The network was restricted to validators who had run in the TestNet and had gone through an onboarding process.
Phase 2: September, 2020 launched following the ConsenSys Activate Launch. A public allocation of tokens was distributed via the Activate platform. All early supporters and public launch participants received their respective token allocation at the same time during Phase 2, following the conclusion of the Activate launch. Genesis epoch began October 1, 2020 the network ran in a delegated state with no token liquidity, but issuance and bounty was live and distributed to token holders that were staking and securing the network.
Phase 3: December 1, 2020 after the 60 Day Proof of Use Period the network changed into an open state where tokens that finished Proof of Use were unlocked and could be transferred and exchanged.
