Building a stronger Haven1 — an update on Mainnet launch

On September 12th, we held a community AMA and shared an important update about the Haven1 mainnet launch timeline. For those of you that might have missed it, you can listen to it here: https://join.haven1.org/H1CommunityCall

Here’s a brief overview:

After careful consideration and a thorough assessment of the current macroeconomic landscape, we've made the strategic decision to shift the launch to Q4 2024.

This decision reflects our unwavering commitment to building a Safe Haven experience that not only meets but exceeds expectations. We understand the anticipation surrounding the launch, and we want to assure you that this adjustment is about setting the stage for a truly exceptional blockchain ecosystem. We're confident that this will allow us to build an even stronger foundation for a successful launch and sustained growth.

Why the Shift?

Current global economic factors, including the uncertainty around the upcoming US elections, presents a dynamic environment that necessitates a more strategic approach to launching a Layer1 blockchain. Many notable projects have taken this approach to ensure more favorable mainnet launches, from Pi Network to Theta, and many more. 

A strategic launch time shift will not only allow us to navigate these things more effectively, but also ensure a successful mainnet launch for Haven1. Moreover, this allows us to dedicate more time and resources into creating a thriving ecosystem around Haven1. We will secure more robust partnerships, and further enhance the value proposition for all participants — there’s so many things in the pipeline that we’ll be announcing very soon.

Benefits for the Community

We recognize the commitment and enthusiasm of our early supporters, especially those who have been actively involved in our incentivized testnet.  To express our gratitude and acknowledge the delay, we are pleased to announce that:

  • We are increasing the upcoming airdrop amount by 0.5%, bringing the incentivized testnet airdrop allocation to 3%.
  • We will continue to invest in improving the incentivized testnet, offering more opportunities for engagement and rewards — including updating our rewards hub.

Looking Ahead

While the mainnet launch is shifting, our commitment to building a revolutionary Layer-1 blockchain remains unwavering. We are excited about the progress we are making and the potential that lies ahead. This additional time will allow us to:

  • Strengthen our infrastructure and security
  • Expand our ecosystem of partners and integrations
  • Deliver a more polished and feature-rich mainnet experience

We are confident that this strategic decision will ultimately lead to a stronger and successful Haven1. 

Stay tuned for regular updates on our progress.
