The reason this is a pre-announcement is because we have yet to launch our mainnet. Because of that, the major accomplishments aren't in merchants/shops using our coin, yet rather the tech stack we've built up overtime. Beyond our consensus algorithm enabling secure transaction verification in just a couple seconds, we've built a CPU-mined blockchain heavily resistant to 51% attacks via a checks and balances system based on PoS voting. We've built an adjustable yet firm spam filter, implemented tests in the node's native language, as well as tests in Python via a re-implementation of the protocol. We utilize both Ed25519 and BLS, taking the best aspects from both, and have a brand new decentralized funding system to enable long-term support and development.
