Note: This roadmap fits directly in with the Legion Activation Plan Discussed here.

• NEAR Merch Store: The V1 of the Merch store will feature the capacity to order Merch from anywhere in the world using NEAR Intents. It will also enable community requested designs to be featured on the merch store. This is a product controlled and managed in-house by our team. In later versions we will attempt to decentralized the merch creation process such that different items can be bid on by different stores.

  • V1 Delivery: January 5th, 2026.
  • What does this unlock? Ecosystem wide merch available for any NEAR community and Legion members anywhere in the world. Merch deliveries for in-person events, and Merch design to be opened up to the broader ecosystem of artists.

• NEAR Native Payments & Off-Chain Computation: Through Q4 2025, we're formalizing community-built payment and computation prototypes into production-ready & adopted solutions. Key implementations include Ricky’s NEAR-Native x402 (HTTP 402 payment protocol, with potential upstream contributions to the Coinbase package), OutLayer (pay-per-request off-chain computation framework), and PingPay (payment processor). Through bounties and builder support, we're helping to standardize these solutions, evangelize builders to adopt them, and enable new product use cases including integration into the NEAR Merch Store.

  • Ongoing through Q4 2025. V1 Expected in early Q1.
  • What does this unlock? NEAR Native payment processing for intents based products. Production ready payment infrastructure for NEAR Intents, Agentic transactions, and integrations with non-crypto sources of payment.

• NEAR Enterprise Stablecoin Solution Architecture: Currently working with the institutions team (Konrad and Matt) to design and evaluate the feasibility of a Proof of Concept. This solution would scope the capacity of NEAR, NEAR Intents and other supporting infrastructure to support enterprise level stable coin deployment on NEAR using NEAR Intents. The solution is ideally both customizable for various enterprise stable coin use cases, and generic to the extent that it is compatible with a number of other partners and solutions providers.

  • Definitive PoC Clarity: Q4, 2025.
  • What does this unlock? Enterprise stablecoin deployment on NEAR, NEAR Intents, and support infrastructure for the benefit of NEAR Adoption and further financial integration with NEAR Intents.

• PROTOCOL AR Game: A Pokemon-Go style Augmented Reality game (AR) from which two different global factions mine portals for tokens, buy items, seek to expand their dominance against one another. In parallel the hunt for clues and treasure brings in lucrative rewards for those willing to travel in hunt for loot.

  • V1 Expected in Q2 2026.
  • What does this unlock? This is a global activation of the NEAR community in a first-of-its kind game that traverses the physical world. Real rewards hidden insight areas of the world will help engage the NEAR community and activate users to join a faction and participate in the NEAR Ecosystem.

• Degen Arena: DegenArena.gg is a Casino powered by NEAR — where anyone can bridge their tokens, play degen-style games, earn leaderboard rewards, spin the daily wheel, and join a global lottery system that fuels the entire platform. It’s the first gaming arena designed to recycle and amplify meme tokens on NEAR through incentives, randomness, and gamified staking.

  • V1 Q4 2025.
  • What does this unlock? While not officially owned by the BuilderOps team, the Degen Arena will bring basic a basic prediction market to the NEAR ecosystem, as well as a number of casino-like products for community members and users to leverage in their pursuit of success on NEAR (Legion and Beyond).

• Gated and Monetized Fine-Tuning Product: A retail and degen focused product leveraging NEAR Cloud to enable an individual or team to fine-tune a model to provide niche expertise or capacity from which that model is gated and monetized on NEAR (with or without its own native token). The product includes a scheme to include decentralized data storage for fine-tuning on different models the same body of data, a DAO infrastructure for providing access to fine-tuning with others (collaboratively), and supervised fine-tuning such that contributors can directly see the impact of their training data on the model. This product is made for centralized teams, and only leverages TEE infra for licensing the model after it has been sufficiently fine-tuned into a product offering.

  • V1 Late Q1 2026.
  • What does this unlock? Intelligence Capital Markets on NEAR. Open-source monetization of the capacity to create cutting edge fine-tuned LLMs for real world applications and for crypto activities.
