THE ROADMAP · UPDATED 1 NOVEMBER 2026

Where the Pond goes next.

Crypto news. Market tools. Royal opinions.

A place to understand crypto, question the hype, try ideas and enjoy building something together. AI Bumpy is live on the website and in Telegram. Markets, reader accounts, Pond Wallet and Royal Receipts form the working foundation.

Next comes PondLab: private practice experiments with clear rules and honest results. Longer term, we want to investigate turning an eligible Pond basket into one backed token that other people could hold and trade.

The proposed stages

  1. LIVE · IMPROVING

    A dependable crypto home

    Improve the news, market explanations, Bumpy conversations, accounts and user-confirmed wallet flows. From 2 November, illustrate only the strongest headline in each drop and reuse it for X and the eligible Telegram relay; supporting stories remain text-led.

  2. NEXT · PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT

    Give an idea a Pond

    Test a basket of tokens with visible rules, practice runs, fair comparisons and a record of what changed. Help people understand the result and learn from one another. The public PondLab page is coming soon; public experiments and real-money baskets are not open.

  3. EXPLORING

    Useful roles for $ROYALBUMPY

    Investigate optional tools, service payments or fee benefits, creator tips and funded contributions. No token benefits or thresholds are set. News and ordinary community participation stay open to non-holders.

  4. LONGER-TERM RESEARCH

    One Pond. One possible token.

    Explore minting an eligible Pond basket or index into a single backed token that others could hold and trade. Define actual backing, custody, fees, creator powers, share accounting and redemption first. A transferable token does not guarantee a liquid market.

  5. BEFORE EXPANSION

    Evidence earns the next stage

    User testing, a written specification, funding, applicable legal review, independent security review and tested exits must support any real-money basket pilot. Compare established protocols, a narrow custom design and keeping experiments non-tokenised.
