Pactus Mainnet Launch

We are thrilled to announce that the much-awaited Mainnet Launch of The Pactus Blockchain is finally here! On 24th January 2024 at 20:24 UTC, we will be taking a significant step forward and transitioning from the Testnet to our official Mainnet.

This momentous occasion wouldn't have been possible without your unwavering support and the enthusiasm exhibited by our invaluable Testnet participants. Your dedication, feedback, and commitment to improvement, coupled with the tireless efforts of our development team, have brought us to this exciting milestone.

What is Pactus?

Pactus is a Blockchain focused on decentralization
Pactus is built on the principle that a fair and transparent system can only be achieved through decentralization. Unlike many other blockchain platforms, Pactus aims to eliminate the potential for centralization and manipulation by removing the need for delegation and miners. This allows anyone to become a part of the ecosystem and ensures that the platform remains truly decentralized.

Pactus Blockchain utilizes a revolutionary Solid State Proof of Stake Consensus (SSPOS)
Traditionally, blockchain networks rely on Proof of Work (PoW) or Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus algorithms, which can be energy-intensive or limit participation. Pactus Blockchain offers a unique alternative with SSPoS, which utilizes a dynamic committee of validators that are responsible for creating new blocks. This approach drastically reduces the environmental impact and resource usage, while also significantly increasing transaction speed and network scalability. By investing in Pactus, you join the movement towards sustainable blockchain technology.

Pactus is user-friendly
Pactus aims to create a user-friendly blockchain that can be easily used by anyone, not just tech experts. Our protocol is designed to be simple, easy to maintain, and develop. Pactus offers a simple GUI application that makes it easy for users to run a node.

Pactus uses a percentage-based fee model
Transaction fees are calculated based on a percentage model with a minimum and maximum fee. These parameters provide greater control over the fee structure and prevent overpaying or underpaying. The percentage-based model ensures fairness and predictability, and can be adjusted through consensus among all validators.

We hope you can come join us on this revolutionary journey.

Best Regards,
Team Pactus

It is no longer possible to obtain test tokens. The test network has been closed and is waiting for the main network to be launched.?

Yes that is the case. We launch Mainnet on 24th January 2024 @ 20:24 UTC.

The Launching of Pactus Mainnet: A Revolution for the Blockchain World!

Before we start, we want to take a moment to thank all the people who have made this possible. We want to thank our Founder and CEO, technical & marketing team, community managers, contributors, and also our beloved community. You are the mind, body and soul of Pactus. Without you, Pactus would not be possible. You are the reason why we have a dream. A dream of a world where blockchain technology is not a privilege, but a right for everyone. We are deeply grateful.

Our Mainnet is the result of years of hard work, research, and innovation. It started from one idea: the idea of a low-cost, truly decentralized blockchain, built by the people for the people, where anyone could run and be their own validator. We faced many challenges and obstacles along the way, but we never gave up. We overcame them with our determination and perseverance. We learned from our mistakes and improved our solutions. We grew from a small team to a large community. We achieved many milestones and breakthroughs. And we did it. We created Pactus, the platform that empowers you.

We want to thank you again for helping us on the Testnet. You have been instrumental in testing and improving the Testnet. You have given us your honest feedback and constructive suggestions. You have reported and help fixed bugs and errors. You have challenged and pushed us to do better. You have been our partners and friends in this journey.

But don’t relax just yet. The Testnet was the foundation, now we begin building the full blockchain masterpiece. The true journey has just started. The Mainnet is not the end, but the beginning. The beginning of a new era of blockchain innovation. The beginning of a new challenge and opportunity. The beginning of a new revolution and evolution!

We welcome you more than ever. We need you to join us in this exciting adventure. We need you to support us in this ambitious endeavor. We need you to be part of Pactus, the platform that empowers you!

We have a dream. A dream of a world where blockchain technology is not a privilege, but a right for everyone. A dream of a world where smart contracts and decentralized applications are fast, secure, and scalable. A dream of a world where Pactus is the platform that empowers you.

This dream is not just ours. It is yours too. You share our vision and passion for blockchain innovation. You believe in our potential and impact. You support our goals and values. You are part of our dream.

This dream is not just a fantasy. It is a reality. A reality that we have created together. A reality that we have launched today. A reality that we can explore and enjoy together. A reality that we can shape and improve together. A reality that we can make better and brighter together!

Now that our Mainnet has launched, you might be curious about what’s next. Well, we have some good news for you. You can take a short rest and celebrate. But don’t worry, we won’t keep you waiting for too long. We will announce in the next few days how the Mainnet works and also about the rewards that you will receive. Stay tuned for more details and exciting news. We appreciate your patience and support. We are looking forward to sharing more with you soon.

We have come to the end of our announcement. We hope you are as excited and happy as we are. We have achieved a great milestone today, but we know that this is just the beginning. We have a long way to go, and we need your help and support to make our dream a reality!

We look forward to working with you, hearing from you, and seeing you on Pactus Mainnet. We look forward to creating the future with you. We look forward to being part of your dream!

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

To the Future,
Pactus Team

Dear Pactus Community, @everyone

We want to address a serious issue that has impacted our reward distribution system and outline the steps we are taking to ensure the integrity of our network.

Exploit Discovery:
Recently, a vulnerability was exploited by unauthorized parties, disrupting the normal allocation of rewards and affecting how rewards were distributed to our users.

Initial Response & Escalation:
Upon discovering the exploit, we quickly developed and implemented a patch to mitigate these disruptions. However, the attackers escalated their efforts with spam attacks, contributing to network lag. Our team responded promptly to these aggressive tactics to protect your interests.

The list of banned addresses can be found here: https://github.com/pactus-project/pactus/blob/main/config/banned.json. If your address is on this list and you believe this to be a mistake, please contact @ace2go immediately.

Security Enhancements & Operations Update:
Our team is actively reviewing and improving our security protocols to prevent similar issues in the future. Thanks to their hard work, all operations are now back to normal. We will keep monitoring the system to ensure its integrity and functionality.

Community Engagement:
We encourage all community members to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity. Additionally, we welcome any suggestions on how to strengthen our security measures. Your input is invaluable as we strive to improve.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this has caused and appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through these challenges. Thank you for your continued support and cooperation.
