Back to collectionA Keyholder Gift and a Minting Warning
Background: XAI was still falling, while Sentry Key holders awaited their first chance to claim a gift from another game. Today: The claim page opened at 9 a.m., and the first-come, first-served gifts were gone that day. Impact and next: The announcements, hours apart, described two realities at once: a key had brought holders something from another game for the first time, and XAI supply was set to increase under the plan.

Background: XAI was still falling, while Sentry Key holders awaited their first chance to claim a gift from another game. The morning claim and the Foundation's afternoon announcement raised separate questions about what a key could bring and how many tokens there would be. The narrator considered them together.
Today: The claim page opened at 9 a.m., and the first-come, first-served gifts were gone that day. Officials clarified that this batch was 100% claimed, while reserved places would remain open for six more days. That afternoon, another notice began with a warning: an XAI mint would appear on-chain; “please do not panic.” The Foundation said it was part of the published emissions schedule. The full amount had not been minted at the outset so node emissions would not be pushed to their limit. Several more mints were planned for this year, timed to minimize effects on Sentry node rewards and avoid bringing the halving forward. XAI touched 0.415 intraday, its June low. Despairing posts filled the feed, and the narrator archived them.
Impact and next: The announcements, hours apart, described two realities at once: a key had brought holders something from another game for the first time, and XAI supply was set to increase under the plan. Those who claimed had something tangible; people with reserved places had six more days. Holders still had to assess how later mints might affect node rewards. The narrator recorded how both messages landed on a day of low prices.
