# Roadmap

Where Trade Clash is now, what's next, and where it's going.

***

## Phase 1: Sandbox (Current)

The core game, free to play.

* Full multiplayer auction: 3 streets, 7 positions, first-place wins, reveal
* Globe as game surface with region-to-category mapping
* WorldMonitor-style prediction market dashboard homepage
* House-curated lots from live prediction market data
* 15+ lots in active rotation
* Game dollars — zero financial risk
* Leaderboard ranked by cumulative P\&L
* Weekly $SIM rewards for top leaderboard players

**Goal**: Does a player who finishes one lot start a second?

***

## Phase 2: Real Money + Player Lots

Skill becomes currency.

* $SIM and USDC rooms alongside free sandbox
* Player-created lots: select 7 positions, set payout range, stake $SIM or USDC
* Two-sided skill game: creating lots + bidding on lots
* Creator profit when bidders overpay, creator loss when they get a deal
* Persistent player accounts and cross-session leaderboard
* Tournament system
* Deeper Polymarket API integration with direct market browsing
* On-chain settlement on Base

**Goal**: Do players talk about the game after playing?

***

## Phase 3: Marketplace

The full platform.

* Creator competition, ratings, and featured lots
* Auto-generated lots from trending markets
* Spectator mode and streaming
* Mobile app
* Platform rake on transactions

**Goal**: Can we sustain 50+ lots that feel distinct?

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://serotolabs.gitbook.io/tradeclash/about-trade-clash/roadmap.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
