# **Staking rewards have been distributed.** ✨

Vortex tokens, The Root Network's reward token, have now been sent to those who helped secure the network in the last reward cycle.

Throughout the reward cycle Gas & Network Fees and the networks Bootstrap Incentive are added to The Vortex. At the end of the reward cycle, these rewards are distributed in the form of Vortex tokens to network participants.

Vortex tokens represent a corresponding percentage of the tokens in The Vortex, currently XRP, ROOT, SYLO & ASTO. Unwinding functionality is coming soon.

# Quest 002: The Stake is now complete. 💫

Thank you to @everyone who participated and are helping to secure The Root Network through staking.

If you completed the Quest, your ROOT rewards will be sent to your FuturePass in the coming weeks.

@everyone 👀

https://www.kucoin.com/announcement/the-root-network-root-is-available-on-burningdrop

Hey @everyone just a note to say you will likely start to see some other validators come online outside our own shortly. We are moving TRN to closed beta and have invited some professional node operators to help us test this phase of the network and our processes like upgrades etc.

This is another step on the path to full decentralisation and we look forward to a successful test period and opening up to public beta. <:ROOT:1127729166633156739>

# @everyone the @ROOT staking reward cycle closes in 6 days 📆

**📍What happens at the end of The Root Network’s first 90 day reward cycle?**

Your staking rewards, in the form of Vortex tokens, will be viewable within your FuturePass. Distribution will be in the days following the completed reward cycle.
Cycle one ends November 19th PT.

**📍What are Vortex tokens?**

Vortex tokens are The Root Network’s staking reward token.

At the end of each reward cycle, the protocol determines how many new Vortex tokens to mint. These are based on the Bootstrap Rewards, Gas and Network Fees collected during the cycle. The new Vortex tokens are then distributed as rewards for participation.

Your Vortex tokens can be held, traded or unwound to release a corresponding percentage of tokens that are in The Vortex. This is currently a combination of XRP, ROOT, SYLO & ASTO.

**📍What happens to my staked ROOT at the end of a cycle?**

The short answer is, nothing. At the end of each cycle your $ROOT remains staked, that is unless you decide to unstake. There is a 28 day unbonding period and this applies regardless of the era or cycle.

# <:RootBlackWhiteSq:1127765651289821244> TRN Outage Incident Report 2023-10-18

@Bug Alerts 

**Summary**

At 09:36 on October 18, 2023, The Root Network Mainnet runtime was updated to v4.42.0 in part of a series of planned updates to take The Root Network from Alpha to Beta stage. Ten minutes later, The Root Network Mainnet stopped producing blocks.  Our internal monitoring tools picked up on the outage and the TRN Core Team came together to troubleshoot the issue. The root cause of the outage was identified as a Memory Leak issue, which caused validators to run out of memory and fail. Once this Memory Leak issue was resolved a subsequent issue was discovered resulting from the outages. This issue meant the Root Mainnet was unable to synchronise. This synchronisation issue has been experienced by other substrate based chains such as Kusama. To help the network resynchronise the Time Warp technique was implemented to resynchronise the chain.

As the number of services running on The Root Network Mainnet at present is minimal, we attempted to identify and resolve the outage as quickly as possible before making a public statement. However, as it became apparent we would not be able to resolve the outage quickly and without incident, we published an announcement to both our core community on Discord, and our wider community on X. We continued to provide updates whenever relevant through Discord over the entire course of the outage.

We acknowledge that while this was an unfortunate incident that no one plans to experience, it was also a great opportunity to learn how we can implement best practices and improve our overall network reliability. As we are still working through the Alpha stage of The Root Network rollout, we are often moving faster than we would if The Root Network was progressed to the next stage (BETA). As we move into the public Beta and eventual full rollout of TRN things like including longer periods of new patches soaking on Testnet will help to mitigate any risk of future outages.

For more detailed information, please see the Main Issues and Response Timeline below. Once again, we thank you all for your support and patience while we resolved this incident and continue to work through these early release stages of The Root Network.

**Main Issues**

__Memory Leak Issue__

**Cause**
The [PR #692](https://github.com/futureversecom/trn-seed/pull/692), which is part of the 4.42.0 release, had a flaw in [the clearing storage logic](https://github.com/futureversecom/trn-seed/blob/3fe137f94ed87e26e3770f502d9b6603e09030c3/pallet/xrpl-bridge/src/lib.rs#L574-L596) which caused the validators to loop through a significant amount of storage reading operations and ultimately ran out of memory when trying to process an XRPL bridging transaction.

