EOS Mainnet Launch: The Order of Events

in eos •  6 years ago 

One Mainnet Called EOS.

On May 25th, 2018 the EOS Mainnet Launch Group (EMLG) united under the promise of delivering one mainnet which will be called EOS. In an effort to be as transparent to the community as possible we offer our plan for the launch.

The Token Freeze

The ERC-20 EOS token distribution will end on June 1st at 22:59:59 UTC. Per the EOS crowdsale Ethereum smart contract, the ERC-20 tokens will be frozen 23 hours after the end of the token distribution. Once the freeze is completed we will begin the Phases of Launch process. If you have not done so, please be sure to generate your EOS keypair and map them to the ETH address which holds your EOS ERC-20 tokens.

Be Smart. Be Vigilant

The ecosystem will be wrought with scams during this time. Do not import your private key until you have seen a joint statement released from at least five Block Producers that you trust which states when it is safe to do so. Ignoring this warning could result in tokens lost. Please visit https://bp.eosgo.io/ to learn more about block producer candidates.

Overview: Phases of Launch

There are no times associated with each phase because ensuring each phase is completed successfully is more important than each being completed quickly. The launch process may take days to complete.

  • Verify Snapshot & Boot: Snapshot taken and verified by EMLG and third parties. Boot process initiated.
  • Testing: Allow time for EMLG and third parties to verify that the tokens have been loaded according to the snapshot file, and that the software performs well.
  • Enable: Release joint statement from Block Producer community that it is safe to import private keys and vote. Voting beings.
  • Activation - Declare the EOS Mainnet active.

Only after all 4 phases are complete do we have an irreversible blockchain. Until then rollback and restart of the chain is possible. This essential technical due diligence, including validation testing, could take days to complete.

Phases in Detail

Verify Snapshot & Boot

The EMLG will use the official snapshot tool to produce a final snapshot of the frozen ERC-20 EOS tokens. The community is encouraged to use the same tools to produce their own copies of the snapshot and verify that it matches the EMLG’s copy exactly. Once the snapshot has been verified, Appointed Block Producers will be established within the launch group. These Appointed Block Producers are temporary and only exist to ensure that the network is booted correctly and stable throughout the verification and voting process. No block rewards are awarded at this time.

Testing

Once Appointed Block Producers have completed the boot process and ensured that the token balances are correct the network will be opened for third party verification. Anyone who wishes to verify the network at this stage may do so, and tools will be released by the community to help facilitate this verification.

The EMLG will clone the network at this stage and conduct their own in-depth acceptance testing as well. This stage will continue for a 48-hour period to allow for the completion of these tests. If a major bug is found which requires code changes then the 48-hour window will be reset to allow for ample time to test these new changes. The decision to reset the 48-hour window will be at the sole discretion of the EMLG.

Transactions or votes staked during this period are not safe and can be undone or lost.

Enable

At this stage a statement will be released by the EMLG and the network will be opened to the general token-holder community. For an EOSIO chain to be considered enabled, 15% of all tokens-holders must use their private keys and stake votes for at least one Block Producer. The length of this phase will be as long as it takes for the token-holder community to act. So get out there and vote! Many block producers have developed tutorials on how to vote. A community voting portal has been developed and you can follow updates on its construction on Twitter @eosportal. As stated above, Do not import your private key until you have seen a joint statement released from at least five Block Producers that you trust which states when it is safe to do so.

Activation

Once 15% of tokens are staked and used to vote the chain is considered valid and normal functions are activated. All Appointed Block Producers will be immediately replaced by the Elected Block Producers that have been voted in by the community.

Next Steps

In the next joint statement we will release the details of the “Verify” period and the tools used to facilitate third party verification of both the software and the token balances.

Onward to Launch

The EOS mainnet is the first step toward a new generation of blockchain technology that will fundamentally affect how we interact with one another. We look forward to sharing this experience with you, the token holder. Thank you for your support.

