SIP005: Fusion Finale

Summary

Fusion Finale proposes a controlled, time-bound programme to wind down and retire the Fused Hound Fusion mechanics, allowing the community to determine the final number of Fused Hounds through voluntary participation within a defined timeframe.

This SIP:

  • Brings the Fusion lifecycle to a clear and intentional close

  • Preserves community choice in determining the final supply

  • Winds down Fusion Materials and Fusion infrastructure

  • Removes long-term maintenance and ecosystem complexity

  • Earmark unminted Megas and Legendaries for Serum Corp to mint and distribute through Jail Break and Hostage Exchange.

The outcome is a clean, community-driven end-state for Fusion and a simplified asset landscape.

Opportunity

Fusion has been one of the most engaging mechanics in MCW history. However, it was never intended to remain open perpetually.

Fusion Finale creates value by:

  • Allowing the community to decide the final Fused Hound supply organically

  • Preserving the original Fusion experience without forced outcomes

  • Preventing ongoing fragmentation of Fusion Materials

  • Retiring aging smart contracts and UI flows

  • Avoiding overlap with new onboarding, branding, or Jailbreak initiatives

Fusion Finale Objective

  • Fusion Finale defines a final opportunity window for Fusion

  • The final number of Fused Hounds is not predetermined

  • Supply is determined solely by completed Fusions during the active window

  • Fusion is formally designated as a completed system after sunset

Proposed Mechanics & Timeline

1. Mechanics and infrastructure (Month 1)

Mechanics and infrastructure developed and launched by Novel Labs

2. Final Fusion Window (Months 2-4)

A 3-month Final Fusion Window opens upon SIP approval.

During this period:

  • Existing Fusion mechanics remain active

  • Existing Fusion Materials may be used normally

  • Participation is entirely voluntary

This window preserves player agency and respects prior investment.

3. Mega and Legendary minting (Conclusion of Month 4)

Serum Corp actions:

  • Mint the remaining Mega and Legendary Fused Hounds

  • Hold in the stockpile collection until released via Jail Break or Hostage Exchange

4. Fusion Material Wind-Down & Burn Phase (Months 5-7)

Following the Final Fusion Window, a 3-month wind-down phase begins.

During this phase:

  • Fusion Materials no longer have Fusion utility

  • Hounds may no longer be burned for Fusing Materials

  • Holders may voluntarily burn Fusion Materials

  • Burned materials are exchanged for $SERUM

  • Burn rates are:

    • Defined and capped by Serum Corp

    • Published before activation

No forced burning occurs. Unused materials simply expire after sunset.

5. Fusion System Sunset (Past Month 7)

At the conclusion of the wind-down phase:

  • Fusion smart contracts are disabled

  • Fusion-related UI and services are retired

  • Fusion Materials have no remaining utility

  • Fusion is preserved as a completed historical system

Post-Finale State

After Fusion Finale concludes:

  • The final Fused Hound supply is community-determined

  • Fusion Materials are deprecated

  • Fusion infrastructure is fully retired

  • Future MCW initiatives operate without Fusion dependencies

  • Collars may still be burned for Mutant Hounds

Fusion remains a closed chapter, not a lingering mechanic.

Funding & Treasury Impact

  • Any $SERUM issued via Fusion Material burns is:

    • Capped

    • Governed by Serum Corp

    • Published in advance

  • No external funding is required

  • No ongoing operational costs remain post-sunset

Net effect:

  • Asset simplification

  • Reduced technical overhead

  • Clear $SERUM alignment without inflation shock

Success Metrics

Fusion Finale is successful if:

  • Fusion participation concludes cleanly within the timeframe

  • Fusion Materials are materially reduced and retired

  • Fusion contracts and UI are fully sunset

  • No ongoing confusion or support burden remains

  • The community understands Fusion as complete