**Fix**
A [patch was applied](https://github.com/futureversecom/trn-seed/commit/1366a399a1213003e273a2206707fcc5b55d2269) to all mainnet validators in a sandboxed environment, allowing them to produce the next block (block 8260345).

__Epoch Change Issue__

**Cause**
Root Mainnet was unable to continue producing the next block (after 8260344) once the memory leak issue was addressed with an error `Unexpected Epoch Change`

**Fix**
A [patch was applied](https://github.com/futureversecom/trn-substrate/commit/74d716e36d98a5faf94ef1bd9ca290c617cd8262) to all mainnet validators in a sandboxed environment to produce blocks at higher rate to catch up. The technique is called [Time Warping](https://medium.com/polkadot-network/kusamas-first-adventure-2cd4f439a7a4)

The Time Warp technique has been used by several chains
- [Kusama](https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/pull/4543/files)
- [Moonbeam](https://github.com/paritytech/substrate/commit/d0decd934335f98398f159b4c0ca7117e2641f91)
- [CENNZnet](https://github.com/plugblockchain/plug-blockchain/blob/0fca08687c91fc178f7242ca0bebf26828dae51d/primitives/timestamp/src/lib.rs#L91-L134)

**Introducing the Futureverse Asset Registry**

@everyone

Yesterday we launched the Cut & Style update to Muhammad Ali - The Next Legends, which allows people to switch up their hairstyle, hair color, and pose on their TNL Boxers. On the surface, this is a fun update which allows for greater customisation of avatars, but under the hood, it's the first use case of our new Asset Registry, a key tool in our platform and part of the updated direction for the new Sylo protocol.

The Asset Registry is a new ledger system that functions similarly to layer 2 distributed ledger technologies (DLTs). It has been designed with a primary focus on managing asset relationships. It brings a blockchain-like transaction experience but with off-chain DLT performance. This is a crucial piece of technology for building an open and interoperable metaverse.

# <:FVBlackCircle:1127113697219846245> Quest 003 - The MARK ROOT Rewards 🔑 

@everyone

Congrats Questers, those of you who have completed Quest 003: The MARK will see some shiny new ROOT has just landed in your FuturePasses.

> Please note, the 100 ROOT bonus for completing a trade in MARK is still being finalised and should be distributed in the next 48h. Additionally, the "completed" status will also start to display within this timeframe.

❓ **FAQs** ❓

**Why didn’t I receive any ROOT rewards?**
If you did not complete all the steps in the Quest, you are not eligible for ROOT rewards.

Currently, ROOT rewards for completing Quests are entirely dictated by your FutureScore. If your FutureScore is 0, you will not receive any ROOT even if you completed the Quest. At present, the only way to increase your FutureScore is by owning Futureverse collectibles. There will be other opportunities to increase your FutureScore, or earn ROOT rewards outside of your FutureScore, in the near future.

If you are certain you successfully completed all the steps in the Quest, and have a FutureScore greater than zero, then please #🎫・open-a-ticket and our lovely support team will help you out. Be sure to include as much information as possible to help our support team with their investigations.

**Why is the ROOT reward for Quest 003 less than the reward for Quest 001?**
The incredibly large ROOT rewards associated with Quest 001 are the exception, not the rule, for Quest rewards. We cannot send out 1% of the entire supply of ROOT for every Quest, but you can expect to see at least 4 more Quests before the end of the year.


As always, thank you for participating in our Futurescore Quests. Your support with testing our products and services, and those of our partners, help us to continuously refine and improve as we continue working tirelessly to build the future of the internet. 

See you for Quest 004 soon! <:PepeLuvThis:1050305671477854238>

<:RootBlackWhiteSq:1127765651289821244> **UPDATE** <:RootBlackWhiteSq:1127765651289821244>

We are pleased to announce that The Root Network and all associated services are now back up and running normally. Although no one plans to fail, it’s been a good exercise to put our incident response plans in play so we can tick another box in the ALPHA phase of The Root Network. 

We will publish an incident report next week to outline the cause of the outage, the steps we took to resolve it, and our learnings from the experience.

