Particl Foundation Update — 2 week delay

The Particl Foundation formation has progressed significantly since our previous updates with the final documents from the Particl team being proofed to fulfill our obligations. We have, however, received some unfortunate news that will affect the release date of Particl Mainnet which is out of our control.

We are proposing a new Particl Mainnet release date of 30th June, this adds an additional two weeks to the well anticipated release of mid-June. Unfortunately, the Swiss Government requires an additional two weeks to review and approve the Particl Foundation paperwork. This is regretful as it pushes our eight week projection from the end of exchange to ten weeks. We wanted to get this update out to our contributors as soon as we found out and sincerely apologize for the two week extension.

Rest assured, our aim is to release Particl Mainnet to the community at the earliest opportunity however there are certain obligations around the formation of the Particl Foundation which we cannot compromise on therefore please keep in mind that June 30th could still shift if we run into any issues with our Foundation documents and/or we don’t have a significant amount of Particl wallets created from our contributors in preparation for PART token distribution.
