Anime-style blockchain RPG + ChainBoost launchpad (2018-era veteran) — governance was migrated to the CGDAO in Nov 2023; by late 2025 all official surfaces (game, DAO portal) went dark and now time out (verified Oct 2026).
Status note: ChainGuardians moved product governance into the CGDAO in November 2023 ('progressive decentralisation'); the chaincaptcha-era game stopped receiving reward sessions, and by December 2025 the chainguardians.io domain and DAO portal began timing out entirely. Guardian NFTs and the CGG token remain on-chain but there is no live client.
