Summary
There are moments that resonate like the harbingers of great change. Suspended moments, when everything wavers only to reinvent itself. We've all experienced them, those fateful moments when everything shifts, the ones that shift the boundaries for good.
This Tuesday evening, on the occasion of the second round table (April 2025) between the community and the Cross The Ages teamThe atmosphere was relaxed, filled with reunions and warm discussions. A special energy was in the air.
In front of the five members representing the community (Gueuldorf, Panda, Don Drogo, MrRegem and Hippocrate of L'Artellium Post), Anthony and Quentin transparently shared a dense roadmap, assumed choices and a clear vision for the future.
One thing is certain, Cross The Ages has grown in many ways and entered a new phase. In 2025, the announcement is made, it's the year of the pivot, of renewal, of progression, and hopefully of completion for Blast.
In this article, we will focus on the main topics to remember.
The schedule is accelerating with the pace of tests and releases.
The first closed playtest of Blast started on Wednesday, April 23, 2025, from 8:00 UTC and will end on May 7, 2025. It is already available on Android and Epic Games, for participants registered on the whitelist and who connected (validated by snapshots) between April 1 and 16, 2025. It will be available very soon on IOS as well.
The closed testing phases for the community are divided into several parts:
a first phase of V0.24(a) testing, during which only essential functionalities were maintained. For this release, the Blasts offered are those of Arkhante and Mantris. This phase will be followed by a break of approximately two weeks... then a second phase of V0.24(b) testing will begin, during which other features will be reintegrated, and the other two Blasts, Rift and Watchdogs.
Finally, a third and final phase of testing, which will also last approximately 15 days, will be deployed for a final check before the final release.
The official public release is planned for this summer with version V0.26. A marketing campaign will then be launched to promote the release of Blast.
Solana, NFTs Cross The Ages in Migration to a Fertile Land.
THE NFTs on Immutable X, will soon be frozen in preparation for the Migration to Solana.
The bridge will be temporarily available on the Portal. A Bonus will be distributed to the first to make the transfer!
Security when transferring assets to Solana is something the team doesn't skimp on. The Cross The Ages team assures that everything will be done to ensure the transfer is completed in one click from their account and is completely secure.
There solana migration is progressing very well and should see the light of day during the month of June.
A more robust and balanced Web3 economy, for a deep update.
The roundtable discussion provided an interesting opportunity to discuss the project's economic overhaul. The clear goal is to build a sustainable economy that will resist abuse and benefit everyone.
The Trisel reclaims its place as the primary reward, refocusing the experience on gameplay and player engagement.
Mint passes, for their part, retain all their importance and become “Catalysts”.
Their effects will be cumulative from one game to another, with strategic advantage multipliers.
To combat multi-accounting and bots, the dream team has opted for a structural, non-punitive approach. The economy renders all kinds of abusive behavior ineffective by favoring active and engaged players at all levels of the ecosystem.
It will be recommended to use the Four DEFI pools made available:
CTA/SOL
CTA/STO (STO for the Stones )
CTA/TRI (TRI for the Trisel )
CTA/stCTA ("st" for CTA Staking, with 28 days of unlock )
These pools create an interconnected value system between games, resources, and the token. A powerful mechanism, but one that requires careful understanding. It's strongly recommended to learn about the impermanent loss risks specific to DEFI liquidity pools.
Finally, the CTA Token regains its utilitarian, not speculative, role. It rewards those who contribute to the development of the ecosystem as a whole, well beyond simple ownership.
The Value of the Collection, finally estimated thanks to the VIP system and the Eternal Multiplier!
The VIP system has been revised to provide a better balance between the different levels.
The Eternal Multiplier will take into account all seasons combined.
The higher your VIP, the more your number of cards (including duplicates) will be taken into account in the Eternal Multiplier score.
Lore will see us at the end of the year.
While the release of the second volume remains unknown, the release of the boxed set of books, as well as the novellas, are planned for the end of the year.
As for the physical cards, they are planned for after the Solana migration, so not before this summer. There was also talk of the possibility of in-game tournaments being organized as early as version 1.0. A DAO Court will soon be created to manage sanctions in a community-based manner.
A well-served table, a well-dressed future!
A new wind is blowing through Cross The Ages.
Far from being just an impression, the clarity of the roadmap, the consistency of the choices, and the involvement of the community show that something essential is being prepared and taking root.
The incredible project that is Cross The Ages no longer seeks to convince. Now its path is mapped out, and it is building its own serenely, yet also with unashamed ambition and a calming maturity.
This second edition of the round table with the community ended in good spirits, with the shared impression of being on the verge of a change of direction.
2025 seems to be turning everything upside down and is shaping up to be a pivotal year. A year when all the planets finally align to reveal the full potential of this Unique Intellectual Property.
