From Points Claims to Sentry Participation
The window for claiming points from the first stage was nearing its end, and the community was already wondering what the Odyssey would ask of them next. Fewer than 23 hours remained to claim points. The close of the first stage and the entrance to the second met on the same day.

The window for claiming points from the first stage was nearing its end, and the community was already wondering what the Odyssey would ask of them next. A-Zhen had shifted from chain-side work toward integration and paid particular attention to how approachable new tools would be for ordinary participants.
Fewer than 23 hours remained to claim points. That evening, officials announced that the second stage would center on Sentry nodes. The explanation described them as observation nodes that watched the rollup protocol’s results for the network and received $XAI as compensation; they were planned to open to everyone in November. After reading it, A-Zhen said the entry barrier seemed unusually low for blockchain. She then asked what instructions ordinary people would need to keep one running over time.
The close of the first stage and the entrance to the second met on the same day. In the group, questions shifted from whether points had arrived to whether people could understand and sustain node work. A-Zhen planned to wait for fuller guidance before mapping the integration steps; the opening date and practical details still depended on later announcements.
