Here’s when Songbird “canary network” might start its transition to Flare’s mainnet
In Q3 2021, the mainnet launch of Flare (FLR), a highly anticipated EVM-enabled utility fork of XRP Ledger, was postponed. Here’s when it could finally go live.
Flare will see its mainnet “launch candidate” in Q1, 2022
According to the latest official announcement shared on Twitter by the administration of Flare Networks, its team has prepared a plan to roll out Flare in mainnet.
In Q1 2022, the next major upgrade will be implemented in Songbird, a “canary network” (or “sister channel”) of Flare.
Once implemented and stress tested, this release will be utilized as a “launch candidate” for the mainnet version of Flare.
Then the candidate will undergo tests in the specifications of the main network and the route to Flare will be opened.
This announcement was met with excitement by the audience of Flare Networks’ Twitter account.
The Flare ecosystem is finally taking shape
Flare’s “canary network”, Songbird, was launched in September 2021 to allow its community to experience all the mechanisms of the highly anticipated blockchain.
After deployment of its smart contracts to mainnet, SGB tokens were distributed between snapshot participants.
Creators and enthusiasts immediately began to build the infrastructure of Songbird. In November 2021, the first NFT collections were released.
