A Mainnet Update, Then the Website Goes Dark

The noise of claiming and listing had barely subsided. Players and developers were looking for ways to keep using Xai. The mainnet was already running, and A-Zhen’s team had handled yesterday’s trading surge. Today the narrator had to follow a new mainnet announcement, bridge directions, and the official website’s availability. Sisyphus was still deciding whether to sell the tokens he had received the day before.

Before dawn, the project issued a mainnet announcement. It looked back on a testnet described as one of the largest in blockchain history and a notably fast node sale, then provided a bridge entry from the parent chain. The same day, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission approved the first spot Bitcoin ETFs, just one day after XAI’s listing. XAI closed at USD 0.65. Sisyphus did not sell, thinking, “The story has only just begun.” In the afternoon, the official website became inaccessible. The narrator posted a brief notice that it was down and being fixed, warning people about scammers; it returned after an hour and a half. That evening, Xai mainnet integrated with Thirdweb, letting developers mint and issue directly on it. A foreign outlet also covered the airdrop with USD 70 million in its headline.

The bridge and Thirdweb gave players and developers concrete ways to try the mainnet, while the website outage added risk for people searching for the claim page. The narrator still needed to make clear that the site had returned and keep warning about fake entry points. Sisyphus chose to keep holding, but no one could yet tell him what “just begun” would mean.
