Ex Populus's "Final Form" aims to do more than just be a game; fundamentally, it is exploring the technological direction of "dynamic NFTs."

Compared to traditional blockchain games, most of the time the NFTs you purchase are static images with fixed attributes, and they remain unchanged after purchase. But Final Form's gameplay is different—thanks to the high performance of the XAI chain, every battle and every evolution's data is written in real-time into the NFT's metadata. As you invest time to play, this card truly "grows" on the chain, with attributes continuously mutating and evolving.

This "Play-to-Evolve" mechanism gives virtual assets a genuine sense of history. Your NFT is not a mass-produced item from a factory but a unique achievement earned through your time and effort. This gameplay offers a different kind of appeal for Web3 games.

It is worth noting that regarding the confusion over the name, Ex Populus has officially filed a lawsuit against xAI (Grok's parent company), reflecting the increasing caution of Web3 projects in brand protection.

The direction of dynamic NFTs is indeed interesting. Finally, someone wants to turn NFTs into truly living things rather than dead images.

Dynamic NFTs are indeed a fresh concept, definitely better than those dead images that just sit there after purchase... --- Play-to-Evolve basically means giving your assets a growth system, this feels more authentic --- Speaking of legal lawsuits, is Web3 finally starting to take it seriously? No one cared before --- Cards will truly grow on-chain. If this gets hyped up, the secondary market will go crazy --- XAI chain has good performance, but can it handle large amounts of real-time data writes? That’s the real test --- Finally, someone wants to make NFTs more than just speculative assets --- Will legal cases become precedents? It seems Web3’s legal framework is still quite vague --- Every battle is on-chain, how much will the gas fees be? Is this a cost that's being selectively ignored? --- The concept that virtual assets have a sense of history is pretty good, more reliable than previous routines --- Having a good concept isn’t enough; it also depends on whether the gameplay itself can retain people, otherwise it’s just another air project

The direction of dynamic NFTs is indeed interesting. Compared to those profile pictures that gather dust after purchase... Will NFTs really evolve? Then my cards would be alive, which is a bit crazy. This is the kind of blockchain game it should be, not the typical money-grabbing scheme. Is XAI's performance really so strong? Should I consider adding it... With legal lawsuits, it seems Web3 is starting to play by the rules. I have a feeling this thing will explode. Time to study the mechanism quickly. The feeling that cards are becoming more and more powerful, way more fun than traditional games. Finally seeing some promise from Web3 players. This is the Web3 game I want—don't just think about making money. Feels like ex populus is about to blow up.

Dynamic NFTs are indeed a great concept; finally, someone is seriously working on this. --- But it still depends on the subsequent operations—don't want it to turn into another scheme to fleece investors. --- Innovative gameplay is indeed innovative, but I'm worried it might just be another air coin scheme. --- Legal litigation is quite professional; much better than some project teams. --- Will the card game president grow? Sounds promising, but it all depends on how the economic model is designed. --- The sense of real history sounds comfortable, but whether it can be practically implemented is the key. --- This is what a Web3 game should look like, not just pure PFP avatars. --- Can the XAI chain handle the performance? Will it crash again with a flood of users?

Yeah, this is what an NFT should look like—truly full of vitality. --- Play-to-evolve sounds pretty good, but I wonder how long the economic model can sustain in the later stages. --- Finally, someone is creating dynamic NFTs. Those dead images in traditional chain games are really speechless. --- Ex Populus dares to sue xAI, their courage is really big. --- Wait, does this mean my cards will become more valuable the more I play? Isn't this a chain game version of Pokémon GO? --- Yes, yes, at least it's more reliable than those projects that are gone after minting. --- It seems like the game's appeal is all about NFT upgrades. How are the gameplay mechanics themselves? --- I see promise in the dynamic NFT direction; it's much better than comparable products. --- Their name has been taken, and now they have to go to court. Web3 is really deep waters. --- Let me see if I can experience it for free before deciding to join.
