# Roadmap & Vision

This project is designed with a **self-sustaining mechanism** that can operate indefinitely. With the expected continuous growth in player numbers, our long-term vision is for **$ZHU** to become the **central hub** of an expanding Web3 gaming ecosystem.

### Near-Term Goals

1. Expand the game portfolio, with all titles utilizing **$ZHU** as the in-game currency.
2. Onboard external developers to integrate their own games into the ecosystem.
3. Allow partner games to launch their own tokens, **with the condition that these tokens must be paired with $ZHU for liquidity**—positioning $ZHU as the reference asset.

### Long-Term Vision
