Question 1: Assuming we don’t get more information once public mainnet is live, I would appreciate some sort of timeline for node related events. It wouldn’t need to be specific dates, just something along the lines of event “Y” will occur 1–2 months following event “X.” If the 18th of April is the start of onboarding for wave 0 Apollos to mainnet, when do you expect the following to take place: - Onboard wave 0 Atlases to mainnet - Onboard wave 1 to mainnet - Onboard follow-on waves to test and mainnet - Hold first Apollo auction - Hold follow-on Apollo auctions - Open mainnet to permissionless Atlas node onboarding Thank you!

We understand that this is an important and valid question and therefore would like to give as much information as can be given right now about upcoming developments of the Ambrosus Ecosystem. First, it is important to remember that Ambrosus is simultaneously developing its blockchain infrastructure, alongside a number of different IoT products as well as the connection between such IoT devices and the blockchain. Therefore the roadmap below prioritizes the most important milestones of each in the coming weeks and months:

Very soon, on April 23rd, Ambrosus will release more information on its IoT packages, and different solution architectures. This can be considered the ‘IoT’ launch of the existing solutions that Ambrosus will be offering to entrepreneurs as well as different enterprise clients.

On the 10th of May, the Ambrosus Edge Gateway, as well as Hermes Masternodes will launch alongside the different communication protocols and built-in cloud infrastructures.

At some point between these first two dates, new documentation will be released relating to a unique and fully-functional IoT solution, as well as more detailed insights into the Ambrosus Edge Gateway itself.

The Ambrosus developer team will intensively test Atlases running on the newly updated AMB-NET. Therefore the next one to two weeks will be dedicated to testing the new DMP algorithm on TEST-NET. If that works as desired, a final test will take place on AMB-NET, after which Wave 0 Atlases will go live. If all goes according to plan, Atlases should begin onboarding by the middle of May.

By the end of June, a selection of core components of the Ambrosus Ecosystem involving IoT devices, Edge-Gateways, Hermes Masternodes and communication protocols, as well as the Ambrosus Network with accompanying Atlas and Hermes Masternodes will be fully-operational and functioning. Developers will be able to build robust applications utilizing all of the components of the Ambrosus Ecosystem, while entrepreneurs will possess all of the tools, required documentation, and information on collaborating with Ambrosus, in order to be successful in building and scaling real-world solutions.

Last but not least, as it relates to permissionless Atlas nodes and Apollo Masternode Auctions, information can be found in Question 2 of the Session 3 Q & A. To be as clear as possible: The permissionless onboarding of Atlas Masternodes as well as the independent auction system are elements of the Ambrosus Ecosystem that function to make it more decentralized and accessible. While this is an important focus of Ambrosus as it continues to develop, priority at this time must be given to the more immediate goal of ensuring that the network is successfully launched, with all operators effectively and securely performing their duties and receiving rewards. As network stability increases in the mid term, it will then be possible to shift focus and start gearing towards Apollo node auctions and permissionless Atlases.
