DSUP · § 13

Phases

Three phases — SPECIMEN, SURVIVAL, COLONY — spanning roughly fifteen weeks from mint to a working incubator.

Phase 1 — SPECIMEN (~3 weeks) Contracts, TBA + seed loot table, three-state machine, vault, dual-pool distributor, state-reactive art, terminal, $DSUP launch, mint.

Phase 2 — SURVIVAL (+4 weeks) Extinction events, survivor marks, loans against hydrated specimens, public distribution ledger, analytics.

Phase 3 — COLONY (+8 weeks) Incubator, specimen governance, $DSUP liquidity pairing for launched projects.

The ordering is load-bearing, not just chronological: SURVIVAL depends on the state machine and distributor from SPECIMEN having run long enough under real stakes to trust the RNG and payout accounting in DsupEvents.sol (§7, §11), and COLONY depends on SURVIVAL and SPECIMEN together having produced a treasury worth voting over (§9). Fifteen weeks total is the plan, not a promise — see §14 for what happens to the schedule if fee volume undershoots.

DSUP is an experimental on-chain protocol. Distributions are rewards-program airdrops funded by protocol fee revenue — not corporate dividends, equity ownership, or shareholder rights. Token-bound account contents are controlled by the specimen owner and may be withdrawn or lose value at any time. Nothing here is financial advice.
