Join Hands to Make a Different World
Dear INT Community，
All good things are worth waiting for and worth fighting for. Finally, our hard work over the past year and a half is now bearing fruits.
The long-awaited global launch of INT Chain mainnet arrives at 18:30 (GMT+8) on Jan 16th, 2019. This moment will be an indelible mark in the history of INT Chain development. However, this is not the ending of the development of INT Chain but the beginning of INT Chain’s greater challenges and long-term development. From now on, all global community developers, community members and Thearchy Nodes can truly participate in the construction of our IoT ecosystem. Together, we will open a new era of IoT blockchain and realize the vision of “Make a different world”.
At the same time, INT team starts the token swap and node election and releases the official version of mainnet-related products. Related important information is published as follows:
- Mainnet
Compared with the testnet released on December 14, the INT team upgraded the network in the following aspects:
Greatly improved the connectivity rate of bdt-p2p in heterogeneous networks and the stability of INT Chain
Adjusted the broadcasting process of transactions and blocks, improving the network performance
Improve the process of election and rewards which is beneficial for the stability and security of the network
For the smart contract part, added the lock function, optimized the design pattern of token
Adopted suggestions from community members, fixing several bugs and optimizing some functions
After the INT Chain mainnet launch, the previous testnet and test coin will still exist, which is convenient for developers to develop and conduct testing. But the test coin has nothing to do with the mainnet.

2. Node election
According to the node plan released, the node election is also started at the time of mainnet launch. In the initial stage of mainnet launch, considering the security of the mainnet, the INT team will initiate the first 13 Genesis Thearchy Nodes to generate blocks. All individuals or organizations interested in becoming a Thearchy Node should register according to the “INT Node Deployment Guide”. As long as the registration is completed, they are regarded as a candidate node. The top 13 candidate nodes are Thearchy Nodes who are responsible for generating blocks in the next round of voting and obtain block reward, transaction fee and rewards issued by the INT Chain Foundation.

3. Token swap
Currently, the tokens that INT investors hold to trade are ERC20 tokens, which are based on the Ethereum network. Now, as we move to our independent mainnet, we begin exchanging the ERC20 INT tokens to INT Mainnet Coin, a native coin for the INT Chain Mainnet. INT investors are now able to swap their ERC20 INT for the INT Mainnet Coin at INT Web wallet or any of the participating exchanges.

4. Web wallet
Based on the community feedback on the Web wallet of the testnet, the INT R&D team optimized several functions and fixed several bugs, added functions related to issuance of token with one-click on the INT Chain, improving the security and user experience of the wallet.
Users can use the Web wallet to create a wallet, view wallet information, transfer INT and INT Chain-based token, swap token and vote for nodes (mortgage, voting and unmortgage), etc.

5. Full-node wallet
The INT team optimized some existing functions and the interface of the full-node wallet, added the function of wallet import, adjusted the storage structure of data directory and improved the performance of the wallet.
The full-node wallet can synchronize all block data, and provides related business functions such as transfer, voting, etc. Both Mac and Windows versions are currently available. If you are a developer, you can also do development work based on RPC interface provided by the full-node wallet.

6. Explorer
Based on the opinions of community members, the explorer has been upgraded accordingly with the fixing of bugs and improvement of user experience.
Users can view all the details of Block, Transaction, Address, Token on the INT Chain and node plan easily on INT explorer and track the latest Node list.
