Web3 games are at a critical crossroads of transformation. Past models that completely relied on on-chain mechanisms or enforced token economics have encountered market indifference. The development process of "Final Form" accurately reflects the shift in market demand from mandatory on-chain experiences to lightweight, optional experiences. However, XAI has not abandoned the token model; instead, it is simultaneously laying out different paths: empowering traditional games with on-chain achievements and real rewards through Raijin, while also continuously incubating innovative games like Planet-X that deeply integrate token economics and real incentives. This dual-track parallel strategy not only satisfies ordinary players who seek pure gaming enjoyment but also attracts crypto players who are deeply involved in the on-chain ecosystem. Now, the combination of Robinhood and Arbitrum further expands the bridge to mainstream US stock investors. If XAI is to genuinely win the attention and trust of millions of traditional users, it must continuously refine areas such as transparency, incentive mechanism design, user experience optimization, and compliance construction to stand out in a highly competitive market environment, achieving long-term and stable development goals.
