I’ve already addressed these concerns on Discord. At the moment, we’re in a pause phase for Cult. In terms of potential launches, we don’t see any projects right now that are strong enough to incubate apart from the ones we’re already in discussions with nor do we see a strong different strategy to be executed and put our resources into right now given the context of things
The current meme market on monad isn’t in a healthy state, so we’re taking our time to reassess and carefully evaluate the situation with a community-first mindset.
Meanwhile, Monadverse will continue operating actively focusing on brand building and community growth at a measured pace so we’re well positioned to capitalize when conditions improve.
Why are you attacking me and then deleting your tweets, @andalfthegreat?
TL;DR:
- The money went to the team.
- According to the founder, the money did not belong to the community, they were just generating money from NFTs.
- I am "not an experienced founder", yet everyone who minted my project didn’t lose a penny, while everyone who bought Spiky lost money.
After the mint, they went completely silent, and a month later, they shut down.
That being said, failures are part of the process, but not even trying IS NOT.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Spiky started two years ago because we were genuinely inspired by how the Monad community was built, how unhinged and real it was, and how people cared for each other.
We wanted to build something that felt worthy of that energy and add our own twist to it. For a long time, especially pre mainnet, that worked. We built, experimented, hosted, shipped, and shared a lot of real moments together. Spiky became a constant in the eco.
Since moving to mainnet, for reasons both in and outside our control, we have not been able to bring that vision to life. The potential was there and we failed to realize it. That reality is painful for us, and we know it has been frustrating for our community as well.
After a lot of thought, we have made the difficult decision to pause development of Spiky indefinitely.
We will distribute the entirety of the remaining 2.5 million $MON in the Spiky treasury to our holders. A snapshot will be taken on January 26 and each wallet will receive $MON per Spiky held.
Our team has spent the last two years deeply committed to Monad and its ecosystem. Some of us walked away from jobs to build here, and we never approached Spiky with extractive intent. That doesn't change now. The core team didn't take any profits from the treasury.
Thank you to everyone who believed in us and allowed us to chase this dream with you. While this chapter closes, we will continue to be active in Monad and support the people and projects building toward its future.

@KGdotmon @leysbobr @spiky_xyz Never ego driven, asking a genuine question and get kick out of the discord channel
Supported spiky but being treated like shit
Maybe why you guys failed, we failed
Issokay we can always blame cancer
Asking for clarification from @spiky_xyz@andalfthegreat and @KGdotmon
Answer: got kicked out from the dc servers
Just asking the mint funds and what happened since they just randomly say i give up 🤦♀️
Quiet after getting all the mint fees
And crying i am sick all day time
Gspirits! 👻🔥
Grinding hard for @SpiritsOfMonad and things are looking really good.
Our self-learning AI opponent is currently being pushed to its limits and honestly, it’s performing damn well 🥳
Had to tweak a few parts of the game logic, but overall the results are very promising.
Next step: bringing in community testers 👀
If everything goes well, we’ll be able to start the Pre-Alpha soon and gather real player feedback.
Next phase:
→ Polish the AI story mode (performance & behavior)
→ Collect and iterate on community feedback
Build. Test. Improve. Repeat. 💜🎴

🗓️ Weekly Insight — Spirits Battle
💬 Social & Player Systems
This week we introduced several new social features to make the game feel more connected and community-driven:
Global Chat — players can now talk to the entire playerbase in-game
Guild System — create or join guilds and build communities inside the game
Guild Chat — private chat space for guild members
Friends System — add friends, chat privately
Friend Matches — challenge your friends directly to duels
Referral System — invite new players and earn rewards together
The goal is to make Spirits Battle feel like a living world — not just a game you play, but a place you connect.
🤖 AI Development
While building these systems, our self-learning AI continued running in the background and training throughout the day.
This AI helps us test, balance, and simulate gameplay — constantly improving over time.
🔗 Solana Integration
Big progress on the Solana side as well:
We’ve integrated a Solana betting contract
This now moves into the testing phase
We’re also preparing to deploy NFTs on Solana
This means Spirits Battle will support betting in both MON and SOL — expanding accessibility and multichain capability.
🎯 Focus Going Forward
Next steps include:
Testing & refining the Solana betting contract
Balancing the new social systems
Expanding AI training & match simulation
Continuing to polish gameplay flow
We keep building — step by step, consistently.
Day 3
Today, Spirit finally found it.
Not a path. Not a corridor.
A gateway.
It didn’t demand attention —
it simply stood there,
quiet and certain.
You could tell others had crossed before:
travellers, makers, wanderers.
Spirit stopped for a heartbeat,
breathed in the stillness,
and stepped forward.
To be continued.☀️
DAY 2
The signal didn’t fade.
It became clearer.
Our little traveler followed it through the networks...
passing old routes, familiar bridges,
and places it had seen many times before.
But this path felt different.
Smooth. Steady. Built for scale.
“If this is where the future is heading…
I want to see it first.”
And so the journey continued...☀️
Merry Christmas everyone 🎅✨
Hope you’re all having a peaceful time with family, friends, good food and zero stress.
This year has been a crazy ride! building, learning, fixing, improving... and I’m super grateful for everyone who’s been part of the journey so far.
Thank you for the support, the feedback, the patience and the good vibes.
Enjoy the holidays! ❤️
Much 💕
