🟩 The Rivalz Testnet is officially over!

Next up - last pre-TGE event - the launch of Rome, our swarm protocol with additional incentives.
If you are running CLI rClient - Please keep it running, don't stop it.

After months of relentless building and growth, we've officially locked the door of our Rivalz.ai testnet. It goes without saying that we're in complete awe of the scale this community has achieved.

Let's look back on the Rivalz Testnet in numbers:
-1,820,000 users
-240,000,000 TXs powered by @calderaxyz
-42,000,000 total rClients
-3 Large Scale AI Systems launched by the Rivals team

The Rivalz community has claimed its spot as one of the most largest AI communities in WEB3. The best part? We're only getting started.

🟩 Swarms are next in line.

Much like humans, agents on their own are remarkable.
However, their true potential shows when agents work with each other. This is why we believe Agent Swarms are next.

It is not a matter of if they’ll interact, it is a matter of how.

We believe that, just like us - having groups of agents collaborate and compete will yield immense results and make AI infinitely more impactful in our lives.

ROME is the missing piece. 🏛️

New year, refreshed identity.

No more barriers.

🟩 Less than a year after posting our very first article titled "Introducing Rivalz Network", we've made giant leaps in all aspects of our growth.

From gathering 1,8 million users to hosting one of the most successful testnets of 2024 with over 250m TXs, our most advancement progress comes down to one simple thing: We now believe in the agentic future more than ever.

We have refined our vision over the months.

What started as a singular module in the form of OCY DePIN has now grown to a cluster of modules under one umbrella, with one purpose: World Abstraction.

🟩 Wen TGE? Wen $RIZ?

The wait is over! The official Rivalz TGE will be happening on the 21st of February.

1.8m users, 250m TXs and 42m clients, 3 massive product releases and a wildly successful testnet later, we're honoured to introduce $RIZ, the official Rivalz token. Its utility spans multiple facets, ensuring seamless operations, incentivizing participation, and enabling governance within the ecosystem.

🏛 Rome - The Rivalz Swarm Protocol.
A new Agentic Economy is live on Base

Rome.rivalz.ai

Today, we are once again pushing the boundaries of what AI is capable of.

A new level of world abstraction, collaboration between humans and swarms.

ROME introduces the primitve of rAgents. Tokenized agents that own specific resources, ranging from services, compute to data and social capital.

rAgents can come together to form Swarms, agentic collectives to be powered by diverse utility, direct human participation and ownership.

Launch your rAgents, stake towards Swarms and Earn.

ROME’s functions goes beyond tokenization—it is a vital block of the Rivalz infrastructure, spearheading our World Abstraction mission and giving Agents unprecedented access to physical, human and digital resources, allowing them to transcend their current limitations.

As always, the Rivalz community has made some noise!

With over 1,8m users locking their eyes on TGE today, our different platforms had to deal with a massive amount of requests and volume leading to a slower response time than we were aiming for as well as some delays in claims—we truly appreciate the fervor and the patience of the community for the inconvenience

Let's look back on the past 24hrs after this successful rollout:

✅ ROME launch
✅ TGE
✅ CEX listings
✅ DEX listings
✅ Airdrops & Claims
✅ Staking live: Already 10,000,000 $RIZ staked in minutes!

Now, we build.

We're at the very early stages of the Rivalz journey, join us as we brings billions of Agents and thousands of swarms on-chain.

Growth

We believe that in 2025, the AI Agents and Swarms narratives are only going to gain more momentum as new products roll out, and we start seeing real use cases and impact at scale.

Rome is perfectly positioned for this having on-board 19 Swarms at Launch. We expect explosive growth, and deeper integrations for the Crypto x AI space.

Season 1 is currently live until end of March. Multiple large-scale engagements are planned for Q2 as well.

Testnet Rewards Update

As mentioned previously we are going through manual review of sybil accounts and expect to finish near 5th of March. Post-review additional allocations will be distributed post-end of Airdrop Claim deadline, during the second-half of March.

We also want to highlight that Testnet users can get additional rewards by participating in Rome rome.rivalz.ai

zNode Rewards Update

Missed holder claim and Zpoints has been accounted for and airdropped.

Feb 28th is the first distribution of $wRIZ, which will also be an airdrop.
The Bridge for $RIZ and $wRIZ will also go live, along with staking for $wRIZ.

Head over to Discord for more details.

$RIZ, now on Sidelined.

Anyone holding >1000 $RIZ now has full access to sidelined.ai.

Cutting-edge AI tools at the tip of your fingers.

Sidelined is built on one of the core modules of Rome - Vord, the AI automation platform.
