Laconic Network Mainnet is Now Live!

We're thrilled to announce that Laconic Network mainnet has officially launched, marking a significant milestone in decentralized infrastructure for Web3 applications. After extensive testing through our testnet stages and with the support of our community and dedicated service providers, we're here to deliver production-grade hosting solutions web3 to the ecosystem.

Built on Proven Technology

Our system is built using the Cosmos SDK, Kubernetes, and the Laconic suite of tooling. It features a permissioned validator set of qualified Service Providers who have officially joined the Laconic Network via SLA with the Laconic Foundation. This approach ensures professional-grade performance guarantees while maintaining technical, legal, and jurisdictional decentralization.

Genesis Ceremony

A rolling genesis ceremony began with the first block at 20:09 UTC on June 18th 2025 when the Laconic Foundation started the first validator node and published the genesis file. This was followed by the remaining 6 validators coming online over the next few days. The state from our long-running testnet was exported at block number 3,851,865 and included in mainnet. This allows for a seamless transition of existing infrastructure and deployments.

Dual Token Model

Laconic Network operates on a dual-token model until future governance vote.

LNT (Laconic Network Token): The currently active token powering network operations and transaction fees within the Laconic ecosystem. It can be acquired from the Laconic Store to deploy decentralized front end applications. There is no staking or rewards for this token, nor does it have any value other than for using the Laconic Deployer. It is not fairly distributed and has a total supply of 1000 Billion, mostly held by a whale account.

LPS (Laconic Prepaid Service): Main allocation token with a total supply of 129,600 LPS, currently locked pending future governance activation. Holders of this token will be able to participate in onchain governance

Token Distribution

The LPS allocation is structured to ensure long-term network sustainability and community governance:

38,880 LPS (30%) - Community Pool for ecosystem development, 25,920 LPS (20%) - Team allocation, 24,559 LPS (19%) - Available for sale to support network growth, 20,801 LPS (16%) - Existing seed investors, 6,480 LPS (5%) - Non-testnet Service Providers (remainder to marketing treasury), 12,960 LPS (10%) - Testnet participants (remainder to infra treasury).

After allocation, the remainder from Non-testnet Service Providers is 5326.4 and the testnet remainder is 9659.9. The former tranche is reserved for individuals or entities that promote the Laconic Network via marketing and BD initiatives. The latter tranche is reserved for new and existing Service Providers that support the Laconic Network with their infrastructure.

Note: LNT will continue as the primary network token until a future governance vote unlocks the LPS allocation and transitions away from LNT. This approach ensures the community has direct control over the transition.

Laconic Deployer

The Laconic Mainnet powers our decentralized web3 hosting platform, available via the Laconic Deployer. It currently focuses on offshore frontend hosting. One deployment, to one service provider, costs <5$ per month, and offers significant technical, legal, and regulatory benefits compared to traditional centralizated SaaS hosting products. The Laconic Store sends 12960 alnt for each 5$ spent; a single deployment costs 9500 alnt per transaction. Purchasers with unspent alnt may receive LPS allocation pending a future governance vote.

Looking Forward

This mainnet launch represents just the beginning of Laconic Network's mission to decentralize Web3 infrastructure. With our unique combination of professional-grade service guarantees, true decentralization, and innovative tokenomics, we're positioned to become the backbone of sustainable Web3 data infrastructure.

We extend our gratitude to all validators, service providers, and community members who made this launch possible. Together, we're building the foundation for a more decentralized and efficient Web3 ecosystem.
