Hello everyone! The dry-run has been a success, we’ve accomplished everything that we set out to complete, and it is time to kill the network and make preparations for [mainnet on Tuesday](https://forum.namada.net/t/proposing-mainnet-genesis-time/1104).

Here is a summary of all that we accomplished:

- We successfully executed a decentralized chain launch within 3 minutes of the dry-run genesis time. Within 25 minutes of the chain launch, we had 181 out of 205 pre-genesis validators active and signing blocks, comprising over 79% of the total voting power.
- We successfully navigated through all phases of mainnet with swift and overwhelming support from the community through governance.
  - [Phase 2](https://forum.namada.net/t/dry-run-phase-2-gov-proposal/1068) enabling PoS and PGF inflation
  - [Phase 3](https://forum.namada.net/t/dry-run-phase-3-gov-proposal/1085) enabling mainnet OSMO over IBC and gas payment in OSMO
  - [Phase 4](https://forum.namada.net/t/dry-run-phase-4-gov-proposal/1086) enabling shielded rewards for OSMO held in the shielded pool
  - [Phase 5](https://forum.namada.net/t/dry-run-phase-5-gov-proposal/1099) enabling transfers of the native token NAM and thus full functionality of Namada

- We significantly improved the Namadillo front-end with the help of community feedback.
- We tested the UX of Ledger hardware usage, which became available thanks to the extension of the original dry-run timeline.
- We orchestrated a [software upgrade and hard-fork](https://forum.namada.net/t/coordinating-the-dry-run-upgrade-to-v0-46-0/1189/12) of the chain with incredibly short notice and intentionally rushed coordination. Though there were some hiccups and a chain halt for about a day, we were ultimately successful, which in my opinion was a massive achievement considering the circumstances. This was ultimately an incredibly useful exercise for preparing to coordinate any software upgrades and hard forks in the future of mainnet.
- We successfully tested [connecting mainnet Noble USDC](https://forum.namada.net/t/gov-proposal-dry-run-increase-ibc-rate-limits-for-usdc-noble-mainnet/1229) over IBC.
- We ran the chain since November 12 and had incredible community support for infrastructure like IBC relayers, block explorers, public RPCs, and much more.

I would like to thank the validator and user community for your hard work and time dedicated in participating in this dry-run. It was very inspiring to see so many of you show up and be engaged day-in and day-out.

Get excited for mainnet!! We at Heliax certainly are - see you soon ❤.

P.S. please remember to take your dry-run nodes offline!!

Awesome, a relatively short dry run period but solved and tested a lot of issues. Let’s go mainnet!!!

Loved the idea of a dry-run and finally it has come to an end.  
Excited for the Mainnet. 🚀  
Let’s stay strong together. 💪
