Shardeum Mainnet Launch Set for May 5, 2025, With Global Launch Parties Planned

Shardeum will launch its mainnet on May 5, 2025, the project announced in a recent update. The blockchain platform, known for its dynamic sharding technology, delayed its debut to ensure that all systems run smoothly and to take advantage of better market conditions.

The mainnet launch will mark a major milestone for Shardeum as it moves from testing to live operation. The project has held several testnets, including Liberty, Sphinx, and Atomium, to gauge network performance and community engagement. The team said that these efforts have paved the way for a strong and reliable launch.

In celebration of the mainnet’s arrival, Shardeum is planning a series of launch parties. These events will be held both online and in select global locations and will offer a chance for community members, developers, and investors to join in the excitement.

The launch parties are expected to feature live demonstrations, discussions with the development team, and giveaways to recognize early supporters. Organizers say the events will provide a forum for participants to learn more about the technology and ask questions directly to project leaders.

The new launch date comes after multiple delays. Shardeum’s leadership explained that by postponing the launch, they could better prepare the network for a smooth transition and protect investors during times of market turbulence.

The launch will not only introduce Shardeum’s low-cost, scalable blockchain but also set the stage for a community-driven celebration of innovation.

The company will share more details on the schedule and locations of the launch parties in the coming week. These events are part of a broader effort by Shardeum to build a strong, global community and to underscore its commitment to transparency and user engagement.
