Xai Odyssey: Your Path to Thriving in the Xai Ecosystem
An Introduction
Xai was developed to enable real economies and open trade 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 to use crypto-wallets. Anyone will be able to support the Xai network by running a node which allows them to receive network rewards and participate in governance. Xai is developed by Offchain Labs leveraging Arbitrum technology.
Xai is thrilled to introduce the “Odyssey” campaign, an educational journey tailor-made for the Xai community. If you’ve been wondering how you can become more than a lurker in the community, this guide is your compass.

Why participate?
For the majority, Xai Odyssey presents a unique opportunity to learn about open trade in the next generation of video games. Learn how Xai will solve the problems needed to onboard millions of gamers into the web3 domain and help stress test the new chain. The Xai team is optimistic that the low barrier to entry to the Xai testnet and ecosystem will make testing, experimenting and learning about Xai fun.
For those dedicated individuals who engage in the activities on a daily basis, we are instituting a well-organized leaderboard specifically tailored to folks like you. This feature will allow you to monitor your progress and compete for a collection of free, commemorative, non-transferable “Vanguard” themed NFTs. These non-transferable NFTs will be awarded upon the culmination of the Xai Odyssey, contingent upon one’s final standing within the leaderboard hierarchy.
Welcome to the Vanguard League
Venture far enough in the Xai Odyssey, and the title of Vanguard shall grace you. Vanguard, currently a dedicated channel in our Discord community, holds the promise of transforming into a gaming league — aptly named Vanguard — in the foreseeable future. Holders of the Vanguard role and those accessing its designated channel position themselves favorably to join the League upon its anticipated launch shortly after the deployment of Final Form to the Xai mainnet.
Forging the Xai Vanguard Path
If the allure of Vanguard calls to you, your journey can begin today. Xai has harnessed platforms like Zealy and Galxe to offer an array of quests and campaigns. Each quest, campaign, or endeavor you partake in accumulates points, propelling your ascent through the ranks, accompanied by pivotal Discord roles and access to exclusive channels. With the Vanguard role secured, the Vanguard League’s doors may soon be yours to unlock when it unfurls its banner in the foreseeable future.
Charting the Odyssey’s Course
As a dedicated Xai Contributor, you’ll navigate quests and campaigns alongside Zealy and Galxe. These activities span several engaging categories, each unfolding across five distinct stages:
- Stage 1 (3 Days): Introduction and Onboarding
- Stage 2 (7 Days): Gaming & Minting
- Stage 3 (7 Days): Gaming & Deploying NFT Projects
- Stage 4 (7 Days): Gaming & Deploying dApps
- Stage 5 (7 Days): Gaming & Deploying GameFi
Vanguard Points and Ascending Roles
As your achievements accumulate, so do your Vanguard points. Climbing the ranks entitles you to an array of roles, culminating in the revered Vanguard distinction. The hierarchy of roles encompasses:
- Common Contributor
- Rare Contributor
- Epic Contributor
- Legendary Contributor
- Vanguard
Embark on this Odyssey, champion the Vanguard spirit, and chart your course towards becoming an instrumental part of the Xai community and its vibrant ecosystem. The journey promises to be exhilarating, enriching, and undeniably worthwhile.
