# Development Phases

The development of the CRT ecosystem is structured in progressive phases to ensure scalability, user engagement, and functional stability. The initial focus is on building a robust and accessible foundation through a Telegram Mini-App (TMA), which acts as the entry point for user interaction, story submissions, and AI-based content generation.

**Phase 1 – Infrastructure & TMA Development (Q1–Q2 2025)**

* Smart contract architecture design and audit
* Token deployment on Binance Smart Chain (CRT)
* Scenario submission framework integration
* AI engine base model training for text analysis
* **TMA development begins**, focused on submission, voting, and point-reward mechanisms
* Internal testing for functionality and scalability

**Phase 2 – Beta Launch & User Testing (Q2 2025)**

* **Telegram Mini-App (TMA) development completed in Q2**
* Closed beta test launched with selected early users and creators
* AI scenario adaptation tests in live user environment
* Feedback collection on UX/UI, AI accuracy, and reward flow
* Smart contract-based reward system activated
* Marketing pre-launch campaigns begin

**Phase 3 – Public Launch & Ecosystem Expansion (Q3–Q4 2025)**

* Open beta launch for global users
* Full integration of Create to Earn (C2E) model
* Strategic partnerships with creative communities and production studios
* Onboarding of early brand sponsors and content buyers
* Governance module testing (community voting on story funding)
* Platform analytics and iterative AI model upgrades

**Phase 4 – Full Commercialization (2026 and beyond)**

* Revenue-sharing payouts to contributors via CRT tokens
* Expansion into additional platforms beyond Telegram (web & mobile app)
* Creator DAO structure and full decentralization of platform governance
* Monetization of AI services (API model for 3rd-party creators)
