The Road to Mainnet: LFG 🚀

The road to a fully operational mainnet is the most defining journey for any blockchain project. For Haven1, it represents not only the culmination of innovation but also the beginning of a new era in DeFi and tokenized RWAs. As we enter the final stretch toward mainnet, we’re excited to share updates, showcase our progress, and provide a brief overview of what’s left to achieve before mainnet launch this quarter (Q1, 2025).

Understanding Haven1’s Mainnet

The Haven1 mainnet is the backbone of an ecosystem planned and designed to address critical gaps in Web3:

  • Safety First: The Haven1 network prioritizes security, with enforced KYC/KYB, dual-auditing protocols, and a robust Proof-of-Authority (PoA) consensus mechanism.‍
  • A permissioned-yet decentralized, gasless network: Haven1 introduces an innovative fee structure where users pay fees only when interacting with specific applications. These fees are fixed in USD equivalents, charged in $H1, and are then redistributed. This approach ensures a more predictable cost structure while incentivizing high-quality hApps.‍
  • hApp Store: Haven1’s hApp Store will launch with core Web3 protocols (DEX, lending, perpetuals, NFT marketplace),ensuring that network fees support protocol sustainability and broader ecosystem development.

The Haven1 mainnet is the realization of this vision—a secure, scalable, and decentralized ecosystem for DeFi 2.0 and tokenized RWAs.

Where Decentralization Meets Accountability

One of the most critical components of Haven1’s infrastructure is our validator network. It’s not just a ‘gimmicky’ technical feature but a cornerstone of our commitment to decentralization, security, and scalability.

  • Proof-of-Authority (PoA) Consensus: Haven1’s PoA system leverages a carefully selected validator network of trusted, globally recognized entities. Validators are vetted for their reputation, technical expertise, and commitment to supporting Haven1’s secure and decentralized infrastructure. Their role ensures network stability and efficient transaction processing, contributing to a balance of trust, performance, and decentralization.
  • Trusted Brands Validating the Network: Haven1’s validator network includes industry-leading entities like Animoca Brands, AWS, Nansen, Republic Crypto, and Blockdaemon—among others to be announced very soon. These validators don’t just secure the network—they stake their brands and reputations to ensure the ecosystem’s success.
  • Bridge Security: Haven1’s cross-chain bridge is safeguarded by the network validators, ensuring seamless and secure asset transfers between chains while protecting against vulnerabilities.

This model ensures the network’s security while maintaining the scalability needed for real-world adoption.

Building With Strong Ecosystem Partners

Haven1’s future success isn’t just about the technology—it’s about the community, partners, and projects that form the ecosystem.

Core Ecosystem Partners:

  • Development and Innovation: Haven1’s partnership with the likes of Animoca Brands, Kronos Research, and other innovators bringing their expertise in tokenized RWAs and DeFi.
  • Infrastructure and Security: Working with the likes of FailSafe and Hypernative, as well as other industry leading players in the infrastructure and security space ensures stable and robust infrastructure paired with enterprise-grade security.

Developer-Centric Approach:

  • Developing for the hApp Store: Haven1’s hApp Store model provides a launchpad for developers, enabling them to deploy applications seamlessly while integrating directly into Haven1’s tokenomics.
  • Developer Incentives: Grants and hackathons will ensure continuous innovation within the ecosystem, strengthening the utility of $H1 by encouraging usage across hApps and network services.
  • Advanced Tools and Infrastructure: Powered by Redstone’s oracle technology and Ormi Labs’ subgraph solutions, providing developers with streamlined support for building and deploying applications.

Fair Token Distribution and Accessibility 

We’ve taken deliberate steps to ensure a fair and equitable distribution of the $H1 token to support a diverse and engaged community:

  • Private Token Offering via Republic Launchpad: Haven1 held an early round via Republic to onboard ecosystem partners and contributors.
  • Upcoming Public Token Sale on Tokensoft: A broader token distribution will be conducted via Tokensoft to expand network accessibility and decentralization.
  • Community-Centric Allocation: The token distribution model encourages broad participation across the ecosystem and is designed to avoid concentrated control.
  • and preventing concentrated control.

What’s Left Before Mainnet?

While the progress has been significant, there are key areas of work that remain before Haven1 is ready for its mainnet launch.

1. Code Audits and Stress Testing

Every aspect of Haven1’s codebase is undergoing rigorous review by top-tier audit firms to ensure:

  • Protocol Security: Verifying the reliability of core hApps, such as hSwap (DEX), hLend (lending), and hPerps (perpetuals) protocols.
  • Network Scalability: Continuously stress-testing the network to ensure it can handle real-world traffic and demand.
  • Smart Contract Integrity: Identifying and addressing vulnerabilities in smart contracts to prevent exploits.

2. Optimizing Token Utility and Ecosystem Growth

Ensuring that $H1’s utility is fully realized requires:

  • Staking and Incentive Structures: Finalizing mechanisms that encourage consistent usage and community participation across the Haven1 ecosystem.
  • Final Liquidity Provisions: Coordinating with market facilitators and exchanges to ensure accessible, smooth asset movement post-launch.

3. Exchange Listings

We’re actively engaging with top centralized exchanges to secure $H1 listings, with announcements coming very soon. These discussions are focused on:

  • Expanding availability across platforms to support access, usability, and onboarding of global network participants.

Stay tuned for more updates on the exchange side, coming soon! 

Why It Matters: The Bigger Picture

The Haven1 mainnet is built to solve critical issues in blockchain networks such as high fees, security vulnerabilities, value being siphoned off from L1s by L2s and L3s leading to limited real-world token utility. By integrating secure infrastructure with tokenized RWAs and DeFi protocols, Haven1 provides a scalable, efficient, and practical platform for Web3 adoption.

Supported by a trusted validator council, innovative ecosystem partners, and an engaged community, Haven1 is designed to deliver real-world usability and set a new benchmark for DeFi 2.0 infrastructure.

Join Us on the Road to Mainnet

The finish line is in sight, but the journey is far from over. Over the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing regular updates, hosting community events, and revealing even more about what’s to come.

This is your chance to be part of something transformative. Whether you’re a developer, an active user, or a Web3 enthusiast, the Haven1 mainnet is built with you in mind.
