Islamic regime newspaper Hamshahri front cover for tomorrow shows President Trump holding a portrait of the late Senator Lindsey Graham, alongside Israeli PM Netanyahu, U.S. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Dan Caine, U.S. war Secretary Hegseth, Israeli DM Israel Katz, and IDF Chief Zamir. It reads also in English and Hebrew:
“Get ready for sudden death”
IDF Spokesperson:
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) is preparing for the possibility of incoming fire directed at the State of Israel in the coming hours.
The IDF remains on high alert and continues to maintain readiness for a wide range of defensive and offensive scenarios.
Mainnet is live.
615 days. That is how long it has been since the original QF token contract was deployed. Today, QF Network moves from preparation to reality.
The Genesis block has been successfully produced. The foundation is real. This is no longer a project of belief; it is a living, breathing network.
Immediate Access & Verification
We believe in transparency from block zero. You can now:
• Access the Portal: https://t.co/GJdfQdQhG6
• Explore the Network: Verify the Genesis block and real-time network state.
• Audit the Foundation: See the infrastructure as it comes online.
The Roadmap: An Intentional Phased Rollout
We are not "flipping a switch." We are bringing a complex system online with surgical precision. Our priority is durability over noise.
1. SPIN Consensus: Our current focus is securing finality. We are currently validating fallback and recovery procedures.
2. Validator Onboarding: Once SPIN fallback is fully confirmed, we will release the official validator setup guide.
3. Community Bootstrapping: To ensure a robust start, the foundation will delegate tokens to community validators, prioritizing decentralized security from day one.
The QF Philosophy: Safety Before Scale
Move fast and break things is a philosophy for apps, not infrastructure. QF rejects the pressure of artificial timelines in favor of mathematical correctness and system durability.
Finality first. Safety before scale. Correctness over noise.
This is infrastructure. It is built to preserve and protect the foundational pillars of digital life. It is designed to last longer than the hype cycles.
Mainnet is live. And this is only the beginning.
QF
Start Where Freedom Is Engineered
Is the US economy booming?
The most recent Atlanta Fed estimate for real US GDP quarterly growth in Q4 2025 is now +5.1%.
This is up from the 2.7% forecast seen just last week and far above the 0.9% consensus expectation among economists.
If this materializes, it would mark the strongest quarterly growth in 4 years, when the US economy grew 7.0% in Q4 2021.
The surge is likely driven by a narrowing trade deficit.
In October, imports fell -3.2% MoM to the lowest since January 2024, while exports rose +2.6% MoM to the highest on record, boosting GDP.
However, the import drop came from volatile categories like pharmaceuticals and nonmonetary gold.
When these stabilize, the GDP boost could reverse.
GDP data remains highly volatile.
What can be done on QF?
From real-time games to finance to robotics, QF makes “on-chain” finally feel seamless.
Imagine playing speed chess… but every single move is on-chain.
No stuttering. No waiting for confirmations. No need to jump to Layer 2 payment channels.
With QF Network’s 100 ms block time and hybrid finality, this is the kind of real-time UX we’re enabling, where gameplay feels instant but every move is secured and verifiable on-chain.
That same seamless experience applies far beyond games:
Identity: fast, verifiable sign-ins across platforms
Money: instant settlements
Work: real-time, private, gig marketplaces
Community: censorship-resistant coordination
Data: continuous, trustless sync you can own
This is more than just chess.
This gives you a glimpse of what’s possible when on-chain interactions become faster than human reaction time.
What would you build with sub-second finality?
Q3 = Developer Readiness
We’ve seen this question come up, so here’s what it means:
By the end of this milestone, everything that will power QF mainnet will be live on testnet.
That means developers can start building real dApps for testing, experimenting, and getting ready for production.
We’ll also roll out onboarding guides and docs to make the process as easy as possible.
The idea is simple: when mainnet launches, our community won’t just be waiting… you’ll already have dApps up and running.
Weekly QF Dev Update (Aug 6–13)
Here’s what our amazing QF team shipped this week. From smart contract upgrades to major infra improvements, momentum is building across the stack.
Smart Contract Environment
On the protocol side, the migration from pallet-qf-polkavm to pallet-revive is nearly complete. Panic handling and memory allocation were reworked with cargo features, example contracts were updated and merged following CI fixes, and our ADR was refined with valuable input from the architecture forum.
Infrastructure
Testnet reliability and performance also improved significantly. The team resolved RPC incidents caused by DNS and archive node sync issues, completed a major disk migration to NVMe for better speed, and fixed Grafana and NGINX services. Work continues on monitoring improvements and eliminating IaC drift.
Specs & ADRs
We advanced on defining SDK entities and updated the pruning policy. Learnings from Anchor-style frameworks are being applied directly to simplify the developer experience further.
Numbers
In total, the team shipped 93 commits this week, resolved five major incidents, and merged multiple PRs across SDK and infrastructure.
Takeaway
Momentum is strong. Tooling is sharper, infrastructure is stabilizing, and smart contracts are getting closer to mainnet-ready. QF is moving fast, and we’re bringing developers with us.
