Mainnet is coming!

Welcome to another edition of Midweek With Max, where Hemi CEO Max Sanchez and friends bring you the latest on the Hemi network. In this episode, Max outlines major updates as the community prepares for the upcoming mainnet launch. The official public mainnet is set for March 12, but early access kicks off on March 5. During this early window, community members can begin moving assets, staking them, and earning points. Once the full mainnet is live on March 12, users will enjoy comprehensive rewards for activities like providing liquidity and engaging with lending protocols.

Max also discusses PoP mining and token incentives. He explains that points earned through pop mining contribute to one unified rewards pool. Consistent activity earns bonus points and users can link multiple pop mining accounts to combine their points, ensuring that every effort counts toward the overall rewards. The episode touches on node requirements and infrastructure as well.

Running a node will require a minimum of two modern CPU cores, 16 GB of RAM, and 1–2 TB of fast disk space. For those who prefer not to self-host, third-party hosting options will soon be available, allowing users to delegate node operations while still participating fully in the network.

Looking ahead, the team is gearing up for a technical AMA that will dive deeper into the network’s workings and future roadmap. As the network prepares to launch a full suite of decentralized applications, Hemi is focused on delivering a robust, secure, and engaging experience.
