Mainnet Launch Delayed to Q1 2025: Valhalla Prioritizes Security
Valhalla’s mainnet launch has been pushed back to Q1 2025 after receiving feedback from auditors Hacken and OpenZeppelin. This decision reflects FLOKI’s commitment to prioritizing user safety and ecosystem security.
A Highly Anticipated Development in Valhalla Universe
The core team behind Valhalla, Floki, announced the delay of the mainnet launch via a tweet, stating the need for security enhancements based on auditor feedback:
“We would like to announce that the Valhalla mainnet launch will be delayed until Q1 2025, following feedback from our auditors!”
Despite the delay, the mainnet launch signifies a significant improvement in FLOKI’s ecosystem and Valhalla, allowing for the integration of blockchain gaming NFTs. FLOKI is dedicated to safeguarding the assets within its $60 million treasury, which fuels the game’s Play2Earn economy.
The mainnet launch coincides with Valhalla’s partnership with F1 Sim Racing, expected to increase FLOKI’s visibility and engagement. As part of the collaboration, Valhalla players will gain access to exclusive features in the 2025 F1 racing season.
What Does the Mainnet Launch Mean for Valhalla?
The Valhalla mainnet launch is a crucial milestone for the FLOKI ecosystem, marking the transition from the testnet to the mainnet. This transition signifies that Valhalla is now fully operational within its blockchain network, leading to several significant implications:
- Players will have access to the complete functionality of the game, including blockchain-integrated play-to-earn mechanics and NFT ownership, allowing them to experience the game to its fullest potential.
- After the mainnet launch, players can gain full ownership of in-game assets, such as Veras (in-game characters), and trade them on the decentralized marketplace. This move will further enhance FLOKI’s efforts in creating a thriving in-game economy for Valhalla, a key attraction for the MMORPG.
- Post-launch, FLOKI is expected to be listed on major exchanges like Binance, providing the token with extensive exposure. While the mainnet launch has been delayed, the platform’s cautious approach ensures a solid foundation for its Play2Earn ecosystem.
The mainnet launch represents the culmination of the FLOKI team’s development efforts and their strategy to bring Valhalla into the mainstream gaming scene.
Mainnet Launch as Part of a Larger Campaign
Valhalla remains a focal point of FLOKI’s marketing campaign, with the delay to Q1 2025 allowing time to prioritize user security and asset safety within the ecosystem. One of the primary locations for promotional campaigns is India’s Delhi NCR region. The campaign includes:
-
A 4-week mega drive targeting 650,000 daily commuters in the Delhi NCR region, a vibrant area. Billboards and LED display ads will be featured in prime locations, with 6 large LED screens and 1 static unipole strategically placed. Additionally, 10 buses of Delhi Transport Corporation will promote Valhalla through advertisements in the areas they cover.
- FLOKI is supporting the MONKY token launch as part of the campaign, which will integrate closely with Valhalla to drive ecosystem growth. This collaboration between Forj (Animoca Brands) and FLOKI brings together expertise in gaming and IP development.
Following the campaign, FLOKI anticipates mass adoption and increased visibility with a regional impact.
