Written on the Day of the Mainnet Launch, April 20, 2024—Commemorating Bitcoin’s Fourth Halving

 

A decade of honing a sword, today its edge is tested. Openverse Network, after ten years of preparation, nine years of conceptualization, and three years of coding, officially announced the launch of its mainnet on April 20, 2024, coinciding with Bitcoin’s fourth halving. This day is extraordinary, this moment eternal. It marks not only the debut of a public blockchain but also the revival of a belief, a restructuring of order, and a digital expedition toward freedom, privacy, and value.

I. Openverse Network: The Continuation of Belief, the Leap of Technology

Openverse Network is a decentralized smart contract platform, an infinitely scalable multi-chain interaction protocol, and an open-source, autonomous ecosystem centered on users and developers. It is not merely a blockchain but a vessel for ideals, a technical manuscript for civilizational evolution.

Born from a whitepaper, realized in code, and flourishing through community.

In 2014, the Openverse whitepaper was completed. At that time, blockchain was still in its infancy, and smart contracts were just emerging. Yet, we foresaw infinite possibilities, envisioning a free, interconnected, low-barrier, permissionless metaverse infrastructure protocol.

In 2021, Openverse’s code was first written. After seven years of refinement, we embarked on the journey from theory to reality, using Rust as its backbone, consensus mechanisms as its soul, and modular design as its framework to build the infrastructure of the future.

On April 20, 2024, the Openverse Network mainnet went live. The mainnet is operational, the chain is alive, and smart contracts are now born, grown, and self-governed on-chain.

This is the moment we have awaited; this is the intersection of history and the future.

II. Mainnet Launch: Not Just a Beginning, But a Manifesto

The mainnet launch is not merely a deployment, not just the activation of nodes, nor simply the execution of code. No. It is a manifesto, a cry against centralization, a challenge to the existing financial order, and a heartfelt declaration of technologists’ pursuit of freedom.

It is a tribute to time, the fulfillment of belief, and the revival of ideals.

It is a victory for decentralization, a fortress against censorship, and the continuation of an inextinguishable flame.

It is a home for builders, a dream for libertarians, and the future for all users.

The mainnet launch signifies that Openverse has officially entered a phase of self-operation, self-governance, and self-evolution. Developers can freely deploy contracts, users can securely control their assets, nodes can participate equally in consensus, and protocols can run without permission. On-chain logic will no longer rely on human intervention, and governance will be determined by consensus, not command.

III. Echoes of History, the Call of the Future

We chose April 20 not by mere coincidence. It is the day of Bitcoin’s fourth halving, a time when the spirit of Satoshi Nakamoto is reawakened. In the past three halvings, we witnessed Bitcoin’s rise from obscurity to mainstream adoption. Now, with the fourth halving, we believe a new reconstruction of value order will unfold on Openverse Network.

Like Satoshi, we do not chase short-term gains—we forge long-term trust.
Like the cypherpunks, we do not cater to power—we build tools for freedom.
Like open-source warriors, we fear no failure—we iterate, rebuild, and advance relentlessly.

IV. The Vision of Openverse Network: Not Just a Chain, But a Universe

Openverse is not a closed world, not a single protocol, not an isolated island. It is an open web, a city of value, a public domain where everyone can participate, own, and build.

We provide developers with the most powerful toolkits, the clearest standards, and the fairest incentives.
We offer users the simplest experience, the most transparent rules, and the most reliable protection.
We design nodes with the most stable architecture, the most open permissions, and the most decentralized roadmap.

We are not just building a chain—we are constructing a “universe.” A foundational protocol for the metaverse, a base layer for digital order, a coded constitution for the society of the future.

V. Closing Words: A Beginning and a Return

A decade of effort, born from a whitepaper, realized in code, and now standing as a mainnet. Openverse Network is not the end but the beginning; not a completion but a commencement.

It is the return of belief, the awakening of technology, and the turning of an era.
We have crossed wastelands, weathered skepticism, and endured solitude.
But today, we greet the dawn of the mainnet.

From now on, Openverse will no longer be just a vision in a whitepaper—it will be a reality woven together by developers, users, and nodes worldwide.

The mainnet is live. The revolution has begun. The future is here.
