Yesterday, programmable data chain Irys completed a $10 million Series A financing round, led by CoinFund, with participation from Hypersphere, Tykhe Ventures, Varrock Ventures, Breed VC, Echo Group, Amber Group and WAGMI Ventures. As of now, the company's total financing amount has reached $20 million.

In the following, Odaily Planet Daily will introduce you to the Irys project, guide you step by step to participate in the project and earn points rewards in order to win token airdrop rewards.

Irys: Not only does it preserve data permanently, it also gives it logic and vitality.

In the past, blockchains mostly solved only one problem: whether data could be stored. It was like putting something in an airtight safe; it was safe, but it was just a static archive.

Irys attempts to change this logic. It not only inherits Arweave's permanent storage capabilities, but also imbues data with logic, vitality, and the potential for value transfer. On Irys, data is no longer a cold, impersonal file, but a "living asset" that can be run, interacted with, and even automatically monetized. For example, if you release a song on Irys, it will be permanently preserved and bound by a copyright agreement. Every subsequent play, sampling, or even use for AI training will automatically deposit the proceeds into your account. In other words, your data is not only preserved but can also "work" on its own, continuously generating value.

Therefore, Irys' core advantages include:

• Permanent preservation + low cost : upload to the chain once, store for life, no need to pay repeatedly;
• Programmable data : Allow data to have its own logic and automatically execute rules and contracts;
• Verifiable and traceable : Ensure the credibility and transparency of data sources and processing chains, meeting AI's demand for high-quality data.
• Developer-friendly : Equipped with comprehensive APIs and tools to lower the barrier to entry for building applications;
• Born for AI and Web 3 : Whether it is NFT, intellectual property protection, or decentralized social and AI training, it has broad application scenarios.

Irys is not the end of storage, but the starting point of data intelligence. It is turning static archives into "living assets" that can generate revenue, building a reliable infrastructure for the AI-driven future.

Discord characters may be key to "snatching airdrops"

Based on feedback from community members, the Irys team shared a lot of important information related to TGE and community participation in the latest AMA event in the Chinese region.

Discord roles may play a central role in future incentive distribution. For "money-pulling" (money-pulling) players, acquiring multiple prominent Discord roles is currently the most valuable way to participate. Furthermore, publishing high-quality content on the X platform is also a key way to boost activity and earn additional rewards. While other tasks carry a lower weight, participation is also recommended to maximize airdrop rewards.

Regarding Galxe tasks, on the one hand, the Galxe task reward information will be announced before TGE, and it is stated that 500 NFTs will be drawn. On the other hand, new Galex activities may be launched in the near future.

In addition, the community confirmed that the airdrop will not require KYC, and the time of TGE will be announced soon.
