A Narrowing Chromos Window and a Wallet Barrier

Final Form was still in its early experience phase. Cards already distributed could be used in the game, and lower-rarity cards could be consumed to reach higher rarities. The community's immediate question was whether to stake the cards it held or keep them ready for future battles.

Officials published a new staking process: players could stake cards to draw Chromos, then use Chromos to evolve those cards to higher rarities. The stated reason was that the cards would be useful in future card battles. A note at the end changed the calculation. Once Final Form left early experience and entered public testing, the Chromos earned through staking would fall sharply. Players would then have to use their staked cards in battles to earn the same amount they could now receive from staking alone. That evening, the group debated how many cards to stake, which ones to choose, and whether to stake lower-rarity cards they had been reluctant to burn.

The easier period for obtaining Chromos now had a stated endpoint, though no date to count down to. Players had to weigh their resources for evolution against future battles. On the same day, someone asked whether pigeons held in a hardware wallet could enter the game directly. The answer was no for now: the cards had to be moved out first. An easier login method was in development, with hopes of having it ready for public testing. The narrator noted the obstacle: a game meant to let people jump straight into battle still had to teach them to move their cards first. Whether the new login method would remove that obstacle in time remained open.
