Phase One done

Now comes the compounding part

@helios_layer1 is executing through sequencing, and the order tells the story:

+ Early airdrop establishes distribution and aligns the core user base
+ Builder grants activate ahead of mainnet, allowing infrastructure and apps to ship before demand accelerates
+ Mainnet arrives in Q1 ’26 with both supply and demand already live, tested, and active onchain

This follows a staggered L1 launch model:

Phase One → social graph + wallet graph
Phase Two → developer graph + product graph
Mainnet → liquidity and narrative converge

The grants phase sets the foundation

It determines which ecosystems gain momentum before the expansion phase
