Get ready for 77-Bit, a cyberpunk MMORPG breaking the limits of what’s possible in browser gaming.

This January.

[GenesysGo @GenesysGo]

The latest version of the shdwDrive app is ready for download! Please see the releases page on the official GenesysGo GitHub repository: https://t.co/bEYZbkr7j5

With this latest release, we’ve pushed live limited time staking gifts to those shdwOperators running the shdwDrive app and contributing storage!

This limited time staking gift is ONLY available to those running the shdwDrive app and staking is ONLY possible through the app itself.

This gift will deliver a small amount of $SHDW for as long as the pool lasts. This is a minimal feature release. Meaning that you should not expect dashboards or tracking for staking.

We are providing this gift as a thank you to those helping to power the network and these tokens were purchased from the open markets the same way anyone would. These thank you gifts enables us to continue rolling out the infrastructure for user payments and shdwOperator distributions of user-generated fees while demonstrating our appreciation to those operators who continue to support the network!

This is NOT a staking reward designed to reward or incentivize token holders. This is meant to show appreciation to shdwOperators and incentivize participation in the network.

With this deployed, our team will now be focused on implementing the feedback from all of the shdwOperators that has been collected since the initial deployment.

Our goal from here is to push small easily digestible bug fixes and features releases each week. We don’t want users waiting on big updates that take months to deploy. Weekly releases allow users, operators, and the community to actively participate in the progression of the shdwDrive app as it happens.

We have big things planned this year, both as relates to shdwDrive and also as relates to the #AI initiative being worked on behind the scenes. 2025 is going to be an exciting year for #Solana, #web3, and #DePIN !

Introducing shdwDrive v2: A Thoughtful, Phased Rollout for a Better Experience

Today marks the beginning of shdwDrive v2's release!

We've chosen to implement a phased roll-out that moves us toward production-readiness through a deliberate, thoughtful approach. This strategy isn’t just about caution; it’s about delivering a meaningful and positive experience for shdwOperators, #Solana developers planning to use the shdwDrive platform, and the individual user!

The shdwDrive app is downloadable on any Android device and can be found here: https://t.co/31fdzg01eR
Simply follow the link on your Android device (iOS coming soon), allow the download, and that's it! You're ready to become a shdwOperator!

Why a Phased Rollout?
In network development, slow and steady wins the race. A phased rollout is an industry-standard best practice that gives the network time to stabilize. This ensures stability before introducing we introduce staking, rewards, and new tools. This measured rollout approach helps ensure that when you start staking $SHDW to contribute storage from your mobile devices and earn your portion of network generated fees—the experience is consistent, reliable, and free from the bugs that plagued participants in things like shdwDrive's Testnet2.

Staking & Initial Rewards: A Better Start
On January 6, barring no unforeseen issues, we’ll introduce shdwOperator staking, staking rewards distribution, and our CLI/SDK! We learned a lot from shdwDrive's Testnet2, where payout issues surfaced due to underlying network bugs. The goal of letting the network soak through the holidays before deploying shdwOperator staking & rewards is to ensure that shdwOperators have a consistent and reliable experience in the distribution of rewards. Even though shdwOperators aren't having to go out and rent expensive servers for an additional cost to themselves, we still want a much smoother experience than last time!

Similar to Testnet2, the GenesysGo team is donating SHDW tokens that we purchased in the open markets (just like anyone else would have to) as a gift to the early adopters who are helping to bootstrap the shdwDrive v2 network! Your help is incredibly valuable and want this experience to be meaningful for the community of shdwOperators while the rest of the payments infrastructure is finalized and new users come onboard.

***To earn shdwOperator rewards, you MUST actually BE a shdwOperator!***

Meaning, you must be contributing storage space from your mobile device and in order to do that you must be meeting the staking requirements. Stake SHDW -> Contribute storage -> Earn the gift of SHDW! Rewards are limited and not indefinite... and the staking mechanics is simple: the more SHDW you stake and the more uptime you accumulate (starting now!) the more gifts that are programmatically distributed to you by the Solana on-chain program that owns the staking vault. Meaning, gifts are first come, first served. The longer you are connected to the network, starting now, the better! And, thanks to shdwDrive v2's mobile device only architecture, becoming a shdwOperator is as simple as downloading the app and turning it on! Download, activate, set it and forget it, earn. It's that simple.

TL;DR - Staked SHDW + Uptime accumulated (staring now!) = a greater share of the pool!

Prioritizing Developers & Users
The goal of letting the network soak before deploying the CLI and SDK is similar. When the CLI and SDK are released, we want to be able to fully prioritize any issues or bugs that developers in the #Solana ecosystem report to us and fix them right away (rather than developers having to wait indeterminant amounts of time for bugs to be fixed). By waiting to roll out the CLI and SDK, we can focus on addressing bugs as they arise, ensuring developers have the tools they need without unnecessary delays.

Customer Payments and Decentralized Revenue Distribution
We heard your feedback with some of the less than smooth rollouts in the past and by implementing a more phased rollout for shdwDrive v2, this will give us the opportunity to ensure that you all get the user, operator, and developer experience you deserve.

The last thing we want is to have the launch of shdwDrive v2 marred by issues that affect paying customers or the operators earning their share of user generated revenues. Hence why we are gifting shdwOperators tokens in the meantime, to ensure they know how much we value their help! As soon as we feel confident that the network, the CLI/SDK, and the features of the app are in a solid place, we'll be updating the payment plans and the on-chain Solana programs needed to power customer payments and the trustless fully programmatic distribution of those payments to shdwOperators. In the meantime, customers will all have access to the lowest free tier of storage to begin using the app today!

Of course, that leaves the outstanding question of how does staking work when customer payments and programmatic revenue distributions work when they go live?

App Store Listings!
App store listings are being processed and we are excited to say that the shdwDrive app will be listed on all three major app stores soon!

Continuous Improvements & Future Plans
Through all of these steps, minor feature upgrades and releases will be deployed just as soon as they are completed. However, once all of the above has been fully deployed in the near future, the team will be fully dedicated to feature updates and rolling out the litany of premium services planned for shdwDrive v2! We have a list of feature deployments that we are very excited about, ranging from multi-user file sharing/editing to platform integrations and everything in-between!

A Better Experience for Everyone
All of this is to say that we have listened to your feedback on past rollouts. This phased deployment is a strategic decision to ensure a seamless experience for everyone: users, operators, and developers alike. It's to ensure that all steps are forwards and none are backwards. The future of shdwDrive v2 and #DePIN is bright, and by taking things step-by-step, we’re ensuring that shdwOperators, users, developers, and all of #web3 are being given a platform built to last.

🇮🇹 TUSCANY FLOOD EMERGENCY: TOWNS SUBMERGED | ROADS TURNED TO RIVERS

Intense rainfall has devastated Tuscany, with towns including Riparbella, Castellina Marittima, Santa Luce, Montescudaio, and Terricciola under floodwaters as rivers and canals overflow.

Roads are impassable, homes are flooded, and emergency services are stretched thin. In Le Badie, floodwaters trapped a woman in her car on a submerged road before she was rescued, underscoring the storm’s severity.

Local authorities urge residents to stay indoors as heavy rain continues to batter the region.
