Back to collectionA Holiday Scorecard and Promises for Key Holders
At Christmas, Xai had just been through the key split and another sale. The letter listed what it called the year’s achievements: the first Layer 3 chain built on Arbitrum, more than twelve active games, over one billion cumulative transactions, fourteen million players connected, and a USD 250 million gaming ecosystem fund it had helped bring about with others. The scorecard gave developers and operators a record of work to review; key holders received a list of benefits that still had to be delivered.

At Christmas, Xai had just been through the key split and another sale. Holders were waiting for ecosystem games to deliver on their commitments while watching a weak price. The team chose its holiday letter to review the year and set out next year’s proposed benefits for key holders separately.
The letter listed what it called the year’s achievements: the first Layer 3 chain built on Arbitrum, more than twelve active games, over one billion cumulative transactions, fourteen million players connected, and a USD 250 million gaming ecosystem fund it had helped bring about with others. For existing and new key holders, it promised airdrops, beta access, and tournaments open only to key holders in the coming year. Meanwhile, the chain kept producing blocks, nodes stayed online, and XAI stood at 0.215.
The scorecard gave developers and operators a record of work to review; key holders received a list of benefits that still had to be delivered. Neither answered the questions raised by the other. The Night Watchman continued his holiday node checks, and the narrator planned to distinguish completed work from pending benefits in the year-end account. The gap between price and expectations remained.
