This is where we close this chapter.

Over the past years, we moved across ecosystems, explored different environments, and launched multiple versions of colonisation in search of something that truly works. We landed on new planets, tested new mechanics, and kept pushing forward, even when the conditions kept changing.

Through it all, one thing stayed constant - the people inside it. Colony was never just a game. It was a social experiment built around real incentives, real pressure, and real decisions made in real time. We wanted to understand how people behave in such systems - how they adapt, how they compete, and what they are willing to risk when outcomes are uncertain.

And many of you truly engaged with it. You explored the mechanics, experimented with strategies, and pushed the system further than we initially expected. You were not just participants - you were part of what made this experiment real.

Along the way, the Space Race pool kept accumulating. These rewards were originally tied to the 15,000 land milestone. While that milestone was not reached, we’ve made the decision to distribute the full accumulated pool anyway.

A total of 3.48 ETH will be distributed to the Top 100 players.

It’s not easy to write this. Zerocolony has been a meaningful part of our lives. But every system reaches its natural conclusion, and this is ours.

There is a wanderer in every Colonist — a part that seeks new worlds, new systems, new challenges. Each of you will encounter many more along your path. Just remember the experience you gained here — that’s where your real advantage lies.

We are closing this chapter.

May new stars guide your path.
