TL:DR
From high-level talks in Dubai to SilkAI’s growing momentum, things are accelerating across the NetVRk ecosystem. Behind the scenes, we’re making strategic changes to how and when you’ll access the platform, all while keeping key development tightly under wraps to stay ahead of the curve. Big updates are in motion across infrastructure, blockchain, and AI integration.
Studio Update
Our recent trip to Dubai opened the door to some exciting conversations with key players in Web3 gaming and infrastructure. While we can’t share names just yet, we’ve been speaking with people who bring serious experience and reach in this space. These early connections could lead to something much bigger down the line.
SilkAI and NetVRk are part of the same ecosystem, and that’s not just a branding choice. The shared X account is one of many signals that SilkAI’s momentum is meant to benefit NetVRk directly.
A strong SilkAI launch means more visibility, more traffic, and more interest across the entire stack. Hype matters in this market, and SilkAI was built to capture it, while also delivering meaningful tech. That includes AI infrastructure that NetVRk will tap into, especially within our Creation Engine and avatar pipeline.
As SilkAI grows, it opens new doors for NetVRk, from potential integrations to partnerships to a broader user base. The more SilkAI wins, the more NetVRk stands to gain.
Coolio Music Video – Style Preview
We’ve been experimenting with different visual styles for the upcoming Coolio music video inside the NetVRk ecosystem, which will also be shared across his official socials and community.
While the final direction is being locked in, we wanted to share this animated version with you, a more stylized, expressive take that brings vibrant, surreal energy to the world.
But we want to hear from you:
Do you prefer this bold, animated style?
Or would you rather see future music content go in a more realistic, GTA-inspired direction?

Development Update
Building the Future, One Prompt at a Time
We know the wait has been long, and while we’re keeping most of our development tightly under wraps to protect what we’re building, we wanted to give you a taste of the direction we’re heading.
In this Devlog we’re sharing a visual preview that captures the spirit of NetVRk’s upcoming Creation Engine: worlds forming from simple prompts, cinematic and immersive in style. It’s a glimpse into the intuitive content generation experience we’re crafting, designed to empower creators, gamers, and worldbuilders alike.
While the full system is still deep in development, this preview reflects exactly the kind of creative flow we’re building toward. It’s fast. It’s visual. And it’s powered by the same AI backbone that SilkAI brings to the table.
Why NetVRk Access Is Changing (For the Better)
We’ve been hard at work behind the scenes preparing for the next big milestones. You might’ve noticed that both Mine Runner and the NetVRk Alpha are temporarily unavailable. This is part of a broader infrastructure transition as we move from AWS to Google Cloud, laying the foundation for better long-term performance, scalability, and flexibility.
Instead of keeping everything open 24/7, we’re shifting towards scheduled access windows. This allows us to better concentrate player activity, gather more focused feedback, and make each release feel like an event, something worth showing up for.
This doesn’t mean the doors are closed, just that we’re focusing on more concentrated, high-quality sessions for now. We’ll let you know as soon as the next play window is scheduled, along with all the details on when and how to access it.
Blockchain Update
Staking + $SILKAI Airdrop Eligibility Update
As part of our ongoing migration to Google Cloud, some systems were temporarily in transition. During that period, it wasn’t possible to check your NFT staking status or qualify for rewards, as certain tracking features were being adjusted to fit the new infrastructure.
To streamline the process and reduce short-term workload for the blockchain team, we’ve removed the option to qualify through Mine Runner, since access to the game is currently paused.
The update is now live:
- You can now check your eligibility for Q2 NFT staking rewards directly on the site.
- You can also see if you’ve qualified for the 3% $SILKAI airdrop.
- If you haven’t qualified yet, you can still submit the questionnaire to participate.
NFT Migration Discussion
Last month, we shared an update in Discord and Telegram about the idea of moving our NFTs to a more efficient network, whether that’s a different chain or an Ethereum Layer 2.
Since then, we’ve seen a lot of mixed opinions from the community. Based on that feedback, one option we’re now considering is staying on Ethereum, but launching a new NFT contract that enforces royalties even on third-party marketplaces.
We’d love to hear your thoughts, whether on this idea or other solutions you think could strike the right balance between cost-efficiency and staying connected to the broader Ethereum ecosystem.
Community Update
Don’t miss your chance to shape what comes next. We’re still gathering community feedback on the potential NFT migration, whether that means a new chain, an L2, or just a smarter contract on Ethereum. Join the ongoing discussion in Discord and Telegram and help us make the right call together.
