### A Note on Roadmap Honesty <a href="#a-note-on-roadmap-honesty" id="a-note-on-roadmap-honesty"></a>

Web3 roadmaps frequently overpromise. Hero Arena Play's commitment is the opposite: **only items that have a credible delivery plan and dedicated headcount are listed**. We will publish quarterly progress updates regardless of whether items shipped, slipped, or were de-scoped. Investors and players deserve to see how plans actually unfold versus how they were originally drawn.
