"The Beacon" Season 1 is now live with a 7.7 million BCN prize pool. This guide provides a tutorial and gameplay strategies. To start, players must sign in via a Web3 wallet at the official app, download the game via the Epic Store for optimal experience, and control their character using WASD keys. An optional $19.99 "Starter Pack" provides 2000 Glint and premium chests. Gameplay currently offers two main paths. First, the "Dungeon" (up from spawn) costs 20 Stamina per run to earn Shadow Shards, which exchange for Umbra Chests. Second, "Kraken Klash" (right from spawn) is a betting mini-game using Goblin Tokens to guess correct tiles for rewards. Rewards consist of Cosmetics and BCN tokens. Free players receive account-bound cosmetics, while Starter Pack purchasers ("Premium" players) receive tradable NFT cosmetics. The season features three chest types: 1. **Umbra Chests** (from Shadow Shards): Contain cosmetics and small BCN amounts (Premium only). 2. **Kraken Chests** (from Goblin Tokens): Contain exclusive cosmetics and larger BCN amounts (Premium only). 3. **Glint Chests** (from Glint, premium currency): Contain exclusive cosmetics and the largest BCN amounts (Premium only). Each chest type (Umbra, Kraken, Glint) has detailed rarity probabilities (Common, Rare, Epic, Legendary) and BCN reward distributions listed for free and premium versions. The four in-game currencies are: Shadow Shards, Goblin Tokens, Glint, and BCN. A stable earning method is farming dungeon...

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.

SEC Slams the Brakes at the Last Minute, Halting "Tokenized U.S. Stocks"

On May 22, the U.S. SEC postponed the release of a key "innovation exemption" draft that would have permitted crypto-native platforms to issue and trade tokenized U.S. stocks on decentralized venues without full traditional exchange compliance. This would have legalized a "third-party token" model used overseas, where platforms issue tokens tracking stock prices without the underlying company's involvement, raising unresolved questions about shareholder rights, dividends, and sanctions enforcement. Meanwhile, the SEC had already approved a different, compliant path for tokenization led by Nasdaq and NYSE. Their model integrates tokenized stocks into existing settlement systems (like DTCC), preserving all shareholder rights. This creates a fundamental conflict: crypto platforms seek a permissionless, 24/7 on-chain parallel market, while traditional exchanges advocate for an upgraded, regulated version of the current system. Intense lobbying from traditional exchange groups like the World Federation of Exchanges argued the exemption would create an unfair regulatory advantage and dilute investor protection. Even some compliant crypto firms favored delay. Internally, SEC commissioners were divided on the scope and pace of the exemption. The delay highlights a critical policy crossroads. With significant trading volume already occurring overseas, the SEC's decision will determine whether the U.S. embraces a dual-track system for tokenized equities or sidelines itself from an emerging global infrastructure. The core unresolved question remains the legal status and rights of holders of third-party tokenized stocks. The SEC paused because the draft framework risked creating a major new asset class with profound, unanswered legal implications.

Interview with the Founder of an AI-Focused Investment Fund: Forget the False Narrative of 100x Returns, What Crypto x AI Assets Are Worth Watching?

Interview with Austin Barack, founder of AI-focused fund Relayer Capital. He emphasizes prioritizing real value over hype, especially in the Crypto x AI sector. Key assets discussed include: * **Venice:** A private AI platform where user data isn't shared with model providers. Its unique two-token model (VVV and DM) provides sustainable, capped user incentives for computation. Rapid user growth (3M) and token usage (15x in months) suggest significant upside. * **Grass:** Sells high-quality, specialized web-scraped datasets to AI labs for model training. With ~$50M+ ARR and triple-digit growth, its ~$400M valuation is seen as undervalued. * **NEAR:** Praised for its superior cross-chain swap infrastructure via intents, positioning it as crucial infrastructure for AI agents and decentralized applications. * **Akash:** A decentralized GPU compute marketplace gaining traction, with visible usage on platforms like OpenRouter. * **Investment Framework:** Shift from generic "buyback-and-burn" narratives to analyzing the "net token value flow"—whether token holders genuinely capture value from the underlying business. Markets are consolidating around a smaller set of quality projects with strong fundamentals like Venice, Grass, and NEAR, making targeted investments more effective.

Is a Super IPO Wave Coming? Will It Drain and Crash the U.S. Stock Market?

The article discusses concerns about a potential "super IPO wave" hitting the U.S. stock market, with major companies like SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic preparing to go public. While these large IPOs could collectively raise hundreds of billions, raising fears of a market "blood drain," analysis suggests the impact may be limited. Key points include: * Historical data shows IPO waves often coincide with strong market returns, as they typically occur during periods of high investor demand. * Model estimates suggest even the largest IPOs might only cause a market dip of around 1%. They are more likely to trigger a routine market pullback rather than end a bull market. * The current demand side remains supportive due to high household cash balances, strong corporate earnings growth, continued stock fund inflows, and robust share buyback announcements. * The main risk lies in concentrated investor positions, particularly in large-cap tech stocks, which are at elevated levels. A shift in funds towards new issuances could pressure these crowded sectors. * Recent fund flows show strength concentrated in U.S. and tech stocks, while other regions like Europe and Japan are experiencing outflows. The conclusion is that the IPO wave itself is unlikely to crash the market unless it coincides with a weakening in underlying demand factors like earnings or fund inflows into U.S. equities. The focus should be on whether demand can continue to absorb the new supply.

Vitalik is Personally 'Dismantling' the Ethereum Foundation

Vitalik Buterin recently published an extensive article addressing core concerns about Ethereum's future direction and the role of the Ethereum Foundation (EF). He clarifies that the EF is not his personal domain nor the central authority of Ethereum; it operates as just one node within the broader ecosystem. The board makes collective decisions, with significant operational work led by Aya Miyaguchi, allowing Vitalik to focus on technical matters. The article critiques the perception that the EF should act like a conventional, fast-moving tech company. Buterin warns that merely chasing higher TPS, lower latency, or better marketing—like other chains—risks diluting Ethereum's foundational values. He draws a parallel to Google's evolution away from its "Don't be evil" ethos. Instead, the EF's renewed mandate is to focus on preserving and strengthening Ethereum's core principles, summarized as CROPS: **C**ensorship-resistance, **R**esistance to capture, **O**pen source, **P**rivacy, and **S**ecurity. The foundation will concentrate its limited resources (holding only ~0.16% of ETH) on these long-term, non-commercializable fundamentals, while ecosystem growth, applications, and market-facing activities should be driven by external teams and capital. Buterin outlines key technical priorities aligned with this vision: 1) Advancing formal verification to mathematically prove the absence of bugs; 2) Enhancing consensus security to maintain operation without reliance on social coordination during outages; and 3) Reducing dependency on intermediaries (like RPCs) to strengthen user sovereignty and privacy. He acknowledges ETH as Ethereum's most valuable asset, crucial for security, but stresses that promoting its value is a task for the wider ecosystem, not the EF. Ultimately, Buterin's message is a strategic refocus: the EF will become a smaller, more focused entity guarding Ethereum's essential, harder-to-achieve properties, ensuring it remains distinct not just in performance but in its commitment to decentralization, resistance, and security.

After Futu Securities Was Banned, Will Buying Stocks On-Chain Be a New Solution?

After Chinese regulators announced crackdowns on cross-border securities platforms like Futu Securities, some investors are exploring whether blockchain-based stock trading could offer an alternative. However, this article argues that "on-chain stocks" are not a legal loophole for mainland Chinese investors to bypass securities, foreign exchange, and cryptocurrency regulations. Instead, it represents an infrastructure experiment in tokenizing traditional assets like U.S. stocks and ETFs for a global audience. The appeal of on-chain stocks lies in offering a more seamless, 24/7 trading experience using crypto wallets and stablecoins, particularly for non-U.S. investors and crypto natives. Projects typically issue tokens that track the price of underlying assets, but these are often financial instruments or structured products, not direct equity ownership conferring voting rights. For investors, key risks include unclear legal rights, redemption mechanisms, regional access restrictions, and the misalignment between on-chain token trading hours and the actual stock market. Using stablecoins to purchase these tokens does not legitimize otherwise restricted capital outflows for Chinese residents. For entrepreneurs, the opportunity lies not in creating new retail channels to circumvent regulations, but in building B2B infrastructure—such as compliance, custody, identity verification, and reporting tools—for licensed institutions exploring asset tokenization. In conclusion, while on-chain stocks represent a significant trend in bridging traditional finance with blockchain, they are not a regulatory workaround. Their long-term viability depends on robust compliance, clear legal structures, and serving legitimate global demand, rather than facilitating unauthorized cross-border investment.
