Season Two had been running for only a week, and its tasks were taking players from game entry points toward on-chain tools. XAI fell below 0.60 amid panic selling, losing nearly 10% in a day. The throughput figure showed on-chain activity after Season Two began, but it did not ease the sell-off.

Season Two had been running for only a week, and its tasks were taking players from game entry points toward on-chain tools. A-Zhen, working on the engineering side, watched whether newcomers could follow those steps. With the market falling, players were more likely to put costs and operational risks first.
XAI fell below 0.60 amid panic selling, losing nearly 10% in a day. Officials also shared a figure for the previous weekend: transaction throughput across the Ethereum ecosystem had reached a record 246 transactions per second, with more than 40% occurring on Xai. Chapter Six covered the cross-chain bridge. A-Zhen urged participants to identify the chain their assets would leave and their destination before acting.
The throughput figure showed on-chain activity after Season Two began, but it did not ease the sell-off. The bridge chapter shifted attention from finishing a task to understanding the route funds would take. A-Zhen planned to collect the steps that confused newcomers most for later instructions; whether players could complete the operation with confidence remained to be seen.
