As April began, the team was still preparing an unannounced chain project; neither the public wording nor the release date had been settled. After an eventful March, the community was quick to notice any hint about a gaming chain.
BTC steadied around USD 28,500. On April Fools’ Day, someone spread a rumor that “a certain game company is launching a chain,” and the group began guessing who and when. Team members exchanged smiles and did not deny it. One suggested dropping a hint, but another worried a joke could be taken as a promise, so they decided not to add to the talk that day.
The rumor showed the team that outsiders were already piecing together clues, making the choice of words more urgent. They planned to distinguish what could be disclosed from what was still in preparation in their formal materials. Until then, the community's guesses remained guesses.
