Happy Haulidays from the Ingress team! From today until December 25th, there will be a new, free pack of items in the scanner shop every day. The giveaways start today with 25 L7 Resonators available for you to pick up.
There are also packs to buy that come with a discount. It is unclear whether these also change daily.

VPS activations are not possible at the moment
A lot of players have reported that trying to activate a Wayspot for VPS is not possible at the moment, instead giving out an error on Web or falsely showing that the activation started in the App.
It is currently unknown if this is a bug or a conscious decision by Niantic, however given that the problems started to appear around Friday the latter seems more likely.
To activate a Wayspot, players have to create a seperate account for the Lightship platform. That platform however is intended for developers using Niantic Lightship only and is worked on by a seperate team at Niantic than the Ingress team. It is possible (but not confirmed!) that the Lightship team was surprised by the sudden sign ups of non-developers and activation requests for VPS portals and decided to shut down VPS activations for the time being.
For agents, this means that there is currently no way to activate additional portals for Overclock. You'll have to use the existing activated portals or capture and mod more portals to finish the Chronos event.
❗️We want to remind again that the Lightship platform is intended for developers only. Using it to activate portals for Overclock is not its intended use and the Lightship team has every right to enforce this.

#Rumor
We are receiving reports that the name of Q1 2024 Anomalies has been revealed! The name that's circulating the Ingress Community is:
Cryptic Memories
⚠ Although the sources are pretty reliable, this piece of news was not confirmed by either Niantic or by the investigation teams of Agents. For this reason we will still categorize the news as a rumor for the moment, so take this with a pinch of salt. We will advise if and when the news will be made official by Niantic.

The latest Wayfarer Challenge, "Aye Aye Captain", concluded yesterday. This challenge asked Agents to help reduce the backlog initially in Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, but later also in Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong and the United States.
Wayfarers participated in a great number and helped surpass the Tier 4 of community rewards, which was added after players managed to reach Tier 3!
Ingress players who reviewed more than 50 Nominations will receive:
- 30x L8 Resonator
- 30x L8 XMP Burster
- 30x L8 Power Cube
- 8x Rare Shield
- 8x Rare Heat Sink
- 8x Rare Multi Hack
- 1x Rare Kinetic Capsule
All this, in addition to individual rewards for reviewing more than 100, 250 or 500 nominations - the last of these goals awarded a point on the OPR Live Badge!
Keep in mind that these rewards may take up to a week to get to you. Be patient and have faith!
Congratulations to all participating Agents in having reached such a huge goal and a big thank you for contributing to expand the Portal Network
