Fleek Network Update: Current Status & 2024 Preview

2023 was a year of milestones and achievements for the early iterations of Fleek Network and now, in 2024, the momentum continues with the current work on the internal testnet Phase {2}, the upcoming Phase {3} testnets this quarter, and the remaining Phases leading up to mainnet later this year. This progress reflects the dedication and efforts of the core development team, improving and building upon the foundation laid in 2023.
The standout highlights of 2023 were the successful completion of the first two testnet phases, demonstrating the early-stage performance and capabilities of the network. A special thanks to the node operators and community members, whose involvement was critical to these successful phases. You can view the recap and performance results from the first two public testnets here, Phase {0} and Phase {1}.
Currently, the core development team is gearing up for the launch of Phase {3A}, anticipated for release at the end of January, followed by Phase {3B} in the later portion of Q1 ‘24. More details on the release of Phase {3A}, as well as how to participate, will be published the week of January 15th– keep reading for a quick preview of both upcoming Phase {3} releases.
Since the conclusion of Phase {1} in October, the core development team has been focused on executing the milestones included in Phase {2}, the current internal testnet phase:
