To celebrate the launch of $AI3 token transfers, we’re excited to launch a campaign honoring our early contributors and welcoming new explorers into the Autonomys ecosystem.
This activation features two distinct challenges:
The Spark Challenge – for OGs who’ve farmed AI3 on the Consensus Chain
The Seed Challenge – for newcomers just starting their journey
Both tracks offer engaging ways to interact with the network, complete fun quests, and earn limited-edition NFTs that commemorate your place in the Autonomys history.
Campaign Overview
Rewards: Distributed on the Consensus Chain
NFTs: Will be deployed on Taurus Auto EVM initially and reissued on mainnet after domains are launched
Duration: 1 month from Autonomys’ TGE, July 16th, 16:00 UTC
Total Prize Pool: 35,000 AI3 + Exclusive NFTs