Please note, in light of this outage and the long weekend in New Zealand, ROOT rewards for Quest 3 will now be distributed on Monday 23rd PT / Tuesday 24th NZT.

With this important update now complete, we can’t wait to show you what we have in store for the future of The Root Network as we move towards our public BETA phase.

Thank you @everyone, and have a great weekend.

**UPDATE**

The Root Network has now been fully synced and is producing new blocks the team will now work on bringing the services and applications online. We appreciate your patience while we took our time to work through the root causes to resolve this bug during our ALPHA phase. The team will prepare an incident report on our learnings. Now that we have successfully made the updates we look forward to the new applications joining The Root Network and the network BETA phase with further community participation in decentralization.

<@&1151239741275119616>

**UPDATE**

We have found the root (heh) cause of the issue which is causing CPU and Memory to spike on nodes which impacts their ability to produce new blocks. We have designed a solution to resolve this and bring the services impacted back online. The team is currently implementing and testing this and we will have an update in a few hours. 

While this is an unfortunate situation, it is not entirely unexpected during ALPHA The Root Network is certainly not the only chain to have experienced an outage like this during their ALPHA and BETA phases.  We are confident we will have it resolved promptly. We did not see the issue in the testnet deployment as it took some time to materialise, but in BETA and beyond we would have likely picked this up in our testnet phase since as we would run updates for an extended period on testnet before deploying to mainnet than we currently do in ALPHA.

As the big techs often say, move fast and break things is often the best way to go in these early phases and that’s why we are still in ALPHA.

As always, thanks for your patience and support.

We are working on an extended maintenance period for The Root Network as a result of a planned upgrade taking longer than expected. There appears to be a bug which was not evident in the test network deployment. 

The Root Network is currently in open ALPHA mode and we are making some final changes to prepare the network for public BETA, including community validator nodes as well as the launch of several new applications and experiences on TRN. 

Part of the changes we have made in this update have been as a direct result of feedback and insights we have had during our recent quests on TRN we appreciate your support in helping us make The Root Network stronger. 

As The Root Network is still in ALPHA this kind of thing is expected as we move a little faster than we would in BETA and beyond. 

Our team are still diligently working to resolve the outage and will provide updates accordingly.

Thanks for your patience and support.

<:FVWhite:1127113676109905990> **Dear Stakers** 🥩 

Thanks to the support from our community member @​fn00eu, we realise that many Nominators may not realise that they are currently staking against an oversubscribed Validator, and as such are not receiving any rewards. Specifically, **Validator 1 is oversubscribed by 120 Nominators, meaning these 120 people are not currently earning rewards.**

**What do I need to do?**

Anyone who has staked less than 1,335 ROOT and has nominated to Futureverse_node_1 may want to consider changing their nominations to one or more other Validators. There are currently 120 FuturePass owners that are not earning staking rewards.

- You can check your nominations by logging into the Staking Dashboard and scrolling down to “Your Nominations” - if you’re nominating an oversubscribed Validator you will see an “Oversubscribed” notification in the “Number of Nominators” column
- When you are selecting new Validator(s) to nominate, check the “Number of Nominators” column and choose one or more Validators that have less than 256 Nominators if you want to maximize staking rewards (currently Node 1 is the only oversubscribed Validator)

**Please note**

- If you are Nominating Node 1 and have staked more than 1,334.65 ROOT you are currently earning staking rewards, however this can change if another user with a larger stake nominates to this node.
- We (the Futureverse team) cannot advise you which Validator(s) to nominate your stake to, only that you are not likely to earn rewards for your stake if you nominate to an oversubscribed validator.
- Changing your Nominations are not instant. When you submit the request to change Nominators, it will not take effect until the 3rd era (each era is 24h) after submitting your request (this is a function of all Substrate based networks, not just TRN):
    - 1st Era (current) submits request to the chain
    - 2nd Era submits request to the validator network
    - 3rd Era the request is actioned
- Changing Nominators is an on-chain transaction, you will need XRP to pay for GAS.

With last week’s updates to the Staking Dashboard we have improve the UI to help you identify which Validators are oversubscribed. We are continuing development and improvement of this Dashboard to include more metrics in future, such as showing whether or not you are in the top 256 Nominators for an oversubscribed Validator, what the minimum ROOT threshold is to earn rewards, etc.

