This morning, the blockchain game The Beacon, known in the Chinese community as the "Lighthouse," which has received funding from the Arbitrum Foundation, announced on platform X that its first season has officially launched, with a total prize pool of 7.7 million BCN. Below, Odaily Planet Daily provides a step-by-step participation tutorial and a gameplay guide based on first-hand experience.

Step-by-Step Participation Tutorial

STEP 1. Go to the game interface (link: https://app.thebeacon.gg/season-one), click "Sign in" to log in using your Web3 wallet.

STEP 2. For an optimal gaming experience, download the game from the EPIC store (you can also try it in the web browser first).

STEP 3. Click "PLAY" to enter the game. Use "W, S, A, D" keys to move your character "up, down, left, right".

Additionally, for $19.9, you can purchase a "Starter Pack" which includes 2000 Glint, Premium Chests, and other rewards.

Game Guide

For The Beacon Season One, the current participation methods are shown in the image below, which we will explain one by one in the following sections.

Operational Guide

Currently, there are only two routes to play in The Beacon Season One. First, going straight up on the game's main page leads to the "Dungeon." Clear the dungeon to earn Umbral Shards, which can be exchanged for Umbral Chests.

Each entry into the dungeon consumes 20 Stamina (users start with 100 Stamina). You can choose between a bow or a dagger as your weapon to challenge the game and earn Umbral Shards.

Second, going all the way to the right on the game's main page leads to "Kraken Klash," where you bet on which grid will be randomly selected. Guessing correctly rewards you with Goblin Tokens (An NPC in Kraken Klash provides the exchange rates for Umbral Shards, Goblin Tokens, and Glint).

Chests and Rewards

Season One rewards are divided into Cosmetics and BCN tokens. For free-to-play users, cosmetics are account-bound; for Premium users, cosmetics are NFTs. Players can become Premium users by purchasing the "Starter Pack."

Furthermore, Chests are the primary means of obtaining rewards this season. There are 3 types of chests, specifically:

1、Umbral Chests: Obtained by collecting Umbral Shards. These chests contain Cosmetics and a small amount of BCN token rewards.

Umbral Chests have a free version and a premium version. In the free version, the probability for an Umbral Chest to be Common is 59.06%; Rare is 30.94%; Epic is 8.00%; Legendary is 2.00%, and it will drop 1 to 3 Cosmetics.

In the premium version, the chest tier probabilities and the number of cosmetic drops are the same, but there is an additional chance to receive BCN tokens: 65% chance for 0 BCN; 25% chance for 1 BCN; 9% chance for 5 BCN; 1% chance for 30 BCN.

2、Kraken Chests: Obtained by collecting Goblin Tokens. These chests contain exclusive Cosmetics and a larger amount of BCN token rewards.

Kraken Chests have a free version and a premium version. In the free version, the probability for a Kraken Chest to be Common is 37%; Rare is 44%; Epic is 13%; Legendary is 6%, and it will drop 3 Cosmetics.

In the premium version, the chest tier probabilities and the number of cosmetic drops are the same, but there is an additional chance to receive BCN tokens: 37% chance for 5 BCN; 30% chance for 10 BCN; 22% chance for 21 BCN; 8.5% chance for 50 BCN; 2.5% chance for 210 BCN.

3、Glint Chests: Obtained by collecting Glint. These chests contain exclusive Cosmetics and a larger amount of BCN token rewards.

Glint Chests only have a premium version. The probability for a Glint Chest to be Common is 37%; Rare is 44%; Epic is 13%; Legendary is 6%, and it will drop 3 Cosmetics. Additionally, there is a chance to receive BCN tokens: 48% chance for 4 BCN; 30% chance for 7 BCN; 15% chance for 12 BCN; 6% chance for 30 BCN; 1% chance for 100 BCN.

In summary, there are 4 types of tokens in the game: Umbral Shards, Goblin Tokens, Glint, and BCN tokens. A stable way to farm is by clearing dungeons to earn Umbral Shards and exchange them for Umbral Chests; participating in Kraken Klash is a "luck-based" game that requires consuming Goblin Tokens (which can be obtained from Umbral Shards). Winning can earn you more Goblin Tokens, but losing means losing your stake, with no guarantee.

