5. Will mainnet launch with 10 MNOs or more? Paul previously said launch with 50 MNOs.

6. At mainnet launch, will the active validator set include identifiable telecom MNO entities, or will it initially be run mainly by Telcoin-affiliated or technical partners?

7. Will there be room for MVNOs to participate, and if so, how?

8. After the audit findings, epoch issues, and genesis configuration changes, what is the most realistic remaining technical or operational failure that could delay us?

$TEL Excited to share the latest update on the Telcoin Network Roadmap to Mainnet.

Here’s what’s new (as of August 19):

In Progress • Onboarding and integrating DVNs for the TN Mainnet Bridge

• Improving the deterministic source of entropy for random validator selection in future committees

Recently Completed • Snapshot support for instant node syncing

• Fork of Adiri testnet to include the final audited Consensus Registry bytecode

• Native token strategy finalized pending TEL3 TELIP Outcome

Transparency remains a core priority. You can follow every milestone, developer note, and remaining step in real time here:
