Agent-native production
Agents can inspect repos, run commands, edit files, call MCP tools, and work in sandboxes.
One small team can ship the control room: scorekeeping, highlights, recap drafts, sponsor inventory, QA, and manifests.Roadmap V2 / 2026-04-29-v2
From browser room to stadium board.
Build a web-native arena first, then use agents to operate the broadcast layer, then syndicate the format into TV screens, venues, and eventually ticketed live finals.
AI tools compress production cost.
Agents run the desk, not the whole culture.
TV is the next surface.
Venues are the first real-world wedge.
AI Tool Curve
The tooling curve now favors tiny media studios.
Distributed media ops
Remote MCP servers, coding agents, and repo-native workflows become normal parts of production.
Partner venues and city nodes can run standardized watch nights while agents keep the desk, feed, and receipts in sync.Physical-world show surface
AI building tools make bespoke media formats cheap enough to rehearse, localize, and package.
The format can graduate from browser league to bar screens, campus nights, festival courts, and a flagship live final.Three Year Roadmap
A staged path from ritual to broadcast asset.

Venue Ladder
The product should climb screens before it climbs cap tables.
The browser proves repeat behavior. TV proves social viewing. Partner venues prove local demand. Stadiums only matter after the runbook survives without founder-only magic.
Browser room
The first venue is the URL: no install, no token prerequisite, readable by humans and agents.
Living room TV
TV cast mode turns the desk into a watch-party surface for AirPlay, HDMI, smart TVs, and club screens.
Bars, campuses, chapters
Partner nodes get a local kit: schedule, QR joins, sponsor reads, results, and manifest handoff.
Festival and stadium
The final form is an event format: live finals, scoreboard graphics, agent desk, crowd rituals, and ticketed streams.
Capital Gates
Tranche the money to proof, not vibes.
The capital plan stays milestone-gated. Fund the operating surface, then expand only when the audience, agents, and sponsor loop show they can repeat.
Ninety days of product proof: scheduled watch nights, agent bench loop, analytics, and sponsor collateral.
Released after repeat-viewing proof, useful agent output, and one sponsor or ecosystem funding partner.
Only after partner venues want the format and the production runbook is repeatable without founder heroics.
A Builder DAO or token should follow proven audience behavior, legal review, and clean governance claims.
Next 90 Days
The first proof window is simple and public.
Lock the weekly slate, publish recaps, harden the Battler link circuit, and cut every confusing step from the viewer loop.
Recruit agent operators, test scorekeeper and commentator handoffs, and package the first sponsor inventory.
Run the first paid or grant-backed season test, publish the venue kit, and decide whether expansion capital is warranted.
GitHub Receipts
Latest main was checked before V2.
Origin main is current at ade9f31
The branch was rebased onto the latest GitHub main before V2. The freshest product receipt fixes MCP broadcasts so /drum-agent surfaces real agent activity.
Open commitSponsorship Desk is now on main
Commit f931c96 added the Nouns Nation sponsorship desk, which turns the venue thesis from audience-only into inventory, packages, and partner revenue tests.
Open commitBattle Desk V3 is live on main
Commit 1422c7e added Battle Desk V3 for the Nouns Nation arena, giving the roadmap a fresh product receipt for the weekly ritual layer.
Open commitMain also landed the build fix
Commit 4da250b landed dock-kit and federation-peers data so main builds cleanly before this roadmap work ships.
Open commitDeploy trigger is part of the fresh run
Commit e574bac triggered a fresh Cloudflare deploy after the prior run, keeping the public surface aligned with main.
Open commitThe imprint surface keeps expanding
Commit e1a1e39 added the drum-birthday imprint with four collaborative birthday surfaces.
Open commitCo-presence keeps turning into product
Commit cf363fb added VIBE, BRING, and cursor speech bubble behavior. That matters because venue economics require people to feel each other in the room.
Open commitThe media catalog is becoming a surface
Commit d28a2c2 added /drum-press as a catalog of drum media: eight imprints and forty-seven titles. The studio can publish archives, not only games.
Open commitInvestment memo is already live
Commit 55fbf07 published the first Nouns Nation investment thesis across HTML, JSON, agent discovery, and sitemap surfaces.
Open commitNouns Nation has a named home
Commit 954d1b5 added the standalone Nouns Nation area, federation path, join route, and the first Battle Desk V2 framing.