Base Under Pressure

**Title: The Pressure Mounts for Base** Base, the Ethereum Layer 2 scaling solution backed by Coinbase, is facing significant pressure and public scrutiny from its leadership following the launch of Robinhood Chain. Base co-founder Jesse Pollak recently acknowledged strategic missteps, admitting that the chain's past focus on social and creator tokens (e.g., through Farcaster, Zora) failed to deliver sustainable adoption. He has refocused on core infrastructure, handing leadership of the Base App back to Coinbase's Cobie. While Base remains a top L2 contender alongside OP Mainnet and Arbitrum, and boasts the highest TVL (nearly $12B), its weaknesses are being highlighted by the new competitor. Key criticisms include its slow progress on decentralization. Base has faced issues with its single sequencer causing block production halts, and L2BEAT is reportedly considering downgrading its decentralization rating from Stage 1 to Stage 0. This contrasts sharply with the rapid initial success of Robinhood Chain, whose DEX quickly entered the top five by volume. The leadership styles of the parent companies are also being compared: Robinhood's CEO actively engages with new projects, while a recent incident where Coinbase's Brian Armstrong briefly changed his profile picture—sparking and then crashing a related meme token—drew community ire and mockery. Pollak stated Base is working with Coinbase on tokenized stocks backed 1:1 by real equity, differentiating it from Robinhood's derivatives model. However, the article argues that Base's most urgent task is to address its long-standing technical and trust issues. With more traditional finance players likely to emulate Robinhood's path, Base must use this competitive pressure to solidify its position as long-term financial infrastructure.

White House Concession Removes Ethical Hurdle, Clarity Act Races Against Final Window Before Recess?

On July 21st, industry sources reported that the Trump administration has agreed to include an ethics provision in the "Clarity Act" (Digital Asset Market Clarity Act of 2025). This concession addresses the long-standing conflict-of-interest concerns regarding government officials and the crypto industry, potentially removing the final major obstacle to the bill's progress. Additionally, Patrick Witt, the executive director of the White House's Digital Asset Advisory Committee, confirmed he will remain in his role to help finalize the bill, alleviating previous concerns about his potential departure. The Clarity Act aims to establish a unified federal regulatory framework for the U.S. digital asset market. Its core objective is to resolve regulatory ambiguity by defining different types of digital assets (digital commodities, investment contract assets, and permitted payment stablecoins) and clarifying the respective oversight roles of the SEC and CFTC. This would end the long-running jurisdictional dispute between the two agencies and provide clearer compliance paths for the industry. With the ethics issue moving toward resolution, the most urgent challenge now is time. The U.S. Congress is set to begin its August recess in mid-August, leaving only a few working weeks to finalize the text and advance the bill through the Senate. Industry advocates, like the Blockchain Association's Kristin Smith, stress that this is a critical moment. If negotiations conclude successfully in the coming weeks, the Clarity Act could pass a key hurdle before the recess; otherwise, it may face significant delays. If enacted, the Clarity Act could mark a historic turning point in crypto regulation. By providing a clearer and more predictable legal framework, it aims to reduce uncertainty for businesses, developers, and traditional financial institutions looking to enter the digital asset space, potentially setting a global benchmark for market structure regulation.

AI Era, Industrial Revolution, and Future Civilization Interview — Zhang Dingwen: The Future Does Not Belong to Chasers

"AI Era, Industrial Revolution and Future Civilization: An Interview with Zhang Dingwen – The Future Does Not Belong to Those Who Chase" In this interview, entrepreneur Zhang Dingwen reflects on his entrepreneurial journey and philosophy, moving beyond discussions of financing or success to emphasize understanding the "era" itself. He argues that true entrepreneurs should not chase short-term trends ("winds"), but position themselves in the direction of long-term technological and societal evolution. Zhang shares key lessons from his early days, including the realization that user value does not automatically translate to commercial value. For him, the core of entrepreneurship is not building a company but constantly upgrading one's own "cognition" – the ability to interpret information, ask the right questions, and understand the underlying "causes" behind business outcomes, not just the effects. His thinking has evolved from a focus on creating good products to a strategic focus on building "entrances" – platforms that naturally connect users to digital services. He sees smart wearables, like watches, not merely as hardware but as potential future gateways combining technological, financial, social, and even fashion attributes to create sustained user relationships and ecosystems. Ultimately, Zhang's vision transcends individual products or companies. He discusses business competition in three stages: product, platform, and finally, "civilization" – where the greatest companies influence how society operates by defining new rules and ways of life. He believes the mission of a truly great enterprise is to solve problems of its time, build enduring trust, and contribute lasting value, leaving behind not just wealth but a positive impact on how the world works. The future, he concludes, belongs not to the fastest, but to those with the correct long-term direction and a commitment to continuous learning and evolution.
