🧭 Mainnet Full Alpha Is Kicking Off

Mainnet Full Alpha marks the next stage of the Cortensor rollout.

This is not a one-time launch event. Alpha is the period where Mainnet1, the product layer, and developer-facing tools start being exercised together under more realistic usage before we expand further toward Beta.

🔹 What Alpha is for
- controlled access rather than broad public availability
- continued validation of Mainnet1, routers, sessions, dedicated nodes, dashboard, indexer, and recovery paths
- real product traffic through Portal, Corgent, Bardiel, and PyClaw-related workflows
- identifying operational, compatibility, onboarding, model, and capacity gaps through actual use

🔹 Product focus
- Portal will continue improving as the simpler hosted API entry point into Cortensor
- Corgent / Bardiel will keep iterating on delegation, validation, fact-checking, and the early v4 direction
- PyClaw will continue maturing across research, coding, memory, tools, scheduling, delegation, recovery, longer-running projects, packaging, and the early Desktop App
- Mainnet Full capacity will gradually expand as we learn where real demand appears

🔹 Developer exposure
- Alpha is also preparation for broader builder activity
- We expect to prepare more examples, documentation, onboarding, model availability, and product capacity for hackathons and builder programs
- Portal and PyClaw should provide two accessible entry points, while Corgent / Bardiel can give agents additional delegation and validation services to build around

🔹 What happens between Alpha and Beta
- bring in controlled real usage
- expose gaps through actual workloads
- fix bugs and compatibility issues
- improve onboarding and developer experience
- mature PyClaw and the product surfaces
- iterate v4 delegation / validation
- expand node, model, router, and gateway capacity
- run early hackathons / builder programs
- use that feedback to prepare for broader Beta access

🔹 What Beta should represent
Beta should mean more than simply “more users.”

It should mean a stronger network and product baseline that has already gone through real developer usage, more diverse workloads, broader model testing, and another round of operational hardening.

Alpha → real usage → iteration → developer exposure → more workloads → stronger products → Beta.
