Mainnet Transition

Definition

A mainnet transition is the official launch of a fully operational, independent blockchain network after a period of development and testing. This event marks the shift from a test network or development phase to a live, public network where real transactions occur and digital assets hold actual economic value. It signifies a critical milestone for blockchain projects, indicating readiness for widespread adoption and the execution of smart contracts in a production environment. A successful mainnet transition is a testament to a project’s technical maturity and operational readiness.
