TL;DR

• The Cypher State Campaign has been running in its current form for over a year.

• It's about to evolve from a simple engagement and rewards program into a value-driven educational institution.

• Galactica's new users will have a vastly improved experience when entering the #CypherState.

• New and existing #Galacticans will have brand new gamified educational paths to complete that will form the basis of their identity as a Citizen of the Cypher State.

• Legacy roles and reputational data points will be migrating to on-chain SBTs.

• Testnet SBTs earned in the campaign will transfer to Galactica's Mainnet.
  

The Cypher State Campaign has Ended!

Official completion and SBT distribution announcement here: https://x.com/GalacticaNet/status/1828076787584184600

Since its inception last year, our Cypher State campaign has been our primary engagement and rewards program, serving thousands of you as you begin your journey into the Cypher State, and toward the promise of your Ultimate Sovereign Identity.

^{The Cypher State Campaign was released in June 2023}

Overall, the campaign has been incredibly successful over its lifespan, but there are issues to resolve and many efficiencies to be made as the Cypher State evolves into its next form.

After careful consideration and poring over your feedback, we have identified the following problem areas with the current system:

• You have very few chances for on-chain interaction.

• Your ranks are mainly tied to a singular social platform (Discord).

• There are not enough reasons for you to engage in a meaningful manner with your fellow #Galacticans via the campaign itself.

• Educational content (that has real value to you) is lacking.

• Some planned ranks and rewards never made it to production.

All in all, we believe it's the right time to build something new, and something that gives you value at every step - whether you've just started your journey to the Cypher State, or have already been forming your ultimate private identity within our legacy program.

With that in mind, let's take a look at the components of the new Cypher State Campaign!

A Brand-New Citizen Onboarding Experience

Galactica enables anyone to create a sovereign, compliant, privacy-preserving digital identity: your Galactica passport, making you a #Galactican in the Cypher State. This identity will give you access to an ever-increasing number of social and financial services.

One of the first social services to be built out in the Cypher State is the Cypher University, as we believe education is key for the development of any State. Providing Cypher State citizens with an online educational institution aims to enable greater financial, geographical, and temporal freedom.

The Cypher University will achieve this by aligning resources such as (but not limited to): educational content, community members, mentors, networking as well as monetary rewards - all of this aligned with your passion, your 'ikigai'.

For the Galacticans that reach excellence in the The Cypher University, there will be ample opportunity to access employment within the Cypher State or with our partnership network.

In short, the Cypher University aims to provide for anyone with personal growth goals to meet like-minded people, start businesses, get access to networking opportunities, grants, funding, or simply grow their personal brand.

Becoming a Citizen of the Cypher State?

$$Becoming a true #Galactican is being simplified into an easy-to-understand, 10-minute onboarding process that earns you your first on-chain credential (the Galactica SBT) and a variety of rewards and benefits that can't be ignored!$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
From the moment you land on the brand new Cypher State website, you'll be guided through what it means to build a sovereign identity, and the incredible benefits of doing so.

Within 10 minutes:

• You'll understand the importance of having a citizenship that can't be censured or taken away from you.

• You'll get to know some of the hidden shortcomings and pitfalls with your current identity, and how the Galactica Passport aims to solve them.

• You'll have created a beautiful custom # Avatar, that you can use to keep your anonymity as you explore and build out your network and connections in the Cypher State

• You'll get access to exclusive groups of like-minded people that are on a similar journey to yours.

• You'll get free access to exclusive content curated by leading industry professionals on the topics you have chosen to pursue.

• You'll have learned how our university is structured and works so that you can excel within it to reach your goals.

• You'll get the social recognition of the @GalacticaNet X.com account (followed and have a chance for re-posts of your high-quality content).

Once you complete the new enhanced onboarding, you will earn the #Galactican SBT - the first reputational data point of your new Ultimate Identity!

So, you're with us - you've made an excellent start on your journey to freedom and privacy in the age of artificial intelligence… but what comes next?

Founding the Cypher University (#CypherUNI)

You know what Galactica is and what we are trying to achieve - but let's face it, we all need a little more help learning the ins and outs of the Cypher State, how Galactica enables it, using: blockchain, finance, social media, and everything else that makes up 'Web3'.

That's why we have chosen to build out the new Cypher State Campaign with the principles of an educational institution as a foundation, and your long-term personal growth as a primary goal - essentially, amounting to a decentralized academy from which you'll earn ranked certifications in the subjects that matter most to you.

You can join any Factions that relate to your current or future interests, and learn together as a community with high-quality training materials and skilled tutors. It's a decentralized academy for sovereign individuals that we hope one day will rival legacy educational institutions.

In addition to educational and personal growth, the University's rewards will include Reputation Tokens (on-chain, non-transferable educational credentials), genuine networking opportunities, access to grants and funding, and more to come.

We'll soon release a bespoke, in-depth article and other materials related solely to Cypher University - so make sure you subscribe to our newsletter to stay updated!

The journey to Galactica's Mainnet & your Ultimate Identity!

Our overriding goals as we evolve our community campaign include making onboarding more straightforward for new users, allowing those users to start building their reputation on our Testnet, and providing a seamless migration of that reputation to Galactica's Mainnet when the time comes.

For you as a #Galactican, the new quest and #CypherUni educational infrastructure means a simple but high-value onboarding process, followed by an incredible journey of education and personal growth akin to a hybrid experience of Khan Academy and LinkedIn.

Galactica is your Ultimate Identity Stack, and the new and improved Cypher State experience represents your first 'Lego set' for building a decentralized on-chain reputation profile - a profile that will form a genuinely sovereign identity and translate to meritocratic voting weight in Galactica's proto-governance model, Academy of Sciences, Interest Groups and more.

A little learning here, a little engagement there, a privacy-preserving zkKYC, and before you know it, your address becomes more than a hash… it becomes a soul.
