🔱 Chapter 1: 21 Relics of the Ocean 🔱
Explorers, the Atlantic Crossing Begins.
In the heart of the Pharos, 21 relics begin to surface. Each one carries a story, a symbol, and a challenge.
This journey was built with 21 DApps, inviting explorers to earn soul-bound relics that belong only to those who’ve shown true loyalty and meaningful contribution to the ecosystem.
🌊 21 Relics
🌊 21 Partner DApps
🌊 21 mystery quests
🌊 300 SBT/relic
The first batch begins with 8 partners and will be open for only 2 weeks. Quest 1 will drop tomorrow.

Node Runner Season One is over. Here are a few highlights:
- Total Node Runners: 560,000+
- Quests completed: 2 million+
- Points distributed: 15 billion+
- Glyphs minted: 765,000+
When we looked at consistent uptime — the metric that truly separates node runners from spectators — a clear winner emerged.
Crew ACK, leveraging its high percentage of Validator/Node Operator runners, demonstrated unparalleled endurance and technical stability.
ACK: Led the daily uptime ranking for 14 out of the 21 days of the Gridcrew competition, accumulating 333 hours as the leader (68.66%).
FIN: Showed strong operational discipline, holding the top spot for 151 hours.
SYN: SYN led the daily rankings for only one single hour across the entire competition, holding the top spot for zero full days.
Congrats to the ACK crew and thanks to all Node Runners for participating.
