Background: XAI stood at $0.18, with little buying interest, and questions about key prices still hung over the group. Officials had promised to reveal a project being built behind the scenes. The narrator and another lead came to the town hall before a community that wanted both a new direction and answers about earlier promises.
Today: They spoke for an hour. First came airdrops: as of that day, eight partners had committed to distributing rewards to small-key holders in 2025. One or two would act soon; the others would follow their own product schedules. Then came the outlines of two major initiatives: a distribution platform intended to bring a very large number of users and games to Xai at once, and an artificial intelligence project whose details would come later. They also addressed an awkward episode: the official X account had previously been suspended and was set to private after its restoration to guard against another suspension. The team suspected that bot activity had triggered the action by mistake. The account was public again, but they would keep watching it.
Impact and next steps: Game progress was laid out title by title. Planet-X’s VIP showcase and beta were approaching; RiftStorm was working through feedback from its last playtest, with the full version expected in the first half of the year; Tollan’s new game was nearly finished. Legal and structural issues still held up the Arbitrum gaming fund, which the team was working to advance. The Vanguard Phase 3 leaderboard still needed a data review to remove bots and cheaters. Final Form remained in successive design revisions, with a release still targeted for the year. The town hall turned scattered waiting into progress the community could question, without completing that work overnight. Later, the official account posted only the word “future” and a name the community had not seen before: Raijin. The narrator recalled A-Zhen saying in the development group the previous week that she was busy with a secret new project, and said nothing for now. What Raijin meant remained to be explained.
