### **Roadmap:**

* **Phase 1: Pilot Launch (gen/acc 0.5)**  
  * **Timeline:** Immediate (within 4-6 Weeks)  
  * Pilot Launch (gen/acc 0.5) \- Initiating with a small group of 15 participants (who will work in a controlled environment unlike the proposed main project) to refine our process and gather initial feedback.  
  * **Commitment to Long-term Impact:** The pilot phase will allow us to refine our approach, ensuring that we provide an impactful and scalable solution to foster a culture of building in the web3 space.  
* **Phase 2: Expansion of Generation Accelerator**  
  * **Timeline:** 2-4 months  
  * **Deliverables:**  
    * Scale the program to more participants and regions, with a focus on youth from underrepresented areas.  
    * Shift to remote participation, allowing for broader inclusion and global reach.  
    * Continue refining the Idea Pool and enhance the mentorship program based on pilot feedback.  
    * Launch a full Quadratic Funding (QF) round on the mainnet, ensuring projects receive funding based on community-driven allocations.  
  * **Commitment to Long-term Impact:** Expanding the program will grow the pool of builders contributing to decentralised solutions, fostering a global community aligned with Octant’s principles of decentralised innovation and growth.  
* **Phase 3: Global Integration and Partnerships**  
  * **Timeline:** TBD  
  * **Deliverables:**  
    * Establish partnerships with other DAOs, web3 organizations, and educational institutions worldwide.  
    * Integrate global youth participants, creating a truly international cohort of builders.  
    * Expand the Quadratic Funding model to increase the scale and diversity of funded projects.  
    * Host large-scale online and offline events to further engage youth in building and contributing to the web3 public goods ecosystem.  
  * **Commitment to Long-term Impact:** By partnering with other entities and engaging a global community, we will create a broader network of builders and resources that will continually feed into the Octant ecosystem, promoting sustained growth.  
* **Phase 4: Long-term Sustainability and Governance**  
  * **Timeline:** TBD  
  * **Deliverables:**  
    * Develop a sustainable, decentralised governance model that empowers participants to manage future gen/acc projects.  
    * Implement community-driven contributions to maintain funding for projects and support a self-sustaining model.  
    * Create long-term partnerships to provide continuous mentorship, funding, and opportunities for participants.  
  * **Commitment to Long-term Impact:** The establishment of a decentralised governance and funding model will ensure the longevity of the program, while continuously contributing new builders and projects to the Octant ecosystem.
