We’re upgrading the testnet with fixes for launch issues this week and taking the next 1-2 weeks to test thoroughly, giving partners time to test their deployments as well
If all goes well, mainnet will launch about a week after that; likely 2nd week of April
(2/12)
Will the chain reset or continue from the current block height?
The team is conducting data analysis to make an informed decision. We’ll be publishing a report with our findings, as we want the community to follow along with the decision-making process

Claiming
The official dashboard (gotrekt.com) will be ready at launch to help you with a smooth and easy claiming process. The team has also built in a recovery mechanism for users who accidentally locked their funds!
(4/12)
If you want to use a hardware wallet to claim EVMOS at launch, you’ll need to use Ledger + Metamask
Ledger + Keplr isn’t directly supported just yet (it’s in the works), but you’ll still be able to claim your tokens using the dashboard
(5/12)
The claims period will be EXTENDED and staking rewards will be temporarily disabled on day one so that everyone has time to claim without worrying about inflation. Staking rewards will be re-enabled later on to be fair to all, when stake is more evenly distributed
(6/12)
Also planned for launch:
The EVM will be enabled! You’ll be able to deploy smart contracts at release, interact with DeFi apps and NFTs, and more
You’ll also be able to perform IBC cross-chain transactions and recover your locked funds right away
(7/12)
On that note, check out some of the cool projects coming to #Evmos 👇
➡️ @Exswapdotxyz: a community-focused Uniswap v2 fork aiming to be the #1 AMM in the ecosystem
➡️ @KinesisLabs: a stableswap allowing users to swap stablecoins with the lowest fees and slippage
(8/12)
➡️ @coslend: an enhanced lending protocol bringing a safe, open, decentralized money market to Evmos
➡️ @OrbitalApes: a new NFT collection deploying on Evmos, with Defi, GameFi and other features on the way
(9/12)
Support for @osmosiszone deposits and withdrawals will be available on the Evmos dashboard within the first few weeks of launch, but not on day one
(10/12)
Bridges to Ethereum (like @nomadxyz_) are coming right away, and can do things like bringing over Ethereum assets which you can then use to buy $EVMOS through a DEX
(11/12)

Hey Everyone, we really appreciate your patience as we work diligently to fix the existing issues with the airdrop claim for ledger + @keplrwallet users. It is not our intention to exclude these users and here's a quick 🧵 on what happened and how we are bringing you a solution👇
First: The Problem
While most all cosmos chains have historically used the same Cosmos key type, Evmos uses the Ethereum key type to stay compatible with the ETH tooling that you know and love (MetaMask, Remix IDE, Truffle, Hardhat, etc.)
This results in a different address being generated than would be generated had Evmos used the Cosmos key type.
Notice how the string <prefix1>dtwarh8... is the same for both Cosmos Hub and Osmosis addresses, but NOT for Evmos? This is the result of using different key types.
Rektdroppers, devs are working through several issues
👉 Keplr has a problem making transactions
👉 Keplr has issues generating ledger addresses, DO NOT SEND FUNDS TO LEDGER ADDRESSES ON KEPLR
👉 MetaMask freezes intermittently
👉 MetaMask doesn't let users make EVM transactions
All of the above issues are known and are being addressed by the team. The devs are doing something as we speak!
Claims are indeed operational, but a lot of things have been breaking in the background.
As we said, Osmosis and Cosmos Hub users rely on IBC to claim so gotrekt.com will have support for this to do it safely
But, if you're following these guides that involve IBC, please keep the following in mind:
Earlier this year we announced that we are working closely with @nomadxyz_ and @ConnextNetwork to bridge Ethereum assets to Evmos. We have been in talks with other bridges for the past couple months and wanted to share more about how we are working closely with Nomad 🧵
First, our goal like many other chains is to reduce fragmentation of assets to avoid scenarios like @sunnya97 pointed out:
We are excited about the value that Nomad and Connext bring because they are focused on security before revenue and their solution offers a seamless user experience to go along with it. We hope to abstract the bridge away from users so they can just focus on their dApp of choice.
1/ Hello Evmosians, it is with a heavy heart that we announce that we will need an additional couple of days to guarantee a smooth launch for the network.
As such, we have made the difficult decision to delay launch until Wednesday, 6 pm UTC / 10 am PST.
2/ We know many of you have come together in the last few days to rally around the #Evmos launch and we appreciate your enthusiasm and dedication to the shared success of the network. By holding off for an extra few days, we will be able to ensure the best experience possible.
3/ For those of you who have been with us since the beginning, you’ll know that the launch of the #Ethermint project has been a long-anticipated event, and a milestone in the Cosmos timeline. We aim to deliver on the original promise of #Ethermint and much more.
1. We made a mistake here since this is the only validator option we've introduced on the blog.
We have corrected the language as it came off as an endorsement for a specific validator and that was not our intention.
The devs will not endorse a specific validator over others.
2. A lot of people in the comments have been throwing shade at the use of dedicated node providers and have been suggesting that we commit resources to @akashnet_
