Xai, an Arbitrum-powered Ethereum layer-3 scaling network focused on video games, announced Thursday that it will launch its Vanguard: Genesis campaign beginning June 10, offering up months of game launches and fresh rewards ahead.
Set to run through November, the Vanguard: Genesis campaign will feature a suite of new game releases, quests, achievements, and rewards for the Xai community. Games including Crypto Unicorns, Final Form, and The Lost Glitches will launch and reward players for achieving in-game milestones as they compete for the top spot on the leaderboard.
The event follows the previous Xai Odyssey campaign last year, which drew more than 500,000 connected wallets, generating 5 million daily transactions ahead of a rewards distribution to players of $175 million worth of assets.
"The launch of Xai Vanguard: Genesis marks a significant milestone for the Xai ecosystem," said the pseudonymous Soby, a core contributor to Xai. "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."
