Our Roadmap:

•Stage 1 (Completed): We successfully filled our OG and WL roles (85%) through strategic partnerships, giveaways, engaging games, and fostering a strong community spirit. 

•Stage 2 (Ongoing): We're continuously expanding our team, nurturing community engagement, and organically growing our presence on Twitter and Discord. This stage also involves pre-mint development to establish compelling value propositions for Creed NFT holders (60% complete).

•Stage 3 (Ongoing): We've finalized collaborations with exciting partners and are currently announcing them to the community (Previously Stage 4). We remain open to exploring additional strategic partnerships that benefit our community.

•Stage 4 (Upcoming): The official mint date will be announced soon (To be determined). 

•Stage 5 (Upcoming): Post-mint roadmap details will be unveiled, with a strong emphasis on dApp development:

    •IVSS Development (Identity Verification & Security System) (30% of Grant Allocation): We'll focus on building the core technology powering the Creed NFt and subsequently,  SeinergydotFi. This system will enhance security and trust within the DeFi ecosystem by verifying user shared zero-knowledge proof identities, mitigating bad actors.
   • Secure Escrow System (20% of Grant Allocation): Developing a secure escrow system will be crucial for facilitating safe peer-to-peer transactions within our NFT marketplace and future DeFi applications.

    NFT Market Analysis & Curation Tool (10% of Grant Allocation):

 Building an NFT market analysis and curation tool will empower Creed NFT holders to make informed investment decisions and discover valuable NFT opportunities.

•Stage 6 (Target): We aim to achieve a complete sell-out of the Creed collection and secure a listing on a reputable exchange. Secure holder verification will be implemented using our existing UFO bot within the server.

•Stage 7 (Ongoing):Detailed roadmaps for each development area will be released, building upon the initial outlines in Stage 5. We'll showcase completed phases and continuously update our website for improvement.

•Stage 8 (Future): Upon successful completion of the core dApps, we'll shift focus to the full development and launch of SeinergydotFi, the DeFi platform integrating the IVSS system. 

•SeinergydotFi Development on Hold (Transparency)

The development of SeinergydotFi, initially planned as StakeSynergy, is currently paused due to unforeseen circumstances surrounding the founder of a previous affiliation. We prioritize the success of The Creed NFT project to ensure a strong foundation for the future DeFi platform. We remain committed to the long-term vision of SeinergydotFi and will resume development when possible considering we already have a whitepaper documented.

Grant Utilization:

If awarded the Gitcoin grant, the funds will be strategically allocated to accelerate our progress and achieve key milestones within the proposed timeline:

• Community Building (15%): Resources will be directed towards hosting engaging community events, rewarding active members who participate in partnership announcements, and expanding our reach through targeted marketing efforts.

• Art & Development (60%): A significant portion of the grant will compensate the creation of high-quality NFT artwork and the development of innovative dApps including the IVSS, secure escrow system, and NFT market analysis tool.

• Team Support (20%): A portion of the grant will be used to compensate and retain skilled team members who are crucial for project execution.

•Marketing & Outreach (5%): We'll leverage the grant to amplify marketing efforts strategically, focusing on securing partnerships that align with our dApp development goals. 

By effectively utilizing the Gitcoin grant, we're confident in achieving our roadmap milestones efficiently and delivering a truly valuable NFT experience with long-term utility for The Creed community.
