Mainnet is live. 615 days. That is how long it has been since the original QF token contract was deployed. Today, QF Network moves from preparation to reality. The Genesis block has been successfully produced. The foundation is real. This is no longer a project of belief; it is a living, breathing network. Immediate Access & Verification We believe in transparency from block zero. You can now: • Access the Portal: portal.qfnetwork.xyz • Explore the Network: Verify the Genesis block and real-time network state. • Audit the Foundation: See the infrastructure as it comes online. The Roadmap: An Intentional Phased Rollout We are not "flipping a switch." We are bringing a complex system online with surgical precision. Our priority is durability over noise. 1. SPIN Consensus: Our current focus is securing finality. We are currently validating fallback and recovery procedures. 2. Validator Onboarding: Once SPIN fallback is fully confirmed, we will release the official validator setup guide. 3. Community Bootstrapping: To ensure a robust start, the foundation will delegate tokens to community validators, prioritizing decentralized security from day one. The QF Philosophy: Safety Before Scale Move fast and break things is a philosophy for apps, not infrastructure. QF rejects the pressure of artificial timelines in favor of mathematical correctness and system durability. Finality first. Safety before scale. Correctness over noise. This is infrastructure. It is built to preserve and protect the foundational pillars of digital life. It is designed to last longer than the hype cycles. Mainnet is live. And this is only the beginning.

Arbitrum froze $71M. Not a smart contract. Not a token issuer. The network itself. We’re not here to say if that decision was right or wrong. But it highlights something fundamental: If a system can make that decision, then that power exists. Security vs sovereignty. Control vs ownership. In moments like this, you see what a system really is. Why QF exists: To ensure the foundations of digital life cannot be paused, frozen, or overridden. Ownership isn’t situational. It either exists. Or it doesn’t. QF Start Where Freedom Is Engineered

Early ecosystems are built by people who actually ship. @QfPad_ is building the launch layer on QF, a place where projects can raise, launch, and access tooling from day one. And they’re not waiting. It’s already live. Presale incentives are in play, early participants are moving. 4 days left.

QF has processed 80,000,000+ blocks since launch. At ~100ms block times, this is what sustained, high-frequency execution looks like. At the same time: • ~437M QF staked (~43% of supply) • ~20.7% APR • 3 active validators, 0% commission • Growing number of community nominators Usage is forming. Participation is increasing. And that’s exactly what’s starting to attract builders and dApps. Not hype, but infrastructure designed for speed, ownership, and freedom. The foundation is here.

QF Network staking continues to mature. As of the latest on-chain snapshot, roughly 437M QF is staked, representing about 43% of the total supply. The active validator set currently includes 3 validators, all running at 0% commission. Validator participation is supported by both ecosystem staking wallets and organic community nominators, with current nominator counts showing 19, 19, and 21 across the active set. That matters because staking is not just about the headline number. It also shows participation forming around the network’s validator infrastructure as QF continues moving toward stronger production readiness. Current staking returns are around 20.7% APR, with network inflation around 9.1%. Validator status, nominator counts, commission, rewards, and staking data are all fully verifiable on-chain through Polkadot.js. Ecosystem staking wallets continue to support network security. Treasury-related rewards remain part of the broader governance path as QF moves toward stronger on-chain governance, where the community can have clearer input on how those rewards are handled and deployed. Staking payout automation is also an active engineering track. The team has been evaluating payout tooling, fixing staking-related reward point issues, and preparing backend work for automated payout flows. The goal is simple: make staking smoother, easier to use, and less manual as the network matures. Unstaking parameters are also visible on-chain. Based on the current Chain Constants, QF uses 100ms slots, 600 slots per session, 3 sessions per era, and a 3-era bonding duration, which points to an unusually fast unbonding window. More infrastructure is coming online. More builder tooling is improving. More staking functionality is being automated. More of the network is becoming ready for real use.

