Ship notes from the crew. Every entry below is something that went live, written up plain so you can see what changed and why it matters. Newest first.
Our genesis collection is live. Members with 500 engagement points link a wallet in Discord, pick the exact Forkie they want, and we send it over free.

Founder of HostDudes, the managed node host whose ten servers were the first fleet to run the Forked node on hardware we do not own. The test build people are running today proved itself on his fleet first.

Our Golden Forkers switched it on yesterday. Now anyone can run it: no license, nothing to buy. Turn it on, see if it works, and tell us what breaks in the Discord.

Founder of JDI, the Hong Kong group that manufactures DePIN hardware and backs the networks it runs on. He put JDI behind Helium in 2021 and shipped hotspots by the hundreds of thousands, and he is now on the part of a node network that software cannot solve by itself.

Former VP of Technology and Operations at Jagex, the studio behind RuneScape. Two decades keeping one of the biggest live game worlds up and shipping at scale, now helping us pressure-test the failover and hosting the platform leans on.

A fair, skeptical Discord question, answered piece by piece: what runs where, the one coordinator we will not hide, and why nothing on the network gets paid for work it cannot prove.

Our earliest node operators earned their position by running infrastructure, not by buying in. We are honoring them in $FORK through a Legacy Capsule: a sealed NFT you unlock by running a node, open once, and can sell but never shortcut.

The team holds zero $FORK, draws nothing from emission, and runs no company nodes earning out of the operator pool. That leaves one way for us to make money, which is by running a business customers pay. Here is the arithmetic.

Version 1 is finished and public. Fifty-eight pages on the node network, the $FORK model, governance and the roadmap. We also drew the whole token economy on one page, so you can check the money without reading all fifty-eight.

Last week we added a report-a-bug button, the community used it, and we shipped a whole round of fixes because of you: credits that land, game servers that stay up while you play, an honest dashboard, and mobile wallet connect that works. Thanks to everyone who filed a report.

The spending side of the test network switched on. People topped up credits and spent them to play and to spin up their own game servers, with more than twenty worlds already live. One account hub now ties it together, the community hit a new high, and next week we open the side where you help power the network yourself.

One Discord login now carries across all of Forked: your handle, points, credits, and connected wallet. This week we open the demand side of the test network. Run the loop, tell us what breaks, and earn 250 points and a Testnet Participant badge.

We opened Vibe Deploy, a place to put the game you made and watch other people play it. FORKED://BREACH, a co-op hacking raid, is coming to the Discord soon. Plus a weekend play session, a test network you can run a node on, and what we want to get done this week.

Almost nineteen thousand games, Steam and Epic side by side, including the crypto games the big store kicked out years ago. Plus a members club you earn your way into and a Forkies drop you can get in line for.

The network streamed a full feature film, then held up under a hundred machines across six continents with every file perfect. Plus Factorio hosting, a home base for players, and one account that is really you.

The first Sunday Funday covers three weeks in one go. What shipped, and the bigger idea behind it: helping studios keep their games online and letting players own what they play.
Read the note →
A live file, ten machines, six continents. Stored, proven, and rebuilt after we killed nodes on purpose. Then a hosting partner brought a real fleet of their own boxes online.
Read the note →
Two changes to how the Forked Discord treats you. Newcomers get met at the door now, and anyone wearing the Forked server tag earns points every day for repping the crew.
Read the note →
Every pick, pool, and payout in FORKcast is now hashed into a Merkle tree, anchored on-chain, and pinned to IPFS. You don't have to trust us. You can check the math yourself.
Read the note →
Time spent in the Forked Discord is no longer stuck there. Engagement points cross over into FORKcast at two to one, so the people who show up get more to play with.

The Forked.gg prediction engine is open. Call the outcome of a match or a moment, put your points behind it, and climb the board. No wallet, no buy-in, none of your own money at risk.
