Back to collectionJanuary closes with a chain framework and open connections
During January, the team chose Arbitrum One as the settlement base chain and began working through the interface with the game team. January closed with BTC above USD 23,000, up about 40 percent for the month; the chain’s basic framework had also taken shape. The market had shifted from the chill of early January toward optimism, and the internal question had moved from whether to build a chain to how its parts would connect.

During January, the team chose Arbitrum One as the settlement base chain and began working through the interface with the game team. By month’s end, engineering had a framework it could continue building on, though the budget and the order of the technical tracks were still under discussion.
January closed with BTC above USD 23,000, up about 40 percent for the month; the chain’s basic framework had also taken shape. Looking back, the project team understood that framework to mean its direction and main parts were taking shape, not that players could already use it. The game team wanted to know when it could connect, while engineering carried the unfinished interfaces and validation work into February.
The market had shifted from the chill of early January toward optimism, and the internal question had moved from whether to build a chain to how its parts would connect. Both changes added urgency, but neither replaced testing. In February, the cross-chain bridge and sequencer would require sustained work.
