Valhalla‘s mainnet launch has been delayed until Q1 2025 following feedback from auditors Hacken and OpenZeppelin. This delay aligns with FLOKI’s commitment to user safety and ecosystem security.
A highly Anticipated Development in Valhalla Universe
Floki, the core team behind Valhalla, announced the postponement of the mainnet launch with a tweet, citing the need for implementing security enhancements based on auditor feedback:
“We would like to announce that the Valhalla mainnet launch will be delayed until Q1 2025, in line with feedback from our auditors!”
The delayed mainnet launch still marks a significant improvement in FLOKI’s ecosystem and Valhalla, facilitating the integration of blockchain gaming NFTs. FLOKI is committed to ensuring security for assets within its $60 million treasury, which powers the game’s Play2Earn economy.
The mainnet launch synchronized with Valhalla’s partnership with F1 Sim Racing, and this is ought to bring attention and engagement FLOKI’s way. As a part of the partnership, Valhalla players will get access to exclusive features in the 2025 F1 racing season.
What does the Mainnet Launch mean for Valhalla?
Valhalla mainnet launch is a critical development for the FLOKI ecosystem and it also signifies the transition from the testnet to the mainnet. The transition signifies that Valhalla is now fully operational within its blockchain network, further leading to several important implications.
- The players will gain access to the complete functionality of the game, which includes blockchain-integrated play-to-earn mechanics and NFT ownership. So the players will be able to experience the game at its full length and potential.
- After the mainnet launch, players can also get full ownership of in-game assets, including Veras (the in-game characters), and trade them on the decentralized marketplace. Through the activities that will follow the mainnet launch, FLOKI will move one step ahead in creating a thriving in-game economy for Valhalla, which is a major appealing factor for the MMORPG.
- Post-launch, FLOKI is expected to be traded on key exchanges like Binance, giving the token immense exposure. While the mainnet launch is delayed, the platform’s cautious approach ensures a stable foundation for its Play2Earn ecosystem.
The mainnet launch represents a small culmination of the development efforts made by the FLOKI team and their strategy to bring Valhalla to the mainstream.
Mainnet Launch is a Part of the Larger Campaign
The Valhalla remains a key focus of FLOKI’s marketing campaign, though the delay to Q1 2025 allows time to prioritize user security and asset safety within the ecosystem. One of the primary locations for its promotional campaigns is India’s Delhi NCR region. Aiming to receive a massive reach through the campaign, FLOKI has included the following in the campaign.
- There’s a 4-week mega drive targeting 650,000 daily commuters in the Delhi NCR region, representing India, one of the most vibrant regions. There will be billboards and LED display ads put up in the region.
A total of 6 bug LED screens and 1 static unipole will be strategically placed in different prime and happening locations. In addition, 10 buses of Delhi Transport Corporation will have Valhalla advertisements and promote the game along with FLOKI in the areas these buses cover.
- FLOKI is also supporting the MONKY token launch as a part of the campaign. The token will integrate closely with Valhall and will fuel Valhalla’s ecosystem growth. The token launch support represents an important collaboration between Forj (Animoca Brands) and FLOKI, as both platforms will bring in their expertise in gaming and IP development.
Post the completion of the campaign, FLOKI can experience mass adoption and a great visibility boost with a regional impact.
