# Earn and roadmap

What builders can earn today, what comes next, and what Robokade won't do. The [Earn](/earn.html) and [Roadmap](/roadmap.html) pages have the current state; the [Terms](/terms.html#earnings) have the rules.

## Today

- **Founding builders:** the builders of the first 50 approved games (one place per account; Robokade's own games don't count) get a badge on their account page and, once tips and item sales exist, a higher share of their own sales: we plan 80% for founding builders and 70% for others, while their account is in good standing. This is a plan, not yet a promise: the exact share and how it is calculated will be set out in payment terms published before any money moves. It would be a share of your own sales only, not an investment. A place can't be transferred and can be withdrawn for abuse (for example a copied or empty game). The [Earn](/earn.html) page shows how many places are left.
- **Bounties:** we sometimes post a wanted game with a fixed prize. Entry is free, from your account page, with one of your submitted games (at most 3 entries per bounty). For adults (18+), not in a sanctioned country, not Robokade staff or their family. Robokade judges and its decision is final. Winners are paid outside the site after an identity, age and tax check; if a winner can't be paid lawfully or doesn't answer within 30 days, we may choose another entry. You keep all rights to your game.
- **Leaderboards** are for fun only: no prizes, rewards or badges.

No money moves on the site today.

## Coming next

Tips from players, fixed-price items builders sell in their games, a share of memberships, and later a marketplace on Chromia. None of these exists yet; we will announce each one before it starts. See the [Roadmap](/roadmap.html).

## What we won't do

- No gambling of any kind: no bets, no paid random items, no jackpots, no paying to enter for prizes.
- No promise that playing earns money. Buying and selling, when it comes, follows the law and age rules (buyers 18+). Items never decide ranked matches or prizes.
