Following the successful launch of its private testnet in September, Skynet is excited to announce that the Alpha version of its Mainnet will officially go live in November 2024. This milestone represents another major step forward in realizing Skynet’s vision of a trustless, open network of global resources for AI agents.
At the heart of this development is the production version of Skynet's Orbit chain, a key element of its blockchain infrastructure. Orbit chains allow Skynet to optimize specific blockchain operations, ensuring fast and cost-effective transactions for AI agents while maintaining full interoperability with the broader Arbitrum ecosystem. As these chains act like tailored highways, developers can now build specialized applications without losing out on speed, security, or connectivity to the larger blockchain world and Ethereum liquidity.
By leveraging Arbitrum’s Layer 2 scaling technology and integrating its Orbit chain, Skynet is positioned to provide a robust platform that handles the high volume of AI agent-driven transactions needed for large-scale resource management. This custom-built chain ensures that congestion can be managed efficiently, even as the network scales up to handle more AI-agent interactions.
With the Alpha Mainnet launch around the corner, the Skynet team will focus on optimizing the platform's performance based on feedback and learnings from its private testnet in preparation for ecosystem projects that are set to go live. Early communications post-launch will provide updates on key integrations and functionalities for Skynet’s growing list of partners, including projects like Metakraft, Armur, StackAI, 0xSingularity, and more.
