Reminder:

MASA Trading Suspension on Bybit
Bybit has announced that MASA/USDT will be delisted as part of their regular token review.
As outlined in our recent FAQs (https://x.com/gopher_ai/status/2010809928512905285), for the new GOAI listing. MASA trading will be suspended or delisted from exchanges prior to TGE.

Key Dates
Feb 2, 2026 @ 8AM UTC — Deposits close
Feb 3, 2026 @ 8AM UTC — Spot trading ends, all open orders auto-canceled
Withdrawals — Remain open after delisting, but we recommend withdrawing early

If you have active Spot Grid Bots or DCA Bots on MASA/USDT, close them before Feb 3 or they'll be auto-terminated.

What This Means for MASA Holders @everyone

Read Bybits announcement here: https://announcements.bybit.com/en/article/delisting-of-seraph-xo-pstake-and-masa-bltf108a74b1dd75696/

Your tokens are safe. This is a structured transition
.
Swap remains unchanged — Every MASA holder swaps into 30% of GOAI supply on equal terms as outlined in the FAQ.

Can "patience" actually be passivity? @everyone

While being patient, why not backtest 500 setups while you sleep?

Flat markets aren't for waiting. They're for building.

What strategy did you discover last time price went nowhere?

📣 Community Check-in @everyone

We hear you. Here's where things stand:

🔹 "What milestones are we targeting before TGE?"
This is complex — AI is moving fast and so is the market. We have internal metrics set with the Gopher board. We won't be publishing specifics, but here's what TGE hinges on:

1. Crypto Market State
   We've been in an altcoin bear for 6 months. The market needs to return to real participation first. Launching into a dead market helps no one.

2. Revenue
   Gopher needs to hit an internally defined ARR target. This is driven by:
   → Institutional fund onboarding (underway)
   → Consumer subscription revenue (live)

We're not disclosing exact figures — but Gopher is already operating at breakeven and on track to be profitable by end of Q1.

🔹 Tokenomics & $GOAI Utility
We published our tokenomics breakdown here: https://x.com/gopher_ai/status/1990837985420476818. This remains the foundation. As mechanics around swap, supply, emissions, and buybacks are finalized, updates will be shared directly — not "in due time," but as they're locked in.

🔹 Roadmap Visibility
No fixed dates. But no black box either.
Given the pace of change with AI it is very difficult to provide a static roadmap that we can adhere to. However we will continue to publish every update and utilize Alpha for Everyone spaces for upcoming information. In Feb alone we have:

Gopher API access for agents: https://x.com/gopher_ai/status/2021396585733906501?s=20

BART Backtesting strategies: https://x.com/gopher_ai/status/2018710425710313687?s=20

🔹 Regular Updates

Changes Shipping Tomorrow: Free Tier Removal @everyone

Over the past 60 days, providing free-tier inference has cost us $25k. To keep GoTrader sustainable and continue building the best AI trading tools, we're transitioning to a credits-only model.

What's changing:

• The 3 free daily messages (30 free credits/day) are being removed
• All platform features — AI chat, discovery analysis, signal updates — now require purchased credits
• Credit packs start at just $5 (200 credits) with no expiration on purchased credits

What's NOT changing:

• Pricing for credit packs remains the same
• Referral rewards still work — refer friends and earn credits when they purchase
• All AI models and trading features remain fully available

Why:

Running state-of-the-art LLM inference at scale isn't cheap. At $25k over 60 days just for free-tier usage, we need to focus our resources on improving the platform for paying users rather than subsidizing free access.

How to get started:

Connect your wallet and grab a credit pack from the pricing page. Credits never expire, so you use them at your own pace.

Get started: https://bit.ly/46T4cdi

Masa Protocol: Incentivized Testnet 2.0 Community Launch

"This week we released Version 2.0 of the Masa Testnet to the community. After the launch of v1.0 in December, we had such overwhelming demand that we had to make significant upgrades to the testnet in order to handle capacity. In 24hrs we had over 250 node operators running Version 1.0 of the testnet and had reached capacity. With Version 2.0 of the Masa Testnet we have already had 400+ node operators join the network over the past 3 days."

