Dawn of Machines releases 4-year roadmap

Dawn of Machines has published a four-year roadmap outlining how the project plans to develop over the next three and a half years, with a focus on token distribution, digital land ownership, governance and community participation.

The roadmap introduces a seven epoch emission model and centres on four digital assets with different roles across the platform. DOM is designed as the primary utility asset for gameplay and platform activities, while BIC represents digital land ownership. Certs are limited digital certificates created by using DOM, and CTRL is planned as a governance layer that would become available once the circulating supply of DOM falls to around 25 per cent.

According to the project, DOM and BIC each have a maximum supply of one million units, while Certs and CTRL are each limited to 10,000.

The roadmap is divided into four phases. The current phase focuses on distributing DOM and BIC to users. Later stages include expanding community features, introducing secondary trading for BIC districts, enabling governance through CTRL and moving towards a model where land ownership and community participation play a larger role after much of the DOM supply has been used.

The project says the roadmap reflects its current development plans rather than fixed commitments, with features, sequencing and timelines potentially changing as work progresses.

One of the key themes in the roadmap is the gradual transition from distribution towards participation and governance. As the later epochs unfold, the emphasis shifts from acquiring assets to using them within a broader community-driven model.

Alongside the roadmap, Dawn of Machines has also launched a redesigned website. The updated site presents the project under four sections: Play, Own, Earn and Learn, and introduces a simpler structure for new and existing users.

The new website includes a streamlined onboarding process that allows users to claim a BIC district from a mobile phone and standardises the presentation of supply data across the site, including DOM mined, DOM removed from circulation and circulating supply. The project says the changes are intended to make the platform easier to navigate while supporting the longer-term roadmap it has now outlined.
