During this meeting, Peek introduced Funki, discussed the P2A point clearing process, and outlined the timeline leading up to major upcoming milestones.
In addition to Sipher Odyssey, Funki is another flagship product from AtherLabs that strengthens the narrative for the $ATHER token, making it more attractive for the upcoming CEX offering. Investors and partners are supportive of the move. Peek explained that Funki will not interfere with the development of Sipher Odyssey, but instead provides multiple paths to a successful $ATHER token launch.
Most of the content is on the slides. I have included my conclusions in the text below.
Peek discussed how AtherLabs handled point purging to address abuse and blatant hacking. The point confiscation was reasonable and justified, and only applied to those who blatantly exploited the system.
A significant 49.9 million points were removed from users who participated in community quests but did not play the game. This cleansing provided valuable lessons for creating a better system for the next P2A season.
The Global Open Beta for Sipher Odyssey has been pushed back from mid-September to early October due to optimization issues and bugs. Everyone who can fix bugs is focused on that now, while the rest of the team is busy building novel content features.
There will be no country restrictions for the Global Open Beta, and the PC version will likely launch simultaneously — unless there are novel issues for developers.
Sipher Odyssey is a live service game, not a one-time release. The team always plans content 2-3 months in advance to keep the game fresh.
Funki and Sipher Odyssey are the two main events at the end of this year. Everything will come together in a gigantic push, including a massive marketing campaign to attract organic Web2 users, video teasers, partnership announcements, PR articles, Funki, $ATHER token integration and staking. All of these efforts will culminate in the $ATHER Token Generation Event (TGE), along with airdrops and retrospective airdrops.
AtherLabs will also be present at Token2049 in Singapore to meet with investors and partners.
That’s it guys! I’m super excited about Sipher and excited about the Funki release. I’ll be covering all things Funki and Sipher on X, so be sure to follow me there and on Medium.
Thanks to Akichuaki for sending the screenshots!