[floral crest]

Hello node operators! 🌽

We have some exciting news for @everyone today. Our testnet 2.0 is getting some updates to increase scalability and stability tomorrow at 9am PST.

• Block time is changing to 10sec per block (so we are basically increasing it); the geth command has been updated in the docs make sure you use istanbul.blockperiod 10
• genesis.json file is being updated to match that change;
• We will be merging PR’s which were submitted by community members in order to add their bootnodes. This should solve issues of users who are encountering peers that are missing;
• Blocks will be reset to ZERO as we are doing a hard reset of the protocol
• Capacity increased with additional bootnodes from the community

What do you have to do? It’s easy:

• Take down your node and delete the data from the previous chain in your geth folder or in docker - you must take this step because we are resetting blocks
• Download the new release v1.03 from the repository https://github.com/masa-finance/masa-node-v1.0 (release will be published today)
• Build a new node using geth or the Docker image in the release
• Wait until Testnet 3.0 is live with the new parameters and settings
• Connect to the new Node cluster when it is up and running using the bootnodes listed in our documentation - https://developers.masa.finance/docs/bootnodes

[floral crest]

Hello node operators! @everyone

We are going to restart the node cluster very soon. So please follow the steps mentioned in the message above.

Important notes:

• You must delete the current chain data in the ../data directory after this reset in your Docker container and in your geth node folder.
• Release notes can be found on this link - https://github.com/masa-finance/masa-node-v1.0/releases/tag/v1.03
• If you encounter any kind of bugs, please submit an issue here - https://github.com/masa-finance/masa-node-v1.0/issues
• We will be merging PR’s with public bootnodes from our community members in the next 24hrs
• There will be a Google Form to submit your node and wallet information for the incentivized testnet registration

Hello Masa Community Members!

Masa investor and collaborator Jacob Riglin is offering community members access to his latest generative NFT collection “Reflections”, a first of its kind generative photography project that harnesses the serendipity of on-chain mechanics to compose 1,111 unique one of a kind NFTs.

Jacob has been working behind the scenes on an NFT collateralized loan project with Masa since early 2021. Jacob is a photographer, creative director and tech entrepreneur from London, UK. For the past 8 years he has spent most of his time traveling to the far corners of the earth, showcasing his unique and surreal perspective of the earth through photography.

@everyone
Hi Everyone,

We have compiled the Enode ID’s that were submitted from our testnet node operators and we’ve received many that were in the incorrect format. For that reason, we have emailed those node operators and have asked them to submit their Enode ID in the proper format by midnight PST on Thursday June 9. Please check your email for an email from us related to this and complete the form within the email. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask in this channel.

📢TESTNET@everyone

Calling all node operators.

Seems some of you have overlooked this tiny detail 😉 , with the launch of stage 2 of our testnet it also brings a new form to register your node to become eligible for the June and Juli rewards.

If you are signing up with an existing Enode address please make sure it matches the email you used previously for stage 1.

Thank you 🌽 🚀

📢 TESTNET

Hi @everyone !

We are pleased to announce that we’ve completed the token rewards for Tesnet 2.0 Phase 1. We had an incredible amount of submissions and will be rewarding over 6,000 node operators! We were so happy with the amount of submissions that we increased the token pool from 1M to 5M $CORN tokens!

To claim your rewards you must sign up to the Masa App here https://app.masa.finance using the email you used to register your enodeID. Your rewards will be added to your account and show up on the rewards tab when we release the updated rewards dashboard. You will be notified by email once your rewards are able to be viewed in the rewards dashboard.

For now, the tokens you’re being rewarded are not redeemable until the protocol goes live after the public sale.
Public Roadmap https://masafinance.notion.site/masafinance/02bb2a5507df4139991f79e598afe4cc?v=e231e1589454420ca063206eab4b1fa6

Be sure to signup to the Masa App using the same email address that you registered your enodeID with!

Again, thank you for all of the support and be sure to register for Testnet 2.0 Phase 2 by using the form below to be eligible for the next round of $CORN rewards!
