Dear Kyberians,

Thank you for your support thus far. We want to assure you that your kindness, patience, and loyalty is about to be rewarded. We have been working hard on our mainnet platform and it is our pleasure to announce that that our pilot will officially launch at 3pm (GMT+8) on February 11, 2018.

Pilot Launch

Kyber Network’s mainnet pilot will commence on 11th of February 2018 and run till April 2018. During the pilot, only KGT holders — Kyber Network’s whitelisted ICO contributors — will be granted access to the platform. As this is the first time Kyber Network’s platform will be deployed on the Ethereum mainnet, we want to ensure stability by scaling up user access in gradual batches. After a couple of weeks, we will allow more non-KGT holders (probably a few thousands) to join the pilot launch on a request basis (more details on this will be made available later). To check if you are a KGT holder, please search for your address here on Etherscan.

The platform will be fully opened to the public in April. Users will be able to use Kyber Network’s wallet and trade on the platform. Our exchange will start by listing at least 10 tokens, with more to be added in the near future.

Reminder: Bug Bounty

As our exchange is about to go live on the mainnet, we are starting a bug bounty program for the exchange smart contracts and exchange wallet web application. The codes for smart contracts and wallet applications are available here (Note the relevant branches are bug_bounty in both repositories). Given that this is the first time we are running the platform on the mainnet, bugs are expected and please report these issues to the team through Github or email ([email protected]).

Major bug finds will be rewarded up to $20,000 (in KNC). Higher rewards are possible (up to $50,000 in KNC) in case of severe vulnerabilities. Here are the conditions:

Bounty rewards will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis

Issues that have already been submitted by another user or are already known to the Kyber Network team are not eligible for bounty rewards

Public disclosure of a vulnerability makes it ineligible for a bounty

Paid auditor(s) of this code is(are) not eligible for rewards

Determinations of eligibility, score, and all terms related to an award are at the discretion of the Kyber Network team
