A Guarded Launch of Itheum’s Technology into the Mainnet

Itheum’s CanaryNet Explained

CanaryNet, Itheum’s Guarded Launch to the Mainnet, embodies a forward-thinking approach in web3 technology. Analogous to a coal miner’s canary serving as an early warning system, CanaryNet operates with transparent guardrails, ensuring real-world testing of unique technology primitives while shielding end-users from potential risks. The guarded launch includes measures like “Whitelisted Data Creator Minting” restrictions of 3rd party NFT marketplace trade and an anti-spam tax, providing security and value assurance. As the ecosystem matures, these guardrails will be gradually removed through community-driven transparent processes.

For end-users, CanaryNet promises the operational excellence of mainnet software, though some guardrails such as whitelisting processes will initially shape operations. Users can expect the removal of certain guardrails as web3 positive reputation systems are introduced. The open, transparent communication of guardrail changes, along with community voting, ensures a gradual transition towards a fully decentralized environment. As CanaryNet evolves, it becomes a pivotal step towards reshaping data ownership, offering data creators and consumers a secure, innovative space within the web3 ecosystem.

On December 23, 2023, the largest Guardrail was dropped, allowing for Data NFTs to freely trade on any NFT marketplace.
