Get ready for QRL launch!

What a year in the crypto ecosystem! I tend to try and ignore prices and concentrate on the project but it has been impossible to miss that the entire crypto ecosystem has grown to nearly 0.6 trillion dollars this year. Quite incredible for those of us who have been in the scene since 2012/3 patiently waiting for the world to see what we first noticed all those years ago. Such innovation and growth in the space is awe-inspiring.

Evolution of the timeline, catching everyone up

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.
