Let me slowly check and share some updates about Ex Populus for you!
This is the news for August 2023:
Introduction
Xai was developed to enable real economies and open transactions in the next generation of video games. With Xai, potentially billions of traditional gamers can own and trade valuable in-game items in their favorite games for the first time without the need for a crypto wallet. Anyone can support the Xai network by running a node, which allows them to earn network rewards and participate in governance. Xai was developed by Offchain Labs using Arbitrum technology.
Xai is pleased to introduce the "Odyssey" event, an educational journey tailor-made for the Xai community. If you have been wondering how to become more active in the community, this guide is your compass.
Why participate?
For most, Xai Odyssey provides a unique opportunity to learn about open transactions in the next generation of video games. Learn how Xai will solve the problems needed to bring millions of players into the web3 space and help stress test new chains. The Xai team is optimistic about the low barrier to entry of the Xai testnet and ecosystem, which will make it fun to test, experiment and learn about Xai.
For those dedicated individuals who participate in the event every day, we have set up a well-organized leaderboard for people like you. This feature will allow you to monitor your progress and compete for a series of free, commemorative, non-transferable "Pioneer" themed NFTs. These non-transferable NFTs will be awarded at the end of Xai Odyssey based on one's final position in the leaderboard.
Welcome to join Pioneer Alliance
Venture far enough in Xai Odyssey, and you'll be awarded the title of Pioneer. Pioneer, currently a dedicated channel in our Discord community, promises to turn into a gaming alliance in the foreseeable future - aptly named Pioneer. Holders of the Pioneer role and those who enter its designated channel will be in a position to join the alliance after its expected launch.
Forging the Xai Pioneer Path
If the allure of Vanguard calls to you, your journey can begin today. Xai leverages platforms like Zealy and Galxe to offer a range of quests and events. Every quest, event, or endeavor you take part in will accumulate points, propelling you through the ranks, along with key Discord roles and access to exclusive channels. With a Vanguard role, the doors to the Vanguard League may soon open for you when it unfurls its banner in the foreseeable future.
Charting the Odyssey's Route
As a dedicated Xai contributor, you will navigate missions and events alongside Zealy and Galxe. These events cover several fascinating categories, each divided into five clear phases:
Phase 1 (3 days): Introduction and Onboarding
Phase 2 (7 days): Games and Minting
Phase 3 (7 days): Gaming and deploying NFT projects
Phase 4 (7 days): Gaming and deploying dApps

Updated roadmap
While we appreciate the early updates to Ex Populus, the first of many game developers deploying to the Xai Network, from now on the Xai Foundation will determine all roadmaps for the Xai ecosystem.
The following roadmap is an estimate and is subject to rigorous technical development and compliance feedback. As such, dates are subject to change. This represents our best estimate at this time:
August 2023 — Testnet: Xai blockchain testnet launches, along with Xai Odyssey, an event designed to educate the community and stress-test the new chain.
October/November 2023 — Pioneer Nodes: Pioneer Nodes are open to the public. Anyone can help decentralize the network and keep an eye on the network integrity.
December 2023 — XAI Blockchain: Xai Blockchain mainnet is launched in preparation for the first game release.
December 2023 — Final Form: The release of the final form will coincide with the launch of the Xai token.
December 2023 — XAI Token: Xai Token is launched simultaneously with Final Form to ensure smooth operation of the blockchain.
December 2023 — Pioneer League: Launch of the Pioneer League, a league for elite players in games deployed on the Xai Network.
About Xai Foundation
The main goal of the XAI Foundation is to promote the growth of developers and games within the XAI blockchain ecosystem. Its core functions include attracting third-party developers and games to the platform, developing effective market strategies for these games, and providing funding opportunities for web3 game developers. In addition, the XAI Foundation also assumes the key role of being the guardian of the blockchain and its associated tokens, ensuring the integrity of the platform.
