Nine Chronicles published a 2025 recap covering updates from v200280 to v200390, with the introduction of Human Passport as the headline system change. The anti-bot measure filtered accounts receiving rewards through automated or abnormal behavior, reducing flagged transactions by approximately 91% and increasing average rewards for accounts with genuine gameplay by around 110%. The post also outlines planned reward and progression changes heading into 2026.