QF dev update - April 27. A lot has moved since the last update, and the direction is still clear. The stack is getting more production-ready. W3zard continues to push through late-stage MVP work. The AI escrow flow has shown stable behavior in user scenarios, live validation has been strengthened, and AI testing for the escrow prompt/model path is complete. What remains is manual demo validation and full generate → setup → runtime flow testing. Mainnet runtime work also moved forward with two separate upgrades. Fastchain runtime upgrade v120 and parachain runtime upgrade v3 both advanced using the v0.1.31 release package. That release included the move to Polkadot stable2603, updated testnet chain specs for both Fastchain and Parachain, and added Staking to the EventHandler type in pallet_authorship. After those upgrades, the release track moved to v0.1.32. This newer release focused on cleanup and future release reliability: removing old migration logic from the parachain runtime, clearing related warnings, adding a parachain release process, and bumping the node version. Staking payout automation is now a clear engineering track. The team has been evaluating payout tooling, fixed the erasRewardPoints issue in staking, and started backend preparation/deployment work for automated staking payouts. The important point is that the runtime and backend pieces are being wired together. Builder tooling is improving too. The QF testnet faucet is being deployed, making it easier for builders to test without friction. The team is also tracking the 1011 staking transaction error and continuing testnet RPC/chain spec updates. More runtime progress. Cleaner releases. Staking automation in motion. Better testnet access. W3zard closer to full flow validation. More of the stack is becoming ready for real use. QF Start Where Freedom Is Engineered

Two community-built dapps launched on QF this week! @QfPad_ launched core infrastructure for projects building on QF, with token creation, asset locking, airdrops, and NFT drops now live. @MathsWins also launched competitive puzzle gaming on QF, bringing leagues, achievements, leaderboards, and burn built into play. These are not isolated releases. More community-built products are already in the works, and with tools like W3zard set to make dapp creation even more accessible, the barrier to building on QF keeps getting lower. Different products, different use cases, same signal: builders are consistently shipping on QF. Want to build on QF too? Send us a message and let's get going. QF Start Where Freedom Is Engineered

QF Explorer is now live. Track activity on QF mainnet in real time: • Search by transaction hash • Search by extrinsic ID • View transfer details instantly This is v1. Focused, functional, and built to expand. Start exploring: explorer.qfnetwork.xyz/ More to come. QF

Choosing validators matters. Your rewards. The network’s health. Long-term alignment. It all depends on it. Don’t just pick randomly. Look at: • Commission, lower isn’t always better • Total stake, avoid overcrowded validators • Uptime and activity, reliability matters • Identity, transparent operators Strong validators = stronger network. Choose deliberately. QF Start Where Freedom Is Engineered

We’ve heard the concerns around staking. Here’s the current situation: •⁠ ⁠No team tokens are being staked •⁠ ⁠What’s visible on-chain is ecosystem-controlled supply, not individual or team allocations Why this setup? To prevent early high APR rewards from being concentrated and later dumped by a small number of wallets. This is designed for network stability in the early phase. Rewards generated from this stake are not distributed or sold. They are accumulated in a dedicated, governance-controlled wallets. No individual ownership. No unilateral access. These funds are controlled by the network. This structure was intentional. But we understand the concerns around optics, inflation, and alignment. Importantly: these rewards can be burned or redistributed back to the ecosystem over time, if the community decides. We are actively reevaluating the mechanism together with the community. No final decision yet. This will go through governance. We hear you. QF

Staking is now live on QF. You can now bond QF, nominate validators, and earn rewards directly on mainnet. Stake now: portal.qfnetwork.xyz/#/staki… How it works: • Bond your QF via the staking portal • Select validators to nominate • Start earning rewards • Claim rewards directly on-chain Important: • Do not bond 100% of your balance, leave some QF for fees • Nominations activate after the next staking cycle • Unbonding is required before withdrawing • Staking is only possible with native QF This is a major step toward a fully active and secured network.

Part of the QF team was at EthCC 2026! What stood out: - Builders are still building. - Real conversations around products and infrastructure. - A need for more truly decentralized block space - Regulation bringing clarity. - TradFi stepping in with intent. - New fruitful connections made Less hype. More substance. That was the vibe. This is where real ecosystems are built.

Almost 2 years ago, we were imagining a novel new L1 and exploring what privacy on-chain could look like. One of the advisors we sought out wrote this article for us during that research phase. He then went and built the very protocol he was discussing with us. As a token of appreciation, he made $QF a fully private ERC-20 on @nullmaskio. $QF is now live for shielded transfers and swaps on Nullmask. Fully private QF is real now.

This is exactly why we’re doing this. Not just users. Builders. Contributors. People turning ideas into real products. Respect to every builder in the QF Dapp Lab. This is just the beginning. Proud of what’s forming here. QF Start Where Freedom Is Engineered
