Introduction
In the third quarter, Cellula evolved from a fully on-chain AI game into an innovative programmable incentive layer, revolutionizing the asset issuance model within the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) ecosystem.
Cellula is the world’s first autonomous digital world based on Conway’s Game of Life, where users can create unique and ever-evolving on-chain digital lives known as BitLife. Each BitLife has a unique hashrate and generates rewards through virtual mining, similar to Bitcoin mining. By leveraging the original virtual Proof of Work (vPoW) consensus mechanism, Cellula achieves high composability and persistence, establishing a new incentive layer that creates more possibilities for gamified asset issuance. The vPoW mechanism endows each BitLife with unique computing power, allowing it to participate in decentralized mining and dynamically generate incentives, thereby ensuring fair asset distribution and liquidity optimization within EVM-compatible networks.
With these cutting-edge technologies, Cellula is redefining the landscape of decentralized finance and programmable incentives. In the third quarter, the Cellula team not only drove innovation in gamified asset issuance but also delivered more reward opportunities for users through collaborations with ecosystem partners. Significant progress has also been made in product optimization and community development. We will continue to focus on innovation, delivering exceptional experiences and value to our users.

3. Marketing Activities
BitCell NFT Whitelist and Minting Event:
This quarter, we successfully launched Cellula BitCell NFTs on the Bitcoin mainnet using the RGB++ protocol. On August 3rd, FCFS whitelist users completed the free minting of 1,065 BitCell NFTs within one block height, while the earlier guaranteed whitelist of 2,001 NFTs was minted between July 31st and August 1st. To promote this event, we collaborated with nearly 10 partners, including OKX Wallet, to host the BitCell NFT whitelist giveaway, attracting close to 160,000 participants. The website saw a total of 600,000 page views within two weeks. Currently, BitCell NFTs are listed on Dobby Market, where holders will receive 20% of the total airdrop allocation. After TGE, BitCell holders will also be able to stake their NFTs to earn additional incentives and benefit from rewards offered by ecosystem partners.
Cellula Treasure Expedition:
We successfully held three rounds of the Cellula Treasure Expedition in this quarter, creatively gamifying the asset issuance process for both Cellula and its partners. Each round introduced exciting updates, enhancing the user experience and interaction.

5. Future Outlook
As we successfully conclude the third quarter, Cellula has paved the way for greater achievements through strategic partnerships, innovative mechanisms, and community-driven activities. In the upcoming fourth quarter, we will accelerate our efforts and embrace several key events that will shape the future development trajectory of Cellula.
Introduction of 4x4 Gene-Type BitLife and Miner Roles: To further enhance our ecosystem, Cellula will upgrade the existing 3x3 Gene-Type BitLife to a 4x4 Gene-Type BitLife in the fourth quarter. This upgrade will not only significantly improve the computing power and performance of the mining machines but also enhance their adaptability within the ecosystem. In addition to technological advancements, we will introduce miner roles to attract more ecological partners, driving the production, circulation, and long-term development of mining machines. Miners will become key participants in the ecosystem, injecting new momentum into the project’s sustainable growth.
New Partnerships and Alliances: We will establish new collaborations with several well-known partners and mainstream public chain networks (such as BNB, BTC, and CKB). These alliances will further expand the Cellula ecosystem, introducing new functions and opportunities for the community.
BitCell NFT Activities: We will launch the highly anticipated BitCell NFT activities and subsequent promotions, providing our community with exclusive opportunities to acquire rare assets and participate in cutting-edge staking activities.
Innovative Staking and Reward Models: Through our strategic partnership with ListaDAO, we will introduce BNB staking functionality, with all genuine returns being directly reinvested into Cellula’s treasury. This transparent revenue model will ensure sustainable growth and community development.
Cellula remains committed to building a vibrant decentralized ecosystem, relying on fair asset issuance mechanisms and inclusive participation methods. As we step into the fourth quarter, we look forward to introducing more features and opportunities to the community, laying a solid foundation for long-term success.
