults and galleries.

Phase 2: Creator Economy Kickoff

• Release Vault-Based Encrypted Storage for Content Assets

Integrate decentralized storage (e.g., IPFS with encryption, zkVaults) to allow users to manage public/private content visibility and embed access rights directly into storage logic.

• Launch Initial $ART Reward Pool for Creators & Model Usage

Distribute protocol-subsidized $ART emissions to early creators based on usage signals such as content impressions, remix propagation, and model inference frequency.

• Activate Public Creator Profiles & Collectible Publishing

Roll out wallet-bound, on-chain creator identity pages featuring authored content, usage stats, remix lineage, and tokenized collectibles.

• Introduce Social Remixing Features with Licensing Enforcement

Enable users to fork or remix content under opt-in licensing templates, with automated royalties and attribution enforced through smart contract rules.

Phase 3: AI Model Marketplace & Incentives

• Launch Modular AI Framework & Composable Execution UI

Allow developers to register modular AI functions, plug-in models, and create node-based execution graphs for chained inference logic across modalities.

• Enable Model Monetization & Licensing Options via $ART

Let model owners define usage pricing, licensing tiers, and remix allowances using protocol-standard templates — all enforced via on-chain token payments.

• Roll Out Model Engagement Mining & Performance Payouts

Deploy reward mechanisms that distribute $ART to model owners based on inference volume, remix rates, and feedback metrics — incentivizing open, high-quality model sharing.

• Curated Discovery Hub for Trending Models & Content Drops

Launch a dynamic frontend interface ranking models and content via curation signals, staking input, remix trees, and token-weighted interactions.

Phase 4: Ecosystem Expansion & Governance

• Transition to DAO-Driven Proposal & Voting System

Formalize DAO structure, enabling staked $ART holders to submit, debate, and vote on protocol upgrades, incentive flows, and platform rules.

• Deploy Multichain Model Bridges (EVM ↔ Solana)

Allow models and content authored on Solana to be linked, bridged, or deployed across EVM-compatible chains to enable cross-chain remixing and licensing.

• Integrate with Web2 & Web3 Frontends (Farcaster, Lens, etc.)

Embed ArtisanAI content generation and vault access into third-party platforms and apps — expanding content reach while preserving authorship.

• Expand into New Formats (Video, 3D, Sound) & Community Grants

Extend model execution to include audio, video, and 3D assets. Launch grant programs to incentivize new creator collectives and experimental content primitives.
