This pivotal moment marked the beginning of Ancient8's mission to empower game developers, enabling them to create innovative and profitable chain gaming experiences. In response to valuable community feedback, Ancient8 carried out further refinement, adaptation and strengthening of the Ancient8 chain with Celestia integration into Testnet V2.
Throughout the testnet phases, Ancient8 achieved important milestones thanks to the invaluable support of the developer communities. This collaborative effort allowed Ancient8 to approach the Mainnet release with the necessary improvements, addressing the game's development needs, including:
- Adding essential games and solving infrastructure puzzles
- Establish a diverse and unique online game list
- Foster education and community collaboration through modular blockchain concepts
Going forward, Testnet V2 will continue to operate as a robust testing ground for games and DApps, ensuring the continued development of the Ancient8 ecosystem.

To achieve this ideal utopia, the team is committed to addressing the vision of standardizing the underlying infrastructure, further improving interoperability, and providing developers with seamless access to innovative gaming technology and SDKs. With the launch of Mainnet, Ancient8 is excited to continue advancing these goals with creative community initiatives, both vertically and horizontally.
