Gn Creators QUIP NETWORK: GETTING CLOSER TO MAINNET @quipnetwork is getting closer to launching its mainnet. According to its latest update, the major parts of the network are already working on testnet. The main thing left is an external security audit before moving to mainnet and eventually TGE. Let's break down what this means. 1. What is already working? Quip has several important products running on testnet. → Quip Accounts: These are wallets designed to protect users against future quantum computer attacks while still supporting existing blockchains. → QuipSwap: Allows users to exchange assets between different blockchains without using traditional bridges or wrapped tokens. → Node Manager: Helps manage computers that provide resources to the network. These computers handle useful tasks like scheduling, route planning and generating secure randomness. → Quantum Virtual Machine (QVM): Gives developers the tools to create programs and send computing tasks to the network using Python. Simply put, each product has a different job, but they all work together to make Quip function. 2. What is the external audit? Before mainnet, Quip needs an independent security team to check its code. The goal is to find possible weaknesses before people start using the network with real assets. The audit will focus on: → Proof of Useful Work and the computing marketplace. → The main code that controls how the blockchain operates. → The security system that combines traditional and quantum resistant signatures. Quip has also reported previous security reviews by Oak Security. 3. How active is the testnet? Quip has shared the following numbers: → 27,000+ quantum resistant wallets. → 1,500+ testnet nodes at peak. → 23,000+ blocks produced. These numbers give us an idea of the activity happening before mainnet. 4. Important dates and Quip Points There are a few things to remember. → Quests and Mindshare end November 2 at 13:00 UTC. → Final campaign results will be available on the dashboards. → Quip Points will remain open until mainnet. Users can earn points through daily sign-ins, running nodes, referrals, swaps and other activities. Quip has also reserved 10% of its initial token supply for community programs. However, the exact allocation for each campaign and the conversion of points into tokens have not been confirmed. What am I watching next? Three things are important: 1. Completion of the external security audit. 2. Launch of the unified app. 3. Official confirmation of the mainnet date. The important thing to understand is that building a blockchain is not just about creating features. Those features must work together, remain secure and handle real transactions. Quip has made progress on testnet. Now, the focus is on security and getting everything ready for mainnet. The next step will be interesting to watch.