只有一条名为 EOS 的主网

2018年5月25日,EOS主网启动团队(EMLG) 达成共识,承诺只会承认一条名为 EOS 的主网。我们致力于确保社区尽可能公开透明,基于此,我们提供了自己的主网启动方案。

代币冻结

ERC-20 格式的 EOS 代币将会于 UTC 时间(世界标准时间)6月1日 22:59:59结束(北京时间6月2日06:59:59),根据 EOS 的众筹智能合约设定,ERC-20 代币会在代币发布结束23个小时后冻结。冻结完成后,我们会开始主网启动的流程,请确保你的EOS已经做过了映射。如果你没有映射,请确保生成你的密钥对,并将它们映射到持有你的 ERC - 20 格式的 EOS 代币的以太坊地址。

保持机灵,保持警惕

这段时间内, 我们预计将会有很多诈骗分子出现。请不要在任何地方导入你的私钥,除非看到你信任的至少5个节点发布联合声明可以安全导入。若忽略此警告可能导致代币丢失。请访问 IMEOS了解更多关于节点候选者的信息。

概述:主网启动阶段

每个阶段都没有时间要求,因为比起每个阶段快速完成,确保每个阶段都成功完成更加重要。启动过程可能需要几天才能完成。

  • 检验确认快照和启动:EMLG 和第三方会进行快照和检验确认。启动程序初始化。
  • 测试:让 EMLG 和第三方有时间检验 Token 是否已经根据快照的文件加载,并且软件运行良好。投票开始。
  • 启用:BP社区发布联合声明:可以安全导入私钥并投票。
  • 激活 :声明 EOS 主网有效。

只有在这4个步骤都完成之后,我们才将拥有一个不可逆的区块链。在此之前,我们不排除回滚或重启该链的可能性。这些必要步骤,包括验证测试,将耗费大量精力,有可能将耗时数日来完成。

启动步骤的细节信息

验证快照&启动

主网启动团队(EMLG)将会使用官方快照工具来生成冻结ERC-20代币的最终快照文件。鼓励社区使用同一组工具来生成快照文件,并且检验它是否与主网启动团队的快照完全一致。一旦这个快照被检验确认,指定出块节点(ABPs)将会在启动团队中被指定。这些被指定的出块节点只是临时担当超级节点的职务,其存在单纯是为了保证主网能以正确的方式启动,以及保证在检验确认和投票的整个阶段是稳定的。此阶段指定节点不会获得任何出块奖励。

测试

一旦节点们完成了启动环节,并且确认代币余额正确,主网将会开放由第三方进行检验确认。我们欢迎任何个人或团体在当前环节来此对本网络进行检验,而检验所需的工具将由BP社区发布,以促成该检验确认的顺利进行。

EMLG将在当前环节中复制主网,并对此网络进行彻底的验收测试。本阶段将历时48小时以便这一系列测试得以完成。一旦在过程中发现重大BUG以致需要修改代码,那么这48个小时的时间窗口就将会重置,以确保我们有充裕的时间对新增的改动进行测试修复。至于过程中是否对48小时的时间窗口进行充值,将由EMLG酌情决定。

在此期间发生的事务或进行的投票是不安全的,有可能会丢失或者被撤销。

启用

一旦上一阶段结束,主网将会对持币社区开放。为了激活EOSIO主链,15%的代币持有者必须导入他们的私钥并且至少向一位节点候选人投票。私钥导入和投票环节的时间长度将取决于持币者的行动效率。“为尽快启动主链,请一起来投票吧!”许多节点已经制作了关于如何进行投票的教程。目前已经开发出一个社区投票入口。您可以在@eosportal的Twitter页面上获取投票入口架构的最新动态。再次重点强调,请不要在任何地方导入你的私钥,除非看到你信任的至少5个节点发布联合声明可以安全导入。

激活

一旦15%的代币用于投票,主链就被认为是可靠的并且常规的功能会被激活。21个指定节点会立即被21个被社区选举出来的节点所代替。

接下来的步骤

在下一份联合声明中,我们将公布“验证”期的细节以及被用于帮助第三方进行验证的工具。

向主网上线进发

EOS主网将会开创一个区块链科技的新时代,这种科技将极大地影响我们之间的交互方式。在我们努力确保主网的成功上线的同时,也希望将此经验分享给广大的持币者,感谢您的支持。
