@CryptoHayes@flop_labs The conversion ratio for testnet tokens should be clearly defined, so that we can know in advance how many tokens we will receive on the mainnet.

Devnet tokens have no value and earn no rewards or airdrop weight. The chain may reset. There is no FLOP token yet: never share a seed phrase, and check links at https://t.co/xKTWEtSre3
Shelby is live!
Eight DCs across US and EU. > 500 TB of data stored in a month. 100s of concurrent uploads/downloads. Lower subsecond TTFB.
We have been head down building a global data network coordinated on a high performance blockchain, free of cloud silos, regional buckets, egress taxes. Plus cryptographic verifiability baked in. Single address with global access.
Customers are live and validating these claims. Developer access coming real soon.
Private Beta starts with the workload.
Testnet began with a broad question: can decentralized storage be performant and cost-effective enough for hot data?
What we learned gave us a clearer order of operations.
Performance. Placement. Control. Economics.
Rather than expand the network around assumptions, we're starting with real customer requirements and letting the network model follow.
From Testnet to Private Beta.
Looking forward to the next chapter of the GenLayer Foundation.
Proud to support the network as a validator—and excited to hear what’s ahead. ⚡
@GenLayer
Edgars Nemše is the new CEO of the GenLayer Foundation.
The GenLayer Foundation has appointed @EdgarsNemse, GenLayer co-founder and Chief Product Officer, as its CEO. He leaves his role at GenLayer Labs and joins the Foundation full-time.
The timing is deliberate. Until now the Foundation's job was to set things up: the legal structure, the token framework, the first institutional relationships and the capital to launch well. With the token launch and mainnet approaching, the job changes. The Foundation becomes an operating organization: it stewards the treasury, brings projects onto the network and supports them with engineers, grows the validator set, and establishes the network's governance. On GenLayer those are technical jobs, and they need a technical operator.
Edgars co-authored the GenLayer whitepaper and has led the product from first prototype to the current testnet. Before GenLayer he was CTO at StakeHound and worked on trading strategies at Millburn Ridgefield, an $8B quantitative fund.
The Foundation's leadership team: @driudor, who founded the Foundation and has led it since, becomes Chief Institutional Officer, leading capital, institutions and key partners. @raskovsky is Chief Ecosystem Officer, bringing companies and their products onto GenLayer and growing its community. Xavi Cabezas is Chief Marketing Officer, taking GenLayer and the projects building on it to market. GenLayer Labs, led by @kstellana, remains the protocol and product company, focused on mainnet.
The Foundation's focus under Edgars:
— Through launch. Deliver the token launch and the network's early operations well, and run the treasury responsibly and openly.
— Adoption. GenLayer's adoption will come from teams and companies integrating intelligent contracts into real products. The Foundation's job is to find them, fund them, and build alongside them.
— Handing the network to itself. The Foundation's own work, grants, treasury decisions and governance, should eventually run directly on GenLayer. The end state is DeepThought, the on-chain organization that takes over the Foundation's role. The Foundation is working to a four-year horizon for that handover, and the work starts now.
More on each of these as mainnet approaches.
Proud to join the @orbinumnetwork testnet as a validator. 🛡️
AuroraX Labs looks forward to supporting the network with reliable infrastructure, consistent block production, and a long-term commitment to decentralization.
Let’s build. ⚡
#Orbinium#Testnet#Validator#AuroraXLabs
🛡️ Three new validators joined the Orbinum Testnet.
Welcome @AuroraXnode, @NodeStake_top and @CodeBlockLabs , experienced infrastructure teams from across the ecosystem, now securing the network and producing blocks.
🔹 More validators, more decentralization
🔹 Independent operators, independent infrastructure
🔹 Every block visible on the explorer
More applications are in the queue, we'll keep reviewing and onboarding new validators over the coming weeks. Applied? Watch your inbox.

Community, give them a warm welcome 🎉

Compute is increasingly dynamic - where it runs, what’s available, what it costs and what fits the workload.
But changing compute often means another cycle of moving, copying, staging or synchronizing data.
Shelby is built to change that - keeping data accessible as compute changes.
We’re excited to join the
@ShinzoNetwork testnet as a Host operator. ⚡
AuroraX Labs is helping make verifiable blockchain data more accessible, resilient, and useful for builders.
Carry the truth.
Power the read layer.