Due to the number of data points and parties involved, ROOT distribution for Quest 003 is taking slightly longer than normal. We expect to start distributing ROOT rewards over the next few days. We will update you when the distribution is complete.

Please note, your Quest completion status in the FuturePass dashboard will not update to COMPLETED until the rewards are distributed.

## __Staking Dashboard Update__

As you know the Buidl-ing never stops here at Futureverse, and as part of our ongoing development, we've updated The Root Network staking dashboard. 
After careful consideration of the feedback we've received since launching the Staking Protocol, we’ve made these changes to improve the user experience and overall accuracy of the information.
With all that in mind, we are adding three new input metrics that provide a clearer picture of your share of rewards from staking, work points, and Bootstrap rewards. 
These metrics replace Share of Pool and Estimate Vortex Token Rewards metrics. Both of these were confusing and volatile, causing uncertainty and angst amongst the community.

**__The New:__**

•  **Share of Staking rewards** for the current Cycle - Your accumulated Staking points are displayed as a percentage of the total Staking points accumulated during the current Cycle by all staking participants.
• **Share of Work Points for the current Cycle** - Your accumulated Work points are displayed as a percentage of the total accumulated Work points during the current cycle (you must Nominate your staked ROOT to earn a share of Work points).
• **Bootstrap Rewards** during the current Cycle - You earn ROOT tokens based on your participation level. This is added to The Vortex at the end of the reward cycle and paid out in VORTEX rewards. Refer to the Tokenomics diagram for more information.

**__The Old:__**

**Share of Pool: **
• This metric, which was partially based on the metrics of the input mentioned above, was poorly labeled and aggregated too much information, which has caused confusion in the community. As such we’ve deemed it more valuable to share the new input metrics directly.
**Estimated Vortex Token Reward: **
• This was combining the input metrics and using the fees collected during the reward cycle to estimate VORTEX rewards at the end of an era.
• As many in the community noticed, this metric can be volatile. This volatility is based on the tokens collected during the reward cycle, and as such the estimate can move up or down unexpectedly based on factors beyond The Root Network. The two things that are important to focus on are the fees collected during the reward cycle (available on the landing page) and your input metrics. We will now wait for the end of the reward cycle to calculate your VORTEX rewards and distribute them.

<a:siren:1071933813715910697> **SECURITY UPDATE** <a:siren:1071933813715910697>

@everyone **If you have any wallets with a compromised seed phrase/private key linked to your FuturePass, we advise that you unlink these wallets immediately.**

If you have a compromised wallet which held collectibles you have since transferred, and want to safely benefit from the time-held component of your FutureScore, you can do this by combining FutureScores rather than linking wallets:
1. Create a new FuturePass using the compromised wallet
2. Log out
3. Log in to your main FuturePass.
4. Go to the FutureScore tab and select ‘Combine FutureScores’
5. Combine the FutureScore of the compromised FuturePass by logging in with the compromised wallet.

**Please note:**
- The FuturePass created with the compromised wallet will be forever compromised. Do not use it.
- The time-held calculation is being worked on, so successfully combining your FutureScore may not impact the FutureScore immediately.
- For clarity, there is zero risk to any of the collectibles in other linked wallets. The risk is that the compromised key could be used to transact the collectibles or tokens in the FuturePass address on The Root Network.
- If the wallet wasn't seed compromised there is no risk relating to the FuturePass.

**HOW TO CONNECT MULTIPLE WALLETS TO FUTUREPASS**

<:FVBlackCircle:1127113697219846245> **FutureScore is here @everyone!** <:FVBlackCircle:1127113697219846245>

Say hello to **FutureScore Quests**. 🔑

Quests are interactive challenges on The Root Network. Complete Quests to increase your FutureScore and earn ROOT.

Each Quest will vary in complexity and duration but your first FutureScore Quest is straightforward.

Introducing, **The Score**.

1. Login or create a FuturePass at https://futureverse.com/futurepass and go to the FutureScore page.
2. If applicable, link your wallets with Futureverse Collectibles.
3. Click the ‘Generate’ button and your score will appear.

Should you complete this Quest by Aug 8 4pm PT, you'll be rewarded with the greatest treasure of all, ROOT.

Your FutureScore acts as a multiplier for the rewards you earn, so the total ROOT you receive from completing The Score will depend on the score itself.

Are you up for the challenge?

https://futureverse.com/futurepass/quests

❓ **FAQs** ❓

**How many ROOT tokens are up for grabs?**
The exact number of ROOT tokens available will depend on the number of participants and their FutureScore number.

**Will there be the same number of tokens for each challenge?**
The number of tokens available will change per quest.

**Are you planning on making the FutureScore calculation public?**
No, the details in how this is calculated is proprietary. Your FutureScore is calculated based on things like the type of assets you hold, the number of assets you hold, how long you have held them, the rarity of those assets, the activities those assets have been involved with, along with other contributions players have made to growing the ecosystem, such as social media activity.

**Can I still join the challenge if my assets are stored on a Ledger?**
Yes. If you have signed on to FuturePass with a Ledger then these collectibles have been registered against your FuturePass.

**Collectibles currently eligible for FutureScore:**
FLUF World: Flufs, PartyBears, Seekers, Thingies, Buzzies, Burrows, E.G.G.s, Scenes and Sounds, Art by Thingies, FLUF Haus
ASM: BRAINS, Gen II BRAINS, AIFA All-Stars, ASM AIFA Genesis
Muhammad Ali - The Next Legends: Boxers & Gym Bags
Gods & Goblins: Goblins, Amulets
Drug Receipts
ATEM Membership Cards
Dr Grordborts: Rayguns
Cool Cats 
POTA

❗ **KNOWN ISSUES** ❗ 

**Coinbase wallet support**
Users who have initially logged in to their FuturePass via Coinbase will not be able to use Coinbase to link an address or combine FutureScores. This is a limitation of the Coinbase wallet software, however, we are working on a solution.

**Merging accounts**
In the future, we will introduce the ability for you to merge multiple FuturePasses into one. This will shut down any additional FuturePasses you have and merge all your assets into one single FuturePass. For now, however, you can combine multiple FutureScores together to generate one combined FutureScore.

ICYMI @everyone, we are incredibly excited this morning to officially announce that we’ve closed our $54M Series A round led by 10T, with participation from Ripple to scale our AI and metaverse technologies.

<:Discord:861456505914785812> **Discord Relaunch** <:Discord:861456505914785812>

@everyone, our community team has been working diligently on a plan to restructure our Discord servers to help us better serve our community. We have taken community feedback onboard and are now ready to implement these changes.

We will be taking the **FLUF World** and **Altered State Machine** Discord servers into maintenance mode on **Sunday 10AM PT / Monday 5AM NZT**. During this period, the #🌐・general channel will be put into slow mode, and the only other accessible channel will be #🎫・open-a-ticket.

The **FLUF World** server will re-launch as **Futureverse**, the home of all things creative, gaming, and experiences.

The **Altered State Machine** server will be re-launched as **The Root Network**, the home of all things technical, tokenomics, and protocols.

***Note:** ASM AI Experiences and Games, including TNL, AIFA and AI League will have a new home in the Futureverse server. The ASM AI Protocol and ASTO discussions will continue to live in this server once it is relaunched as The Root Network.*

The **Seekers**, **ATEM Car Club**, and **AI League: FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ Edition** servers will be locked from **Sunday 10PM PT / Monday 5PM NZT**, and direct people to the relevant server depending on their interests.

Thank you for your patience while we undertake these changes, we think you’ll be happy with the result! <:PepeLuvThis:1050305671477854238>

@everyone, now live: https://therootnetwork.com 🌌

More than just a blockchain, The Root Network enables seamless user experience and asset interoperability across the Open Metaverse.

The FuturePass update is now complete and all services are back up and running normally. Thank you for your patience while we roll out this important update! <:PepeLuvThis:1050305671477854238>

We are currently working on implementing some final updates and as such the affected web services will remain in maintenance mode until these have been completed. We will update you again shortly on when we expect to bring all these services back online. Thank you for your patience.

<:FV:1077823321825095690> **FuturePass Update** <:FV:1077823321825095690>

@everyone the first FuturePass optimization begins tomorrow. We’re updating FuturePass from an EVM-based implementation to a built-in native component of The Root Network. This update will deliver cheaper gas fees and security improvements.

The native integration will also mean that your existing FuturePass address will change to a new  `0xFFFFFFF` number. You will see this when using experiences with FuturePass integrated, such as Gods & Goblins, The Next Legends, ATEM, the Underground, the FuturePass dashboard, and more to come.

This new `0xFFFFFFF` format ensures FuturePass addresses are easily identified in your wallet.

To complete this update, FuturePass will go into maintenance mode for an estimated 5 hours from <t:1686690000:f> (Tues 2pm PT / Wed 9am NZT). During this time, you will not be able to access FuturePass via the website, or experiences with FuturePass integrated. 

Thank you for your patience while we roll out this important update. <:PepeLuvThis:1050305671477854238> 

❓ **FAQs** ❓

1. **Do I have to do anything?**
No, this update will be completed automatically. This is just to inform you of the changes.

2. **Which experiences will be affected by the maintenance?**
Gods & Goblins, The Next Legends, ATEM, The Underground, FuturePass dashboard
    
3. **Will my old FuturePass address still work?**
Your old FuturePass address is still valid. However, if you send something to your old address, you won’t be able to access it on your dashboard.
If, in the near future once the transfer function is live, if you accidentally send something to your old account, please log a ticket in Discord. We will rerun the migration and send the assets to your new FuturePass account. 
    
4. **Does this affect my ETH wallet address?**
No, this only impacts your FuturePass address.
    
5. **How long will the maintenance last?** 
We estimate that maintenance will take 5 hours, and will keep you posted on any deviation from this timeline.
    
6. **Does this allow us to merge multiple wallets into one FuturePass account?**
Not yet, but that feature is currently in development.

Hey @everyone, time to give you an update on all things Futureverse Community!

As we have now completed the Futureverse roll-up and established our new organisational structure, I’m happy to introduce our new Futureverse Community Management & Support Team!

**VP Community** - @​monkey_business 

**Community Managers** - @​somnium_magnus, @​monty277, @​mofluf 

**Community Specialist** - @​icenz, @​genesisbrian, @​thesudio 

**Product Support Manager** - @​daredevildan

**Support Specialist** - @​daxdnz, @​hefsaffa

While bringing all the different companies together under Futureverse will allow us to operate more efficiently and effectively as one single team, there have unfortunately been some redundancies across the original constituent organisations due to overlap.

I want to take a moment to thank those community managers and moderators who will be leaving us. Thank you all for your tireless service of this community, and we hope to still see you within the community!

**Discord Restructure**

We are looking to consolidate our Discord servers into two, one focused on all things assets/games/experiences, and one focused on all things tech/protocols/tokenomics.

We want feedback from you in this process to ensure we design our new Discord servers in a manner which will best serve you, our community. If you’d like to read more about our proposed structure and have your say, you can do so here: https://fluf-world.typeform.com/discord

**Coordinated Comms**

We are aware that with many different brands and media channels, it can often be difficult to find relevant updates or announcements. We are working on a solution to solve this and provide a single source of truth for all news across the Futureverse ecosystem. Alongside this we will be launching a comms calendar to allow you all to easily keep up to date on all our comms content, including AMAs, podcasts, spaces, and dedicated times for more casual discussions within Discord with key team members.

**Community 1:1s**

I will continue to host 1:1s with the anyone from the community who wishes to speak with me directly. If you’d like to book a 1:1 with me, you can do so here: https://calendly.com/alexsmeele/community

We thank you all for your patience with us while we work to implement our new systems, processes, and tools which will pave the way for the next chapter of this incredible community!

> Paddi is a futuristic take on an old arcade classic, but with one very distinct and unique difference: You don’t control your paddle, you train an ASM Brain which operates your paddle. The paddle becomes an AI Agent.

@everyone step into the ring of the **Muhammad Ali - The Next Legends Garage**, the ultimate battleground for car enthusiasts and thrill-seekers alike. This is not your ordinary garage; it's a sanctuary where champions rise to conquer the world.

Inside the Garage, the roar of engines and the smell of burning rubber will ignite your senses. Challenge your friends at the arcade machine, where victory awaits those with lightning-fast reflexes. Immerse yourself in a library bursting with heart-pounding video content and adrenaline-pumping trailers that will have you on the edge of your seat.

Take a seat at the magazine table, where you can catch up on the latest issues of Under The Hood and Probably Nothing Newsletters, packed with the latest news. And for the strategic minds among you, the drawing table awaits, adorned with blueprints to dissect and analyze, giving you the edge over the competition.

Access to this extraordinary Garage is exclusively reserved for either club members (ATEM) and those who pack a punch (TNL), embodying the spirit of boxing and the determination to rise to the top.

@everyone 

<:FV:1077823321825095690> **WELCOME TO FUTUREVERSE** <:FV:1077823321825095690> 

Today, we’re proud to announce our ecosystem-wide roll-up is complete. Together officially now as Futureverse, we’re in the best position to deliver on our mission to empower the next generation of creators through a world-class open metaverse infrastructure and rich content experiences.

This process is one that wouldn’t have been possible without the diligent work of our team, the patience of our community, and the shared belief in what we’re building together. Thank you to everyone for bearing with us through this period, and we can’t wait for the exciting next chapter ahead.

Bringing 11 separate companies together into a single organisation is a complex task, to say the least. With these organisations of varying sizes, overlapping departments have been consolidated to optimise our productivity and efficiency. We are also shifting our focus to the next phase of our plan; moving from creating characters and content, to activating content in applications, experiences and networks, while simultaneously scaling our users and enabling our community to become creators. As can be expected, this has meant the unfortunate loss of some staff from the respective entities who came together. This is a difficult process for all involved; however, it is essential to ensure we are well-placed to scale and bring the Futureverse technology to the world.

As always, we’d love to hear from you if you have any questions. You can send any feedback to feedback@futureverse.com

The Futureverse Team ❤️

Your first challenge was to create The Next Legends Pro Boxers using our new character creator DOT mixer technology. Now, your second challenge awaits... <a:wavy:883392172181848124>

@everyone here’s everything you need to know about The Root Network second challenge -

1️⃣ **Muhammad Ali - The Next Legends Pro Boxer holders will be able to complete this challenge by bridging one boxer from Ethereum to The Root Network.**

2️⃣ **Create a FuturePass or log in to your existing FuturePass to use our Ethereum bridge here** - https://bit.ly/FuturePass

3️⃣ **From your Stuff page, click on the bridge icon to move one TNL Pro Boxer to The Root Network.**

4️⃣ **You will be eligible for 100 $ROOT per boxer you own, but you only need to bridge one boxer per wallet to unlock your total reward.**

5️⃣ **This challenge closes on <t:1685484000> at which point a snapshot will be taken and the $ROOT tokens will begin distribution. If you have completed the challenge, rewards will be based on the number of boxers you hold at the time of the snapshot.**

6️⃣ **As a show of thanks for helping us test the bridge, we will also be distributing sufficient XRP to every wallet that completes the challenge for them to bridge their Boxer back to Ethereum, should they choose to.**

7️⃣ **Feeling unsure and want to know more? Join the chat in #🌐・settled-world for support.**

🥊 **The Root Network x The Next Legends - DOT Mixer Challenge FAQs**🥊 

After our launch of the first The Root Network challenge yesterday, we’ve received great feedback from the community and have prepared some FAQs for @everyone to address the key questions.

❓ **What is the current challenge?**
This first The Root Network x The Next Legends challenge is an opportunity for people who tested our DOT mixer technology when minting their TNL Pro Pack to earn a $ROOT token reward.

❓ **How do I complete the challenge?**
If you haven’t created a FuturePass, visit https://futurepass.futureverse.app/ and activate your FuturePass using the wallet you used to participate in the TNL mint. If you already have a FuturePass, log in via https://futurepass.futureverse.app/.

Once you’re in the dashboard, you should see the pop-up saying you’ve completed the TNL challenge. You don’t need to do anything more.

You will not receive your $ROOT tokens immediately; they will be distributed on the 8th of May US / 9th of May NZ.

Please note that Chrome is the preferred browser for FuturePass.

❓ **How long is this challenge open for?**
This first challenge closes on the 8th of May US / 9th of May NZ, at which point the first $ROOT tokens will be distributed.

❓ **What happens if I don’t take any action before the challenge closes?**
If you don’t log into the FuturePass dashboard before the challenge closes on the 8th of May US / 9th of May NZ, you will forfeit your potential rewards for this challenge.

❓ **How much $ROOT can I earn?**
100 $ROOT for every TNL Pro Pack minted.

❓ **What can I do with my $ROOT tokens?**
We will be releasing the ability to stake $ROOT tokens to secure The Root Network and earn additional rewards very soon. We are also working on a marketplace to allow you to buy and sell assets using $ROOT, a DEX (decentralized exchange) to allow trading of $ROOT for other tokens, and token bridging to allow you to bridge your tokens back to the Ethereum network. More details on these product rollouts will follow shortly.

❓ **I minted my TNL Boxer with one wallet but have since transferred it to another. Which wallet do I use?**
Your $ROOT reward is linked to the wallet used for minting.

❓ **I sold my TNL Boxer already. Can I still participate?**
Yes, you will still be rewarded in this challenge for participating in the mint. However, you won’t be able to participate in future TNL challenges to earn rewards without owning the relevant assets.

❓ **I bought my TNL Boxer on secondary after the mint. Can I still participate?**
Not for this challenge. The first rewards are for those who tested our DOT mixer technology when minting their TNL Pro Pack. However, Pro Boxers that were bought on the secondary market will be able to participate in the upcoming bridging challenge.

❓ **I have TNL Boxers across multiple wallets. Can I merge them all into one FuturePass?**
The next major release for FuturePass will give you the ability to link multiple different wallets to a single FuturePass. In the meantime, if you minted Pro Boxers using multiple wallets, then you’ll have to set up a FuturePass for each.

❓ **Why is this called a “challenge”?**
We’re asking the community to help us with tasks on our network, and as a reward for completing these tasks, we’re giving them $ROOT tokens. These first challenges are very simple and help us test the rollout of our new tools, as well as the challenge framework itself. Over time, challenges will take multiple different forms, and some will be much more challenging.

❓ **What other challenges are coming?**
The second The Root Network x The Next Legends challenge will allow users to unlock additional $ROOT rewards by bridging their TNL Pro Boxers to The Root Network. This challenge will launch after the first challenge closes on the 8th of May US / 9th of May NZ. More details on this will follow soon.

There will be plenty of other challenges and opportunities to unlock $ROOT tokens in the near future.

<:FutureBlurpleFur:1055242572831928402> **FUTUREVERSE ANNOUNCEMENT**  <:FutureBlurpleFur:1055242572831928402>

The original Futureverse whitepaper proposed some distribution mechanics for the ROOT token that were subject to community and regulatory feedback. 

Based on this feedback, we’re pleased to have adapted the original draft structure to set up The Root Network for long-term success. 

The changes include a 100% increase to the community rewards, which will also drive participation from the community to build out The Root Network ecosystem and ensure that both new and long-term holders are able to participate in rewards. 

We’re also introducing the FutureScore system, which is designed to make The Root Network into a game, where your collectables play a role in the rewards you receive. This novel approach forms a kind of ‘proof of work’ for token decentralization. This is on top of the base layer of rewards from being a network validator or staking in the security of The Root Network.

<:FV_BlurpleFur:1055232993062551562> https://www.futureverse.com/whitepaper
<:FutureBlurpleFur:1055242572831928402> https://www.futureverse.com/whitepaper#root-token-economy

❓

**FAQs**

<:Frame:879938520402239558> **Why are you making changes to the whitepaper?**

The original whitepaper had some proposed distribution mechanics for the ROOT token subject to community and regulatory feedback. We are pleased to have adapted the original draft structure based on this feedback to set The Root Network up for long-term success. We’ve now updated the whitepaper with the latest token details.


<:Frame:879938520402239558> **Will there be further changes to the whitepaper?**

The fundamental concepts and themes outlined in the Futureverse whitepaper will remain unchanged, but we may want to update certain details to reflect our evolving understanding of the web3 audience, industry, and technology. We will ensure that we communicate any changes (and their rationale) in advance.

<:Frame:879938520402239558> **What is FutureScore, and how is it calculated?**

The FutureScore is a mechanism within the Futurepass technology and will be calculated based on things like the type of assets you hold, the number of assets you hold, how long you have held them, the rarity of those assets, the activities those assets have been involved with, along with other contributions players have made to growing the ecosystem, such as social media activity. The score is dynamic, will evolve over time, and will be influenced based on your participation.

<:Frame:879938520402239558> **What happens to my FutureScore if I’ve had to move my assets between wallets?**

Your FutureScore won't be affected if you've had to move your assets between wallets, provided your wallets are associated with the same FuturePass.

<:Frame:879938520402239558> **When will FutureScore be active?**

The FutureScore feature and ability to link wallets will be part of the next major FuturePass release. Further details on these features will be made public before the release.

Have a wonderful day @everyone!! <:Love:920567043391119360>
