Roadmap
Backd is building toward one thing: the place people open before they back anything, anywhere. Every market worth backing, the sharpest people on it, your record beside theirs, and the money in your own wallet. This page is the order we are building it in.
The aim
Prediction markets have the sharpest odds there are and the loneliest product around them. Backd keeps the odds (they are Polymarket's, at the same price) and builds the people part: a feed, Back and Fade, crews, records nobody can edit, and soon the routing, the insight and the rewards that make one app better than any single market. The order below is deliberate: prove the money loop with a small group, open the doors with the social loop switched on in full, then make Backd the place you check first.
Now: private beta
Real money, real markets, a small group, every rough edge found.
- Invited testers back calls with real money through Polymarket
- Combos, Swipe, crews, chat, live match centres and rounds in daily use
- Every fill verified against Polymarket before it goes on a record
- Referral links and ranks accruing from the first call
- The club crests, odds formats and league feeds polished from tester feedback
Next: open launch
The doors open, the people part switches on in full.
- Open sign-ups with invite codes from existing members
- Referral shares and rank rebates paid out, once legal sign-off is in
- One-tap orders and real-money combos, the day Polymarket enables them for Backd
- The BACKD token and the flywheel, after legal review, with the public ledger
- Push and email alerts: settlements, fades, the callers you follow
- A real feed as the home screen: what the people you follow just backed, one tap to Back or Fade
Later: the platform
The place you check before you back anything, anywhere.
- Boosted XP seasons and events with leaderboards of their own
- More prediction markets behind one record, with every call routed to the best odds across them
- AI insight on every market: the data around a call, the edge or the caution, for token holders
- Limit orders and switch-side in one tap
- Card deposits straight into your own wallet
- Position-level sharing: a slip that updates live and opens the market on your side
- Crew leagues, challenges end to end, weekly Wrapped for every crew
- A write API so bots and creators can build on Backd records
How this list works
Things move up when they are built and proven, and some will be reordered as testers tell us what matters. Anything that pays people, gates a feature to token holders or touches a new market needs legal sign-off in the countries involved before it ships, so those items wait on counsel, not only on code. Dates are not given on purpose. The what's real right now page is the honest status of today; the flywheel is how the token ties in; and the What's new list on the docs home is where each item appears the day it lands.
