This roadmap describes intent, not commitments. Dates are targets. Features listed as planned or exploratory may change, ship late, or not ship at all. Nothing here is a promise.

Phase 0: Foundation

Status: complete The platform works end to end on BNB Smart Chain mainnet. This was the hard part.

Contracts live

Credit token, Generation, and Marketplace deployed and verified on mainnet.

Gasless for every user

ERC-4337 smart accounts. Claim, generate, list, buy, and sell without paying gas.

AI generation

Fast diffusion inference with provider fallback and output verification.

Marketplace and prompts

Atomic settlement, the 95/5 split, resale, and prompts as standalone assets.
Payment verification reads directly from chain. Ownership is recorded against a smart account the user alone controls. The fee split is enforced in contract code, not policy.

Phase 1: Public launch

Target: July 2026 Opening the platform, in order.
1

Closed testing

Internal and invited users exercise the full flow on mainnet. Bugs found here are cheaper than bugs found later.
2

Public interface

The web app goes live. Anyone can connect, claim free credits, and generate.
3

Mobile wallet support

Gasless support for wallet connections beyond browser extensions.

Phase 2: TGE

Target: July 2026 The transition from free credits to a real token.

What changes

Where the credit comes from. Free distribution ends.

What does not change

10 per generation. 95/5 split. Gasless actions. Prompts as assets.
Platform credits earned before TGE do not convert into the NEA token. There is no allocation, no airdrop entitlement, and no conversion path. See NEA.
Vesting contracts for team, treasury, and advisor allocations are deployed and publicly verifiable before any token is distributed.

Phase 3: After TGE

Target: Q3 to Q4 2026 The obvious gaps in what exists today, in the order they matter.

On-chain ownership tokens

Exploring ERC-721 representation for images, so ownership is a token and not a record.

Creator royalties

Exploring a royalty on secondary sales, so original creators earn when their work resells.

Chain indexing

A full event indexer, so the interface never shows a listing the chain has already closed.

Creator profiles

Portfolios, follows, and a reason to come back.

Phase 4: Beyond

No dates NewEra starts with images because that is where AI creation is most alive. The model underneath it is not about images.

More formats

The creative surfaces AI opens next, on the same ownership and settlement rails.

Open marketplace

Public APIs and integrations, so NewEra is infrastructure rather than a destination.
The goal is not to build a better AI art site. It is to make the ownership question boring, so creators can go back to making things.

What we will not do

Stating this is as useful as stating the roadmap.
  • No staking, no yield, no rewards for holding. NEA is spent, not farmed.
  • No presale. Anyone offering one is running a scam.
  • No changes to the 95/5 split. It is in a deployed contract. Changing it means deploying a new one, in public.
  • No custody of user assets. We cannot move your credits or your work, and we are not building the ability to.
  • No claim of a security audit. The contracts have not been audited by a third party. They are verified, which is not the same thing.
Platform credits are free credits for using NewEra during pre-launch. They have no monetary value and cannot be withdrawn or exchanged for money outside the platform. Nothing on this page is a promise of features, timelines, value, or returns.
