The Xai Foundation, a core contributor to the gaming-centric blockchain network, Xai, has announced the upcoming launch of its premier gaming activation, Xai Vanguard: Genesis.

Xai is the world’s first Layer 3 solution for AAA gaming. Powered by Offchain Labs’ Arbitrum technology, Xai was developed to enable real economies and open trade in the next generation of video games.
Additionally, Ex Populus, founded by experts from industry giants Activision, Pixar, Ubisoft, and others, is the pioneering game developer on the Xai chain and believes that blockchains should primarily serve as a backend technology, and complex web3 interactions should be abstracted away. This approach enables traditional gamers to enjoy the advantages of blockchain without encountering the often high barriers typically associated with web3 experiences.

Xai Vanguard: Genesis builds on the momentum of last year’s successful Xai Odyssey campaign, which saw impressive engagement within the blockchain gaming space. Xai Odyssey recorded over 500,000 connected wallets, 5 million daily transactions, and $175 million in player rewards. Unlike its predecessor, which operated on the Xai testnet, the Xai Vanguard: Genesis will be the first major campaign conducted on the Xai mainnet.
The Xai Vanguard: Genesis campaign promises a comprehensive suite of new games, including titles like Crypto Unicorns, Final Form, and Lost Glitches, with more announcements expected throughout the campaign. Participants will have the opportunity to earn rewards by completing achievements and quests, all while competing for the top spots on the Xai Vanguard: Genesis leaderboard. The first month will also feature collaborative quests from various blockchain technology partners, offering additional opportunities for players to earn points.

The campaign is not just for gamers; developers are also encouraged to participate. The Xai Vanguard: Genesis campaign includes a series of builder quests, allowing developers and studios to earn points and rewards. Many of these quests will utilize the recently launched Xai Builder powered by Sequence, designed to onboard new applications to the Xai blockchain seamlessly.
Soby, a core contributor to Xai, expressed enthusiasm for the campaign, stating, "The launch of Xai Vanguard: Genesis marks a significant milestone for the Xai ecosystem. By bringing together a diverse range of game partners and leveraging our robust infrastructure, we create an unparalleled gaming experience that will drive innovation and engagement in the blockchain gaming space. We are excited to see the creativity and passion of our community unfold."

Leveraging its extensive Sentry Node Network of over 6000 whales and the Vanguard Network of 600,000 gamers, Xai ensures robust distribution and support for the deployed web3 games. The Xai Foundation, along with key contributors such as Offchain Labs, Ex Populus, Thirdweb, and Sequence, will provide comprehensive onboarding support for gamers and developers alike.
The Xai Foundation is dedicated to nurturing the growth of developers and games within the Xai AI blockchain ecosystem. Its mission includes attracting third-party developers, implementing effective marketing strategies, and offering financing opportunities to web3 game developers. As the custodian of the blockchain and its associated token, the Xai Foundation plays a crucial role in maintaining the platform's integrity.
