The source is not decoration
Ryūjin governs the tide rather than guarding a hoard. That relationship, transactional and reverent at once, is the spine of the project and the reason a holder is described as holding a claim rather than a creature.
Vision
RYUGAMI is the first piece of the roadmap, not the whole of it.
Most collections mint, post a roadmap, then go quiet by the second month. Everything we build on Robinhood Chain after this points back at the dragon you are holding, which is the part that makes it worth holding.
We are a studio first and a collection second.
666 hand-drawn dragon gods, one fixed supply, minted in full and closed. Holding one earns you standing inside everything that comes next, and that standing rises on its own while the dragon sits in your wallet.
What we owe holders is narrow and checkable: finished art, published mechanics that are fixed before mint, and a story that keeps its voice for years rather than a cycle.
The art is why you will want one. The position is why you will keep it.
Principles
Craft before cadence
The base and every trait layer are drawn by hand before a line of contract code exists. If the art is not finished, the mint waits. We would rather be late than thin.
A gate, not a funnel
Holding a dragon earns standing that decides your place in everything built next, including the 65% of every future drop spoken for before it is announced.
Where the tide goes next
The roadmap runs across several collections.
RYUGAMI is the one that carries holder rights forward into all of them. That single sentence is the whole strategy.
- Q2 2026Done
The idea takes shape
The base dragon is built by hand, the trait layers are decided, and the first plates are drawn.
- Q3 2026Done
Mint and reveal
Minted on Robinhood Chain and listed on OpenSea. Staking, tenure, early access and partner routing switch on as their contracts ship, each announced on the day it opens.
- Q4 2026Next
The collection settles in
First giveaways out of the team reserve, first partner whitelist swaps routed by Ryu Score, and the earliest holders clear their first tenure steps.
- Q1 2027Planned
Partners in depth
Allocations negotiated into other Robinhood Chain collections and handed to holders by standing, alongside the first merch run drawn from the same plates.
- Q2 2027Planned
The second work
The next collection from the studio, with 40% of it reserved for RYUGAMI holders before anyone else sees it. Founding holders are around 270 days in by then, roughly half of the tenure ceiling.
Q2 2027 is where this estimate ends rather than where the roadmap does. We publish a quarter once we can stand behind the detail in it, which is why the table stops there and keeps going afterward.
What we stand behind
Every project this cycle quotes you a number.
We would rather hand you the mechanics. The supply, the house weights, the tenure curve and its ceiling, and the ordering rules are all published and fixed before mint.
One base, extended rather than replaced
The dragon you hold keeps its standing as new work lands. New collections sit beside it and answer to it, which is what the 40% holder reserve is for.
Reciprocal partnerships, not paid reach
Distribution here comes from trading real allocations with real communities on this chain. That is slower and does not spike, and it keeps running long after a budget would have ended.
Mechanics settled before the mint, not after
Rates by house, the tenure curve and the share of every future drop were published while anyone could still walk away, and they hold whatever the calendar does. Each one switches on as its contract ships.
The team reserve works for holders
Dragons held back at mint go out as giveaways, collab prizes and rewards for people who show up. Every release from the reserve is announced before it moves, so you see it leave.
The art and the rules are what we sell. What a dragon trades for afterward is set by the market, the same as it is everywhere else. Ryu Score is standing, a measure of your position inside RYUGAMI. Robinhood Chain is a public network and we describe it as infrastructure, which is what it is.
