Arkeo launch target update:
The last few miles are always the hardest, while we are close there is still some additional work left to be ready.
As a result, the target launch window is being shifted to July.
More specifics on the target will be communicated ahead of launch.
As we are currently a week out from the Arkeo target launch date, there is a few more i’s to dot and t’s to cross in order to be ready for the launch of the Arkeo mainnet.
In order to ensure we can get all the Arks in a row, a new target date is being projected as June 26th.
Indexed and decentralized blockchain data will help set the foundation for more resilient crypto applications across the entire ecosystem.
We cannot wait to bring you what Arkeo has been building, the launch checklist is getting smaller each day.
Everyday there are a plethora of new reminders why the world needs decentralized interfaces powered by decentralized blockchain data.
Arkeo mainnet is coming anon.
Why are we building Arkeo?
In short, because we think fully decentralizing the entire web3 stack is vital and we can only get there if a censorship resistant open marketplace for blockchain data exists.
Public testnet soon frens.
Thanks to everyone the team met and chatted with at ethdenver!
Those conversations just reinforced the importance of what the team has been building.
Launch is coming and the train leaves the station “soon”.
🚅
If you are already running blockchain nodes for any reason you will be able to earn extra income by becoming a data provider on Arkeo.
Join the testnet now as a data provider to help us test and so you will be ready when mainnet launches!
1/ Arkeo Update: the team has mostly solidified the code, is finishing up phase 2 of our internal testing and preparing for phase 3 testing (public testnet)!
Decentralization is something many don’t realize they need until it is too late.
Truly decentralized blockchain data is a vital part of the web3 stack and that is why we are building
@Arkeonetwork
It is too important not to be built.
Decentralization is at the core of
@Arkeonetwork
.
Others may sacrifice some decentralization in order to make it easier to provide node data, Arkeo will not because it’s the whole point of what we are building.
A marketplace for truly decentralized blockchain data FTW.
Public testnet imminent - more details soon.
We can’t wait to bring the world decentralized and indexed node data.
Join our discord if you want to get involved during testnet and find out more.
At
@Arkeonetwork
we fundamentally believe in free markets.
Our first goal is to focus on providing the best possible marketplace for decentralized blockchain data.
We won’t try to solve problems the market can solve itself, we will provide the marketplace.
Decentralization of blockchain data is the sort of issue that most users won’t notice is a problem until it’s too late.
Arkeo network is being built to ensure dapps can build on censorship resistant decentralized infrastructure.
A fully decentralized on-chain economy is our best defense against geopolitical disasters.
In order to get that, we need decentralized interfaces powered by decentralized blockchain data.
Enter Arkeo - Mainnet is coming.
We can’t trust any government to build the future for us, we must do it ourselves.
Decentralized interfaces are one necessary component to make that happen.
Over 200 validators have activated since launch of our public testnet!
Many are excited about what Arkeo is building - get in touch if you are interested in running a data provider or you are a dapp that wants to use decentralized data.
We are glad to see the interest start to brew in
@Arkeonetwork
- the problems we are trying to solve are vital for the industry.
Can’t wait to share more soon as we get closer to launch, in the meantime enjoy the updates to the brand assets uploaded to our profile page today!
For those paying attention, decentralized node infra and blockchain data has never been more important.
Join up with us at
@arkeonetwork
and help build a truly decentralized and permissionless web3 future.
More folks spinning up Arkeo validators on testnet everyday as we continue marching closer to mainnet launch.
Would love to see more data providers and dapps join the fun as well.

This next phase of launch will include the beginning of the Arkeo airdrop at launch to help decentralize ownership and participation in the network at its onset.
In a world where governments increasingly try to apply pressure on crypto projects, we think the ability to power crypto application front-ends in a decentralized and censorship resistant manner is increasingly important.
As we come to a close on Arkeo’s public testnet, it is time to move forward into a new world of decentralized blockchain data. Arkeo’s mainnet launch will allow for the beginning of such a decentralized data network’s growth.
A dapp is only as decentralized as its weakest link, and for many right now that is at the blockchain data level. Arkeo brings what we believe is a much needed piece of infrastructure to the web3 universe to lets developers keep building an open future.
3/ After public testnet we will be gearing up for the main even, mainnet launch of Arkeo bringing decentralized blockchain data to the world.
We are so excited to bring this much needed piece of web3 infrastructure to life.
Arkeo, originally incubated by the ShapeShift DAO, has not had any VC funding or other additional investment. Instead it has been built as an entirely community driven open source project.
Arkeo will allow anyone to run a data provider for a plethora of blockchain nodes, offering that data in a raw or indexed manner, creating an open and permison-less marketplace for access to data that powers web3 dapps, applications, networks and more.
Effectively anyone will be able to connect and get the blockchain data they need and anyone running nodes will be able to get paid for providing such data services. A great opportunity for many who already run this infrastructure without compensation.
We expect dapps to increasingly rely on decentralized blockchain data marketplaces like Arkeo in order to power and decentralize current and future applications.
We are so excited to reach this milestone and begin the public testnet on Monday.
The world needs what Arkeo is building, join the testnet and be a part of it!
If you are interested in helping test any of these roles please reach out and join the public testnet!
You can join the discord and get involved:
You can also read up on the docs to get a head start:
The first dapp will be the
@ShapeShift
DAO who incubated this project and will continue to help test during public testnet, but we hope to see many more dapps testing and using Arkeo in the future!
If the docs are missing anything, please let us know and we'll make the appropriate edits.
Already getting some great feedback and initial action from validators joining the network!
Join the network, join the discord and let’s make Arkeo the best blockchain data network!
Arkeo will provide a free market for decentralized and censorship resistant blockchain data, in order to accomplish this there are 3 important roles we will be testing during the public testnet.
We know this will be disappointing news to those who were excited for May 15th mainnet, it is for us as well, but a little extra time is worth the wait to ensure the best possible launch.
Thanks to the entire community of contributors and we look forward to sharing more soon!

This is incorrect - $FOX is not rebranding or changing. $ARKEO will be a new asset (native to the Arkeo chain) and will be airdropped to a number of folks including $FOX holders.
(1) validators who secure and maintain the Arkeo chain
(2) data providers who provide indexed blockchain data for any supported chain
(3) dapps who connect through the Arkeo network to data providers to get necessary blockchain data to run their applications.
@Airdrops_one
@ShapeShift
There have been no changes to the airdrop plans - any further details will come once mainnet timing is ready to be announced.
2/ We would love for more testers to join during phase 2 who are interested in helping us test being a data provider through Arkeo (reach out and let us know if you want to help with this!).
Genesis and testnet validators will receive communication in July on next steps.
If you are interested in running a data provider or integrating your dapp with Arkeo’s data providers please join the discord and get in touch so we can help you get ready for launch!
The good news is we remain on track to launch the Arkeo network this summer.
Hopefully as things solidify over the next number of weeks more info will become available but launch targets remain targets due to the last few remaining unknowns getting completed.
With the date being a target, no target date is any sort of guarantee of launch timeline as the community will be the ones to startup the network at genesis.
If everything can be ready earlier than the target date, it is possible for the target date to be moved to an earlier (or later) timeline, either way the team will communicate further updates as everything gets closer to launch ready.
Ultimately the target date was always a target for this reason, the Arkeo network has been a longtime coming and we have to take this bit of extra time to ensure everything is ready for mainnet to go live, its too important to get this right.

@LeosCryptoman
Correct validators and data providers are not the same. The main difference is data providers serve blockchain data from whatever nodes they wish to support (Bitcoin, ethereum, cosmos, etc) vs a validator which just helps validate the Arkeo blockchain.
