So far, the myth of prosperity in the crypto/blockchain industry continues, and the next significant "wealth creation" domain is focusing on the "gaming track".
If you're a beginner, now, I'd like to introduce you to a promising project on the gaming track - Xai, and share with you how to participate in this project at zero cost.
Before we begin, let me address three core questions you might have:
Why are you kindly teaching me?
The answer is, I believe Xai holds immense potential, but its success requires traction. By educating you, you get rewards at zero cost, and I hope you become a co-builder and supporter of the project. I hope that when someone asks, you can also help them. I hope we can jointly boost the project and achieve mutual prosperity. This embodies the spirit of blockchain and Web3.
Can I get started even if I know nothing?
The answer is, if you have experience with airdrops, after reading this article, you'll be able to make your own judgment about the project and know what to do next. If you haven't experienced airdrops but are familiar with on-chain DeFi operations, you'll find it easy to get started after reading this article. If you've only traded on exchanges like Binance, you'll understand the concept after reading, but you might need to seek help from the first two types of friends or the community.
Why choose Xai?
Here's why:
3.1 Strong Technology: Xai, the gaming blockchain, is currently developed and maintained by the development team of Arbtrium (ARB), Ethereum's largest layer 2 project. This ensures robust and reliable technology, a crucial factor for the project's success. It's worth noting that Xai receives direct technical support from Offchain Labs. Such support is unimaginable! Xai is a key component of the strategic gaming plan within the Arbitrum ecosystem.
3.2 Right Direction: Xai transitioned from a traditional large-scale gaming company to Web3. The global shift of gamers from Web2 to Web3 is inevitable. Xai has the potential to play a significant role in this massive transition from Web2 to Web3. Frankly, the games already showcased by Xai surpass the experience offered by other crypto gaming projects at the moment.
3.3 Funding: Xai is a strategic collaboration between Offchain Labs and Ex Populus. Ex Populus has raised over $12 million, while Offchain Labs has garnered over $120 million. For context regarding the relationship between project entities: Behind the Arbitrum Foundation is Offchain Labs; behind the Avalanche Foundation is Ava Labas; thus, behind the Xai Foundation is Ex Populus.
3.4 Compliance: Xai is a U.S. enterprise and has completed all necessary legal preparations for compliance. It won't face regulatory halts midway through its journey.
3.5 Market Savvy: Xai's partners include crypto KOLs and traditional celebrities, such as boxing legend Mike Tyson. They excel at collaborating with renowned partners at various levels to enhance the project's visibility. More marketing efforts will gradually unfold.
Overview of Xai Odyssey Event:
1.What is Odyssey?
The term "Odyssey" is often used metaphorically to describe a long, challenging, and adventurous journey or experience. Modern organizations, companies, or events might use the name "Odyssey" to convey that their activity or project embodies exploration, adventure, and challenges.
2.What are the benefits of participating in the XAI Odyssey event?
2.1 Learning and Training: Without hands-on experience, one can't deeply appreciate. Thus, participating in the Odyssey event allows community members to experience the Xai project's ecosystem and understand its potential from a user's perspective. Moreover, only by familiarizing oneself with Xai can one contribute to the community's development. If you've joined the Odyssey and experienced its smooth operations, you'll realize that such a user experience is key to success!
2.2 Potential Economic Returns: Typically, participating in a crypto project's Odyssey might offer economic rewards, such as token incentives. Joining Xai's Odyssey will grant you an NFT, the empowerment of which has not been disclosed by the Xai project team.
What should be my goal if I participate in Xai's Odyssey event?
All participants in Xai's Odyssey will be ranked, and the top 15% will receive the highest-tier NFT. Thus, I believe our goal should be to secure this top-tier NFT! It's worth noting that there are five NFT tiers in total. While other NFTs are valuable, without explicit rewards disclosed by the project, we should aim for the highest NFT!
Structural Analysis of Xai Odyssey:
1.Web2 Social Accounts and Community Tools
1.1 Twitter: The Odyssey guides participants to promote the event through their social platforms. Xai's Odyssey primarily uses Twitter for this purpose.
1.2 Discord Chat Software: Discord is a community communication platform. After joining the Discord group, community members can communicate, and much of Xai's project information will be released on Discord. If you're unfamiliar with Discord, you can use tools like Google to learn more.
1.3 Telegram Chat Software: Telegram is a chat application. After joining the Telegram group, community members can communicate. If you're unfamiliar with Telegram, you can use tools like Google to find more information.
2.EOA Wallet
The commonly used wallet here is Metamask, also known as the "fox wallet". If you're unfamiliar with this, you can use tools like Google for more information or consult experienced members in the community.
3.Zelay Task Platform
You'll need to bind your Discord, Twitter, Telegram, and EOA wallet on the Zelay platform and then complete the tasks published by the Xia project team on the platform.
