Network status

Mainnet launch posture, straight from the repo

This page reports exactly what the repository records — no more, no less. The repository is the source of truth for network status.

Mainnet is planned for the January 2027 launch window. Final allocations and release materials remain subject to the governance and release process. The network must not be described as live until a formal launch confirmation is published.

Artifacts

Where the launch materials live

Everything an operator needs to verify is in the repository:

Parameters

Network parameters are chain state

Economic and operational parameters — inflation band, staking targets, take rate, unbonding period, approved clients — are defined by the protocol's default parameters and governed on-chain thereafter. The defaults are documented on the protocol page and in the documentation; live values on a running network always take precedence and are queryable from any node.

Operators

Preparing to validate at launch

Verify before you run

Confirm the release tag you intend to install has actually been published, that the target network has an approved launch or upgrade decision, and that the verification posture in VERIFICATION.md matches your deployment. Genesis materials should be validated against the published bundle in config/mainnet/.

Validator onboarding

The validator role, economics, dual consensus-plus-identity duties, and slashing model are covered on the staking page, with operational guides in the documentation. Start there, then coordinate with the validator community through the repository.
