@MidnightNetwork has a very unique and safe mainnet launch strategy. Instead of a sudden transition, the network will start in "federated" mode with a small group of validators who are trusted partners, ensuring absolute stability and security for businesses.
That song, an incentivized testnet will be operated so that anyone can participate in testing and operating a node. Over time, these two streams will converge, gradually expanding the number of validators to 100-200 and completely transferring control to the community.
This allows the network to meet the demanding needs of large organizations right from launch while fulfilling the promise of a truly decentralized ecosystem governed by holders $NIGHT .
