The archetypal BSC-era boom-bust ending: at peak CryptoMines was one of BNB Chain's biggest games; ETERNAL collapsed ~99% on exploits and dumps, the team discontinued Legacy on December 8, 2021 with a discount-ticket bridge into CryptoMines Reborn, and Reborn itself faded silent after its April 2022 economy rework. The reboot that couldn't escape the token's gravity.
Status note: Legacy discontinued December 8, 2021 with a stated succession plan: ETERNAL expeditions ran until supply depletion, and players could convert top Fleets into discount tickets for Reborn minting. Reborn launched with a reworked 'Skylight' reward system but went silent after 2022 — app endpoints dead at verification. Mechanism: economic collapse, then a successor reboot that never outran the original's crash.
