The Xai Foundation is introducing Tiny Sentry Keys, a new way to access the growing Ethereum gaming ecosystem. These NFT-based licenses are designed to make blockchain gaming more accessible while maintaining the rewards players are looking for.

What are Tiny Sentry Keys?

Tiny Sentry Keys are NFT-based licenses that give access to the Sentry Key ecosystem and its rewards. They will be much cheaper than regular Sentry Keys, which are 1.43 ETH ($5,520). Despite being cheaper, Tiny Sentry Keys have full functionality, including staking for rewards; however, these rewards may be less than regular key holders.

These keys are part of the Xai Foundation’s broader plan to scale the Ethereum gaming network. By lowering the entry point, Tiny Sentry Keys will attract a larger, more diverse player base and drive engagement and growth across the ecosystem.

Xai Tiny Sentry Keys Enhancing Integration

Twelve top-tier projects in Xai’s ecosystem now have dedicated allocations for both Tiny and OG Sentry Key holders. By providing a standardised way to access rewards and perks, these keys reduce friction for both developers and players. This streamlined approach allows new games to onboard users and existing platforms to benefit from a broader audience.

A “Battle Pass”

These also act as a “battle pass” to Xai’s gaming and rewards ecosystem, giving access to airdrop allocations and perks, according to the announcement. Tiny Sentry Keys get you into Xai’s value stream, which has already distributed $340m in tokens this year. For every regular Sentry Key you hold, you’ll get 99 Tiny Sentry Keys, so the cost of entry to the Sentry Key ecosystem is 100x cheaper.

By lowering the barrier to entry, Tiny Sentry Keys brings in a bigger and more diverse player base and fuels growth across the ecosystem.

Unleash Ethereum Gaming

With 12 live games and over 2,000 projects in development, Xai’s ecosystem is a proof of concept for Ethereum gaming. Last August, the Xai Foundation had processed over 1 billion transactions and had over 9 million connected wallets. Tiny Sentry Keys are the next step in this journey, allowing more users to join the ecosystem.

The affordability of Tiny Sentry Keys makes them a great tool for scaling blockchain gaming. They lower the barrier for new players and enhance the experience for existing users, creating a network effect that benefits the entire XAI gaming ecosystem.
