Official Roadmap

CRYPTAN

A living document — updated as milestones are reached.

Phase 1 — Foundation
✓ Completed
Phase 2 — Token Escrow Infrastructure ✓ Completed

The $CRYPTAN token goes live and every wager room upgrades to a fully on-chain, trustless SPL escrow — no middlemen, no custodians.

🪙 $CRYPTAN Token Wager Rooms

A parallel SPL-token escrow track built directly into the existing Anchor program — same trustless security model as SOL, purpose-built for $CRYPTAN.

On-Chain Program Vault

Deposited $CRYPTAN tokens are held in a PDA-owned token account controlled exclusively by the Anchor program. The server's private key cannot move these funds.

Lower House Fee — 5%

Token lobbies charge 5% house fee vs 10% for SOL — rewarding holders who use native $CRYPTAN for wagers.

token_deposit from Phantom

Players sign the token_deposit instruction directly from Phantom — funds move player ATA → program vault in a single transaction.

On-Chain Payout & Cancel

token_finalize distributes from the vault to the winner's ATA. token_cancel issues full refunds to all players. Both verified by the program.

🛡 token_emergency_refund — Trustless Escape Hatch

Mirrors the SOL track: after 24 hours with no finalize or cancel, any deposited player can call token_emergency_refund themselves from any Solana client — no server required, no middleman, full refund.

Phase 3 — Tournaments & Promotional Content In Progress

Tournaments are complete — the competitive infrastructure is live and battle-tested. Now focused on capturing that energy: recording and editing a promotional gameplay video and shaping the marketing strategy ahead of the $CRYPTAN public launch.

🏆 Cryptan Official Tournaments ✓ COMPLETED

Admin-hosted, free-to-enter competitive events with real $CRYPTAN prize pools. Built for symmetry — no bracket byes, no luck-of-the-draw wasted rounds.

Format & Capacities

Hard-capped at 32 or 64 players for perfectly symmetrical brackets. Registration is first-come, first-served. No partial brackets, ever.

Bracket Progression

Early Rounds: Single-elimination; 1st place advances. In 32-cap events, top 2 advance from semifinals. Seeding reshuffled each round.

The Finals — Best of 3

Final 4 play 3 full games. Points: 1st(4p), 2nd(3p), 3rd(2p), 4th(1p). Tiebreaker: Head-to-Head record, then Sudden Death game.

Prizes & Entry

Free entry during Beta. Prize pools funded by the platform in $CRYPTAN. Distribution: 50% / 25% / 15% / 10% for top 4.

🔌 Anti-Griefing & Disconnects

If a player disconnects mid-tournament game, they have 3 minutes to reconnect. On failure, a bot permanently takes their seat, they receive 0 points, and the tournament continues without interruption. There are no replays, no delays, no exceptions.

🎬 Promotional Video & Marketing Strategies IN PROGRESS

With tournaments wrapped, the focus shifts to showcasing Cryptan to the world. A high-quality promotional video featuring real gameplay is in production — paired with a marketing strategy designed to drive player acquisition ahead of the $CRYPTAN public launch.

🎮 Gameplay Highlight Reel

Recording and editing gameplay footage — showcasing the full Cryptan experience to hook new players at a glance.

🎞️ Video Production

Professional editing pass with pacing, music, and on-screen callouts. Goal: a punchy, shareable promo that works across X and TikTok.

📣 Community & Social Strategy

Building a pre-launch presence — X, Discord, Telegram growth, teaser drops, and community engagement campaigns timed to generate buzz before the token goes live.

🚀 Pre-Launch Hype Pipeline

Coordinated rollout plan: teaser clips → full promo video → community challenge → $CRYPTAN launch announcement. Each step designed to build anticipation and grow the player base organically before Phase 4's token event.

Phase 4 — $CRYPTAN Launch & Ecosystem Expansion Upcoming

The $CRYPTAN token goes public — then the platform scales from a game into a full ecosystem: ranked matchmaking, guild infrastructure, mobile reach, and community governance.

🚀 $CRYPTAN Public Launch Strategy LAUNCH - EXPECTED BETWEEN 5 - 7 JUNE

The official step-by-step path from token generation to full market visibility. The same mint address used internally for Phase 2 wager rooms becomes publicly tradeable — no new contract, no migration.

1️⃣ Launch

Deploying on the pump.fun bonding curve with 2 SOL initial backing. Fair launch, no pre-sale, no VC allocation. Anyone can buy from the first block.

2️⃣ Same Mint, Live Day One

The mint address configured in Phase 2's escrow is identical to the public token. No migration needed — token wager rooms activate the moment trading opens.

3️⃣ The Burn

Upon completing the curve, 100% of the supply is burned except for a tiny $500 operational wallet reserved for immediate growth needs.(DexScreener+Marketing)

4️⃣ DexScreener

$300 immediately goes to paying for DexScreener Enhanced Info to get us trending and fully visible across the ecosystem.

5️⃣ Marketing

$200 allocated specifically for a strategic marketing push to capitalize on the launch momentum.

Community Allocation

A portion of supply reserved for retroactive airdrops to beta testers, high-karma players, and early tournament participants.

Immediate Utility

$CRYPTAN is spendable on wager rooms (5% fee), tournament entry fees and more in a near update.

⛓️ Smart Contract Mainnet Deployment POST-LAUNCH

Following the $CRYPTAN public launch, the Anchor smart contracts program will be deployed to Solana mainnet — upgrading the platform from devnet infrastructure to a fully production-grade, on-chain escrow system.

🚀 Mainnet Program Deploy

The Anchor escrow program — currently battle-tested on devnet — will be deployed to Solana mainnet, enabling fully trustless on-chain wagers and payouts at production scale.

🔒 Full Trustless Escrow

All SOL and $CRYPTAN wager rooms will be backed by the live mainnet program. The server's private key will have zero ability to move funds unilaterally — enforced entirely by the on-chain program.

🛡 Emergency Refund — Live

The emergency_refund and token_emergency_refund instructions go live on mainnet — giving every player a trustless, 24-hour escape hatch with no server involvement required.

📋 Deployment Timeline

Mainnet deployment is scheduled shortly after the $CRYPTAN public launch, once sufficient SOL is available to cover program deployment costs. The transition will be seamless — same mint address, same escrow logic, upgraded from devnet to mainnet with full continuity.
