GDC was still under way, and the on-chain market finally showed some movement. Off-chain, Tollan's limited-time Wukong mystery boxes gave players a more immediate decision to make. The two sources of activity appeared side by side, but ran on different clocks.
Trading volume rose near the close and XAI edged up. Tollan's Wukong flash sale entered its final day's countdown: each box cost 0.003 ETH, roughly USD 6; one of seven skins was a unique edition, and sales would end permanently after 48 hours. Hesitant players had to decide before the deadline. The number of buyers that day even exceeded the chain's active addresses for a day.
The boxes compressed a purchasing decision into a countdown, while the late market move still lacked a clear explanation. The narrator saw that players would act for a specific skin and a deadline, but that said little about lasting confidence in XAI. Whether participation would continue after the sale, and what the trading move meant, remained open.
