The Future of Bonsai: Phases 1-3
</aside>
TL;DR:
The simplest version of Bonsai is Patreon for Web3. That is phase one.
But the roadmap doesn’t stop there. In the future, each business, community, or individual will have the ability to govern their own social application.
Bonsai is a web2/web3 hybrid membership site. You will have the ability to stack other features inspired by Web2 apps such as Masterclass, Shopify, Substack, or Eventbrite.
I want to experiment with different sets of features, and let the community decide which ones should be built. This will help determine which combination of feature stacking has the most demand.
In 2023, the Bonsai grant program will accelerate the experimentation by building MVPs of popular feature sets. These MVPs will become add-on plugins that can be stacked in custom configurations. That is phase two.
Phase three (2024) is when we open the API and start building other applications, starting with an iOS app.
The project will be cut into 3 phases:
