Dear Titan Network Community,

Today, we are writing to share a pivotal update on our path to mainnet. This is an announcement about a new strategic evolution that will redefine the future of Titan Network and solidify its position as the undisputed leader in the DePIN space.

After extensive analysis and strategic planning, we have decided to postpone our mainnet launch. We know this is a significant shift from our previous target, and we want to thank you for your incredible patience and unwavering support. This decision was not made lightly. It is the result of our project's success, the rapid growth of our ecosystem, and a once-in-a-generation opportunity to elevate Titan Network to a scale we had only dreamed of.

Let's walk through why this evolution is necessary and how it sets us up for a landmark launch.

1. The Strategic Mainnet Evolution

Our primary goal has always been to deliver a robust, secure, and massively valuable protocol for all participants. The factors driving this new timeline are all centered on achieving that goal on a far grander scale.

1.1. Where We Are

We remain committed to the goal outlined earlier: a robust, secure, revenue‑driven protocol. Testnet 4 validated bandwidth PMF, and we have expanded into IP leasing with real user traction. To launch responsibly, we need to finish tokenomics, complete security reviews, and validate at scale across CDN, IP leasing, and core blockchain components.

At the same time, we are upgrading our foundation by migrating to Ethereum ecosystem. This raises the ceiling for Titan's ecosystem - bringing native ETH, wallet/exchange interoperability, and developer familiarity - so builders and users can participate without switching stacks.

1.2. Migrating to an Ethereum Ecosystem

The single most significant driver of our new timeline is also our most significant upgrade: Titan Network is moving to a major Ethereum L2. This is more than a technical change; it is a strategic migration to the heart of the Web3 economy. This move unlocks immense value and was made possible by a deep, strategic partnership with the destination chain, which will support us with marketing, community, and ecosystem resources to ensure a powerful launch.

This migration requires significant engineering work, but the outcome is a network that is more secure, more accessible, and seamlessly integrated into a multi-trillion-dollar ecosystem from day one.

1.3. Finalizing Tokenomics & Testing

The mainnet transition, combined with the complexity of our multi-asset ecosystem (CDN, IP Leasing, Storage, and Compute), requires a final, rigorous phase of tokenomic modeling and end-to-end testing. We are taking the extra time to ensure every core function is battle-tested and that our economic model is perfectly calibrated for the new environment, ensuring long-term sustainability and value for all participants.

This means that when TNT launches, it will no longer be an isolated asset but will be immediately integrated into Ethereum's core network, with its capital, liquidity, and community. This is crucial for the stability and long-term growth of TNT's value. We have chosen to take more time in exchange for a starting point value that far exceeds expectations.

1.4. The Success of IP Leasing

Our last strategic update introduced IP leasing. This wasn't in our original roadmap, but we saw a massive opportunity. Your support for this initiative has been phenomenal, with the community driving the adoption of our browser plugin to over 100,000 users.

This success validated our approach but also added a new, critical component to our ecosystem. This strategic extension ensures we can fully integrate this valuable service and its unique economic model into the mainnet architecture. We appreciate your support in making this feature a cornerstone of the Titan ecosystem.

2. Our Path Forward

With these strategic decisions made, we are now entering the final stage of our journey to mainnet with a clear and accelerated plan.

2.1. Entering the Final Testnet Stage

The core functionalities of the network are now feature-complete. We are not anticipating any new testnets or major feature additions before the mainnet launch.

Our engineering focus has shifted to business value creation, network stabilization, performance optimization, and rapid economic balancing on the new blockchain architecture. Expect a faster pace of testnet updates and parameter adjustments as we fine-tune the engine for launch.

While our engineering focus has evolved, our business development has continued to move at full speed. We want to be clear: critical launch components are already in place. We have secured agreements with top-tier exchanges, market makers, and marketing partners who are ready to support our Mainnet. We held off on announcing these partnerships because we believe in delivering on technology and fundamentals first.

2.2. Extra Focus on Sustainable Tokenomics

Our objective for the next steps of Tokenomic Finalization is to balance real demand with realistic participant behavior:

• Demand‑linked burns: As commercial revenue grows, burns scale with usage.
• Controlled emissions: APR and unlocks are tuned to avoid excess dilution while maintaining profitable participation.
• Operator viability: Stablecoin conversion reduces forced selling and supports consistent uptime.
• Ethereum L2 alignment: Token mechanics and distribution will be updated for the new chain environment (fees, bridges, yield venues, liquidity programs) and published before mainnet.

As already outlined in the past update, we will now be moving fast with shipping the updates in the ongoing testnets to validate our parameters and final design before the mainnet launch. Your support and participation are deeply appreciated, and the more you are involved in different Titan Ecosystem activities, the more ready and protected we will be for the mainnet launch.

2.3. Near‑Term Milestones

• Destination chain reveal: Public announcement and integration plan will be shared as soon as final agreements are signed.
• TNT3 L1 miners: Additional solutions for existing L1 TNT3 miners will be designed and implemented by October 2025.
• Tokenomics release: Updated model (APR cadence, fee/burn mechanics, unlock schedules) and tokenomic paper published by Q4 2025.
• Cadence: Expect iterative testnet releases focused on stability and parameter tuning, rather than introducing new features.
• Go‑to‑market: We have secured exchange listings, market‑making, and marketing support. The announcements with details will be made and aligned with the Mainnet and TGE window.

These are all the items that the Titan Team has been actively working on over the past months. We appreciate your patience and faith in the ecosystem as we build the ultimate version of the Network together with you.

3. The Unshakeable Foundation: Why We Will Win

We are confident in this new path because our vision is built on an unshakeable foundation of real-world success. This strategic extension is an investment in a future that is already taking shape.

• We are a real business, not just a crypto rug. We have real Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR), serve top-tier Web2 clients, including giants like TikTok and Tencent, and entering large, enterprise-grade markets.
• We have unparalleled scale and growth potential. With 1.7+ million nodes, we are already a dominant player in the DePIN space. We have a clear, executable path to becoming the undisputed industry leader, targeting over 10 million revenue-generating nodes.
• We have top-tier industry backing. We are recognized and supported by the best in both worlds. We are in deep discussions with Web2 infrastructure leaders like Cloudflare, are backed by a Meta board member and top-tier ecosystem advisors, and are supported by Web3 titans like Filecoin, Arrington Capital, and Cointelegraph.

All of this gives us the unwavering confidence that we are building something truly monumental. We know schedule changes are hard. We believe this strategic evolution is the final, critical step to ensure that the Titan Network launches not just as another protocol, but as a global standard with long-term value. Our focus is on launching the right network, on the right foundation, at the right time.

Thank you for your trust, your patience, and your partnership. The future we are building together is brighter than ever.

Sincerely,

Titan Network Team
