From the outset, our team has been dedicated to releasing the most stable, reliable, and functional product we can. We recognize the awesome responsibility placed in us and the mass of wealth that is going to be held, transferred, and (hopefully) created by our network. To that end, we made the mistake of using one set of metrics internally (milestones) and reporting another set of metrics externally (launch windows). We apologize for the inevitable confusion caused by this, as our internal system has regularly fluctuated as developments have accelerated and, alternatively, decelerated the mainnet launch timeline. Moving forward, we will communicate our progress externally the same way we articulate it internally — that is to say, through milestones.

Mainnet has been delayed 60–90 days from our previous launch window.

Whilst it is disappointing we cannot launch at the end of October as planned, QRL has always been committed to releasing enterprise grade code — not pushing releases for the sake of releases. This is important as QRL will be carrying tens of millions of dollars of value — we simply cannot take chances with our users funds by launching prematurely.

Mainnet, upon arrival, must have security grade code as well as meet the following conditions:

Be Scalable Pass External Security Audit Be Easy to Use Be practically usable on the many different devices that users may have (from low powered Raspberry Pi’s to Desktop computers)
