- This will result in a Testnet reset, at present this is likely early next week
- Completion of testing from NEM Group and NEMtus
- An additional stress test on the public network with community nodes
- New launch date planned and communicated (assuming testing is successful)
- Snapshot confirmed (likely to be within 24-48 hours of launch)
- Opt-in close will be extended until Snapshot date
When is the launch snapshot?
As stated in the issues last update (06-Jan) this is looking like February, the exact answer to this will not be known until the launch date is known above - expected in the next week or two dependant on testing.
We will continue to keep you updated as we complete each of these steps over the coming days and weeks.
Getting Symbol right for launch has always been our priority and we remain confident that by following this approach we can deliver a platform that we are all proud of.
