Mainnet is fast approaching.

This week’s Midweek with Max covered major updates as Hemi moves rapidly toward mainnet launch. The engineering team is focused on infrastructure improvements, security audits, and final testing of the BTC Tunnel, which will soon be live on testnet. The team is also working closely with partners to ensure a strong ecosystem from day one.

On the marketing front, Hemi has ramped up collaboration announcements, now releasing updates nearly daily. Recent partnerships, including a three-way integration with exSAT and KiKi, highlight ongoing efforts to expand network capabilities.

The team also hosted its first partner AMA and released a Reflexivity Research Report, providing a comprehensive overview of Hemi for the broader crypto community. During the Q&A, the team addressed key topics, including the timeline for mainnet, expected TGE timing, and the role of ETH as the initial gas token until the Hemi network token is introduced.

Discussions also touched on improvements to the RPC, gas fee optimizations, and the evolving points system. The team confirmed that incentives for testnet and mainnet will be allocated separately, with rewards reflecting actual engagement and contributions. There were also updates on infrastructure scaling, including plans for decentralized RPC nodes and the transition to a decentralized sequencer.

With mainnet just weeks away, Hemi is finalizing key elements to ensure a smooth launch. Stay tuned for further announcements, and as always, join the conversation on Discord and X.
