What happens when Telos votes to launch?
The Telos Launch Group has committed to only launching the network when all the necessary pieces are ready. These pieces are reflected on the Telos Launch Checklist page: (https://telosfoundation.io/launch). Over the past weeks, the contributors have been working to finalize all of these promised improvements and as a result there are only a few items remaining until we are “Ready.” So what will happen once the Go/No-go vote is finally a “Go”?
(Update: the Founders Rewards Pool mentioned in this report is now closed.)
Milestones:
Launch — The new network is initiated.
Injection — The snapshot files containing information about accounts (account name, public key, balance) are added to the new network. (Snapshots are published at https://github.com/Telos-Foundation/snapshots.)
API Publishing — The connection information for the new network is shared so that BP candidates and users can connect to it. Users may create new accounts and vote at this point.
Validation — Independent parties can check to ensure that the new accounts injected into the chain are all present and correct, and that there are no extra accounts. If validation fails, the launch directors may correct a small number of accounts directly or a new launch and injection will be required for large-scale validation failures.
Activation — The network is now active. Users can perform any function including unstaking to make their tokens liquid.
Liquid Tokens — Staked tokens cannot be transferred. The process of unstaking tokens takes 3 days after which they are liquid and can be transferred.
