At the dawn of what you would perceive as time, The Founders created the Blockchain. The next frontier, a place that came to be known by all inhabitants as the Metaverse. This was a place of unrivalled beauty, a world where everyone was welcome, & all who lived there thrived.
      
As with all creation, balance occurs naturally. For all the purity birthed in the Metaverse, it would be inevitable that dark powers too would manifest. The Founders knew this, and so, created a means to defend the Blockchain.
      
Thus, the Echo Stones were forged...
