Common's 2025-2026 Roadmap: From Community Platform to Autonomous Organizations

Common has grown from crypto roots to become home to over 2.7M addresses, 15K+ tokens launched, and 65K+ communities. We're in a strong position—but much of our crypto functionality remains buried under complexity.

This mirrors a broader problem: while AI agents can automate specific tasks, they lack shared context and struggle with coordination. Communities face similar challenges—powerful tools exist, but they're fragmented across platforms and too complex for most users.

With Common, we're solving both problems on our path to enabling true DAOs. We're building interfaces that let any startup, community, or team chat alongside agents while leveraging crypto for ownership and coordination—all in one place.

Our vision unfolds in three phases:

1. Fly — incentives to surface markets around each community and post to get work done
2. Launch — new plugins, new UIs, and new chains to enable every community
3. Escape — agents that increase leverage for every team

Here's the detailed roadmap:

Phase 1: Fly — Incentives (October 2025)

There's so much work inside a community or team that needs to get done. AI cannot do all of it. Markets put a price on things to enable people to fill in the gaps. We have many markets but we need to surface them.

What We're Shipping:

• Explore & discovery — surface trending coins, agents, and bounties; reward curators because attention creates value, not just capital
• Coin indexing & analytics — real-time data tracking for mints, swaps, rewards; public dashboards. Every coin launched anywhere should have a home on Common
• Coins for every thread — threads can mint, tip, and split to enable immediate action
• Referral & points overlays — reward curators and early contributors without fragmenting liquidity
• Onramp — fiat-to-crypto conversion with gas coverage for first actions; one-tap top-ups
• Prediction market integration — prediction markets drive information discovery; we're integrating them directly into communities
• Beta mobile app — post, mint, tip, swap, and create bounties from your phone; offline signing queue

Result: More actions per user, faster payout loops, and visible economic flywheels that reinforce shipping within each community.

Phase 2: Launch — Plugins & Chains (January 2026)

Common isn't just one interface—it's an ecosystem. We need to enable every use case on any supported chain.

What We're Shipping:

• Plugin SDK for Discourse, Discord, and Farcaster — mint, tip, vote, and create bounties directly from posts and comments
• Multichain adapters — Base first, then Solana/Sui/EVM L2s behind unified protocols for coin launches, rewards, and governance everywhere
• MCP integration (beta) — expose mint/swap/bounty/vote tools to IDEs and agents via Model Context Protocol, making them work seamlessly in common development environments
• Open agent API (MCP-compatible) — agents can mint, vote, post bounties, and manage payouts from IDEs or chat interfaces; portable across major runtimes as MCP adoption grows
• Vertical community apps — the current Common interface isn't optimal for every community type. We'll build specialized apps for different use cases

Result: Lower friction, broader reach across platforms and chains, more funded tasks, more completed work—plus a steady pipeline of new communities through specialized applications.

Phase 3: Escape — Agents & Autonomy (April 2026)

Agents excel at specific tasks but lack shared context. Common will enable specialized agents that leverage our community data to help organizations accomplish more ambitious goals.

What We're Shipping:

• Specialized agents — starting with investing and media use cases
• Shared memory (community learning) — each space maintains long-term context from posts, bounties, decisions, and outcomes so agents can plan toward multi-week and multi-month objectives
• Privacy & budgets — per-space scopes, retention windows, and memory limits to control costs and data exposure
• Guardrails & checks — policy gates, approval workflows, and validation requirements before funds move

Result: 24/7 organizational throughput, reusable agent toolkits, compounding institutional memory, and sustainable value creation for developers and communities.

What This Means for You

• Developers: Fork a starter agent, add API keys, mint your coin, get paid on successful deployment
• Entrepreneurs & traders: Launch a coin, integrate bots and bounties, let markets fund computation and reward supporters
• Communities: Keep discussion, funding, and delivery unified—eliminate tool sprawl

The End Goal

As these phases compound, Common becomes the index of innovation, enabling truly autonomous organizations. If we succeed, one person should be able to build a billion-dollar organization leveraging Common's agents and markets.

The next cycle rewards builders who turn ideas into income in real-time. Launch your coin, plug in agents, and ship.
