Kabu's Sunset City Season 1 Shard Rewards Pool Closes Nov 23
Kabu (kabuxyz) is directing players toward its Sunset City world, where accumulating Shards ranks players for a Season 1 rewards pool that the project calls "constantly growing." Season 1 is scheduled to end on Nov. 23, 2026.
The announcement, posted on Oct. 15, points players to a thread covering three areas: how Shards are earned inside Sunset City, how the rewards pool is structured, and additional details on the season's incentive design. Kabu positions Shards as the participation metric for the season rather than a passive collectible.
What to know
- Earning mechanism: Shards come from daily claims inside the Laboratory and from weekly airdrops scaled to a player's profile rank, which rises with XP from Pins and Badges. Badges are earned by owning specific Kabu NFT traits and combinations.
- Reward structure: The pool consists of $1,000+ USDC, 50 Kabu NFTs, and 50% of Kabu NFT royalties plus external revenue from Oct. 15 until Nov. 23. It will be distributed across the top 50 profiles by total Shards accrued. Shards spent in the Arcade or Shard Store do not count against a player's ranking.
- Deadline: The season runs through Nov. 23, 2026.
Kabu is a 7,000-piece NFT collection that launched on Abstract and migrated to Ethereum in July 2026. Sunset City, the interactive world it built with Otsu Animation, went live on Oct. 14.
What's next
The immediate milestone is the Nov. 23 season close, after which the pool is to be distributed to the top 50 profiles on the Sunset City leaderboard. Kabu has also opened a Discord channel for bug reports and suggestions following the launch.
