New Irys Project Updates

-#Irys launched a raffle in partnership with Aspecta, issuing an ERC-721 NFT called BuildKey.
-This NFT grants early access rights to features within the Irys ecosystem.
-Selected testnet participants received it, and it may be tied to future rewards or governance privileges.
2.Irys Arcade Launch with Enhanced Gamification
-Irys Arcade has evolved beyond a basic testnet interface and now features a classic arcade-style UI.
-Users who accumulate a certain amount of XP may become eligible for limited NFTs or early token rewards.

3.Transition from Alpha Testnet to Mainnet Underway
-Founder Josh Benaron recently confirmed that the mainnet launch is approaching, along with the planned Token Generation Event (TGE).
-This event is expected to reward early users and community contributors significantly.
4.Cross-chain Integration Testing
-Irys is actively experimenting with bridges to other Layer-1 chains, especially those offering AI-powered dApps.
-The goal is to allow smart contracts to verify and interact with external on-chain data across ecosystems, reinforcing Irys’s role as a programmable data layer.
