There's news that doesn't feel like a simple ecosystem upgrade. There is news that feels like the closing of a stage. PUF announced the release of its World launchpad and, for AXO, this farewell does not pass as just another note: it feels personal, close and deeply linked to our own history.
This May 31, 2026, we nostalgically bid farewell to one of the doors through which many small, experimental and stubborn projects were able to enter the World ecosystem. PUF was not just a tool for creating tokens. For a generation of builders it was a first scenario, a starting point, a way of saying: this is still small, but it already exists.

AXO was born there. Our token was created in PUF in January 2025, when everything we are building around AXO did not yet exist. AXO News did not exist. The current view of AXO Wallet did not exist. There were not so many screens, rewards, games, tasks, tools, tests, corrected errors or users accompanying each attempt. There was an idea, there was desire, there was initial community and there was PUF.
Before AXO as an ecosystem, there was a first door
That is why this farewell has a different emotional charge. AXO does not look at PUF from afar. AXO looks to PUF as part of its roots. In January 2025, creating a token in World still felt like entering new territory, full of possibilities, but also doubts. PUF made that first step possible for projects that may not have infrastructure, capital, or a perfect route, but they did have conviction.
From that moment, AXO began to transform. What was born as a community token was finding layers: rewards, utility, visual identity, community, wallet, miniapp, games, tasks, news and a bigger ambition to build products within World that feel human, useful and alive. That evolution didn't happen overnight. It was more than a year and a half of building, making mistakes, redesigning, trying again and continuing to believe.
PUF was part of the first push. AXO took that momentum, kept walking and today recognizes that root without giving up its own place.

We also saw PUF grow
From AXO we saw the growth and evolution of PUF very closely. We saw how a tool that at first seemed small was maturing, changing shape and finding its own voice within World. We also saw how a culture was formed around PUF: quick projects, curious communities, memes, tokens, experiments, failures, learnings and builders trying to create something before they had all the answers.
We will always remember something that today almost feels like a time capsule: in the beginning, the app was called POOP. That detail matters because it sums up a very real part of this ecosystem. World didn't just grow from flawless presentations or perfect plans. It also grew from weird names, memes, public tests, ideas that seemed too small and communities that decided to take seriously something that at first might seem like a game.
PUF evolved. AXO also evolved. And in that mirror there is a lesson that accompanies us: projects are not born finished. They are born fragile, incomplete, full of questions. But when they have community, constancy, and a reason to exist, they can find their way. Sometimes that path starts with a strange name. Sometimes it starts with a token. Sometimes it starts on a launchpad that then says goodbye.
Gratitude, but also self-identity
We want to say it very clearly: we deeply thank Ilyas and the PUF project. We know that building in public isn't easy. We know that growing within a new ecosystem brings pressure, criticism, changes of direction, and difficult decisions. PUF has grown a lot, and seeing that evolution inspires us because it also reminds us of the size of the road we still want to travel.
But giving thanks doesn't mean taking a back seat. AXO is not just a project that went through PUF. AXO is a project that took that first starting point and decided to build its own story. We're still here. We're still developing. We continue to look for real utility, better user experience, more products, better communication, and a community that can feel that AXO is not noise, but a house under construction.
We give ourselves our place because we have also worked for it. AXO has survived more than a year and a half of changes, adjustments, redesigns and learnings. It has grown from the community, from World App, from WorldChain and from an increasingly clear vision: to create accessible, human and useful tools for real users within the World ecosystem.
Thanks to PUF there is part of our history. Thanks to the work of AXO, that story now also has its own voice, its own product, and its own future.

A nostalgic farewell, not an empty ending
This May 31st, we're not just saying goodbye to one show. We said goodbye to a stage. For those who were close from the beginning, PUF represents a moment in the ecosystem where everything felt cruder, more experimental and more uncertain. That moment had mistakes, yes, but it also had an energy that cannot be manufactured: the energy of the first builders trying to figure out what could be built in World.
From AXO we wish Ilyas well in the future. Your project has grown a lot and we want to grow at least closely, with respect for the shared story and with genuine expectation for the next chapters. Not all goodbyes are breakups. Some are transitions. Some are signs that what was born as a tool is now ready to become something else.
We also appreciate that thanks to your project there is our project as well. That phrase doesn't make us small. It makes us honest. Recognizing a root does not reduce who we are; on the contrary, it gives depth to what we are building. AXO knows where it's coming from, but it also knows that it has to keep showing where it's going.
AXO continues to write its chapter
PUF changes chapters. AXO also continues to write his own. We are left with the memory of what was, with gratitude for what it allowed us to build and with the excitement of what is still to come. This farewell arrives with nostalgia, but also with pride: we were there, we were born there and we are still here.
What started in January 2025 as a token created in PUF is now part of a larger AXO ecosystem. There's still a long way to go. We're still building. We're still learning. But that's precisely why this moment matters: because it reminds us that every big project was once a first step.
Thank you, PUF. Thank you, Ilyas. Thank you for opening a door through which AXO was able to enter. Now it's up to us to honor that beginning by building something that lives up to the story we want to tell.
Because there was a beginning. Because we were there. Because AXO was born there. And because what was born there still has a lot to grow.
