Dear Nebulas community members,

Nebulas NOVA has officially gone live today, April 15 (UTC+8) 2019.

After more than 7 months of development and testing, the Nebulas Technical Committee is proud to announce the release of the latest version of Nebulas — marking the mainnet upgrade from “Eagle Nebula” to “Nebulas NOVA.”

Nebulas NOVA is the first public blockchain with native on-chain incentives which will provide essential support for community collaboration on the Nebulas network this year. The release of Nebulas NOVA marks the completion and release of new core functions on the Nebulas Mainnet which include three core technical features: on-chain Nebulas Rank (NR), Nebulas Blockchain Runtime Environment (NBRE) and Developer Incentive Protocol (DIP).
