Nearly 200,000 Wallets, and a Choice After October 12

The Odyssey was approaching the point that would determine the first Contributor mementos. The community wanted clearer rules and a sense of how many people the testnet had drawn. A-Zhen was watching whether outside games could connect; the narrator was watching the people behind the participation figures.

During the day, officials reposted Paima Studios’ decision to deploy its onchain role-playing game Tarochi on Xai, with a public beta coming soon. Late that night, an announcement reported that since the event began on August 28, nearly 200,000 wallets had connected to Xai and generated more than 3.5 million transactions. The first Contributor commemorative NFTs were planned for November, based on results as of October 12. Anyone unwilling to keep doing tasks after that date could stop; their progress on the 12th would be the record. The announcement also restated the old dividing line: registration on the points platform was required when the event opened in August, and wallets that had completed official testnet tasks without registering were counted only from September 27. To respect those who registered earlier, Pioneer status remained limited to registered participants, while the other Contributor tiers still counted under the rules. The testnet’s final stretch would start on October 13, with tasks resetting daily and every Pioneer avatar available for a fresh mint each day. Sentries were expected in November; anyone seeking early news could join the waitlist.

The narrator lingered over the nearly 200,000 wallets and more than 3.5 million transactions, all on a testnet with no direct earnings yet. He thought people might be waiting for a card the project had not shown. Tarochi gave A-Zhen an integration thread to follow, while the rules finally let participants decide whether to continue after the 12th. The commemorative NFTs had yet to be distributed, and details of the Sentries were still to come.
