Ping Season 1 is officially complete 🎉 And honestly: you all crushed it Season 1 was about proving that Ping works. Together, we did exactly that: • 1B+ points earned • 800K app installs • Raids, campaigns, fun • And most importantly: a real, strong community That’s not hype. That’s traction. Huge respect to everyone who was part of Season 1 💙 Now Ping is moving forward into an off-season before Season 2 Behind the scenes, things are getting very real: • We’re actively signing and onboarding B2B clients • Scaling enterprise-grade supply • Keeping the infrastructure live and healthy This is the phase where Ping turns into a real business engine What this means right now: • The VPN keeps working, but it will not generate points for the moment. You can still use it for Internet privacy • The Desktop App will continue to run, but points will not accumulate for now • However, all your desktop activity is still tracked in the backend, and this contribution will be considered in future rewards • Browser extension is paused • Reward campaigns and games are paused Important: We’ve taken a full snapshot of all users and all points Everything you earned is safe, locked in, and counted This off-season is about focus So when Season 2 starts, it starts bigger, sharper, and stronger You were early You helped build this Stay Pinged 🌐