Tasks are categorized into two types:
3.1 Tasks Without Time Constraints: These tasks typically include actions like following Xai on Twitter, Medium, Instagram, YouTube, setting a Twitter profile picture, and so on.
3.2 Time-sensitive Tasks: These tasks are generally valid only for the day they are issued. Once the day has passed, they can no longer be completed.
4.Galxe Galaxy Task Platform:
The Galaxy task platform is another platform for task distribution, similar in nature to Zealy. You will also need to bind your Discord, Twitter, Telegram, and EOA wallet on the Galaxy platform and then complete the tasks published by the Xia project team on it. Since Galaxy is a very popular platform, it won't be elaborated further here.
Tasks on the bank are divided into six main sections:
4.1 Onboarding Stage Section (No Time Limit): This section primarily asks you to follow some of Xai's social accounts and join Xai's community. Once completed, you can earn points.
4.2 Bridging Stage Section (No Time Limit): This section primarily focuses on having you bridge the Ethereum Goerli testnet's GETH to Arbtrium (ARB), and then from the Arbtrium (ARB) testnet bridge to the Xai testnet. If you already have test GETH on the Arbtrium (ARB) testnet, then you can directly bridge the GETH from the Arbtrium (ARB) testnet to the Xai testnet. Upon completion, you can earn points.
4.3 Minting Stage Section (Time-Limited!): In this section, you are required to MINT 42 NFTs every day. It's a repetitive task, and if you miss out on any day, the corresponding points cannot be reclaimed.
4.4 Web3 Warrior Stage Section (No Time Limit): This section primarily involves playing a game developed by Third Web on the testnet. By playing the game, you can earn in-game tokens. These tokens can be used to purchase in-game items, which can then be transferred to the wallet participating in the Galxe activities.
Here are a few tips:
4.4.1 Game Login: The game requires an email for login, which serves as the account for the social wallet provided by Third Web. Users don't need to operate their EOA wallet manually. On your first login, you'll receive a verification code and a recovery code. The verification code is used for logging into the game, and you'll receive a new one each time you log in. If you switch computers, you'll be prompted to enter both the verification and recovery codes during login.
4.4.2 VPN Usage: If you're logging in using a VPN, make sure to select the TUN mode (tunnel mode). The Proxy mode won't allow you to update the game or purchase items.
4.4.3 In-game Purchases: After purchasing in-game items, ensure you transfer them to the EOA wallet address you use for participating in the Galxe activities. Otherwise, they won't be captured in the snapshot, and you won't earn any points.
4.5 Deploying Stage Section (No Time Limit): This section mainly involves using Third Web's services to create your own NFT project. There's nothing particularly special about it; just follow the tutorial to complete the tasks.
4.6 Game Developer Stage Section (No Time Limit): This section is primarily designed for game developers. Regular users can skip this part.
Zero-Cost Participation in Xai Odyssey: A Benefit Analysis
Strictly speaking, your cost is the time you invest. So, let's calculate how much time is needed to complete the Xai Odyssey tasks with high quality.
The duration of this Odyssey is from October 13th to December 15th, calculated as 60 days.
Zealy Tasks:
1.1 One-time tasks: These mainly include following Xai on Twitter, Medium, Instagram, YouTube, and setting a specific Twitter avatar, etc. Normally, these can be completed in about 1 hour.
1.2 Daily limited-time tasks: These usually involve retweeting and liking tweets. On average, it takes about 10 minutes per day.
Galxe Tasks:
2.1 Onboarding Stage: This can be completed in 30-60 minutes.
2.2 Bridging Stage: This can be completed in 30-60 minutes.
2.3 Minting Stage: This takes about 40 minutes daily.
2.4 Web3 Warrior Stage: This requires a one-time commitment of 15 to 20 hours. If you can't complete it in this time, you might be playing the game incorrectly.
2.5 Deploying Stage: This can be completed in 30-60 minutes.
In summary, to complete the Odyssey and rank in the top 15%, you'll need to allocate about 24 hours over 60 days for one-time tasks and 1 hour daily for daily tasks.
It's worth noting that even though there are 5 tiers of NFTs, the above time estimate is for obtaining the highest tier NFT.
Can you get early tokens without participating in the Xai Odyssey?
For investors looking for opportunities and who see potential in the Xai project but don't have the time to participate in the Odyssey, there's still a chance to get early tokens. Xai has a node program. Let's look at what the Xai node is:
The Xai node is called Sentry. Within the Xai ecosystem, the Xai Sentry node will be the most crucial participant. Sentry nodes are observer nodes used to monitor the Xai rollup protocol. To ensure network security, Sentry nodes will be rewarded with $Xai. The operation of the Xai Sentry node will be very simple to achieve decentralization: download the node, install, run, and receive token rewards. Specific details will be disclosed in November.
