Chapter 1: Old Rock

**Density Deck** has launched a ranked progression system that rewards players based on total wins rather than short-term performance. **How it works:** - Players advance through six ranks: Acolyte → Disciple → Champion → Guardian → Ascendant → Pargon - Each rank contains multiple levels requiring progressively more wins - **No deranking** during active seasons - rank adjustments only happen at season end - Ranked badges display on leaderboards and user profiles The system emphasizes **consistent play over time** rather than temporary win streaks, creating a more stable competitive environment for the game's community.

**Airdrop Season 3 is now live**, introducing a Turquoise-focused reward structure. **Key features:** - Turquoise-aligned actions receive increased weight in the airdrop - Minting **Turquoise Goliaths** now includes special benefits - **Density Deck gameplay** participation counts toward ecosystem activity tracking The airdrop page has been redesigned to match the updated website while maintaining its clear structure. Users can easily track: - Personal progress - Eligibility status - How specific actions translate into rewards Turquoise will remain the central theme throughout Season 3 and continue to play an important role in future airdrop seasons.
