#BetaMainnet We are incredibly excited to announce the long-awaited release of the Matic Beta mainnet today. Yay! 🎉 After months of hard work, the entire Matic Network team is proud to release the 2nd iteration of the Matic mainnet (after the Alpha mainnet in June 2019). This is in preparation for the final mainnet to be released later. Tons of work has gone into this release! We have been painstakingly refactoring the Plasma and staking smart contracts. We have also added support for Plasma predicates and a bunch of other cool stuff, such as the ability to mint NFTs directly on the sidechain first (mass low-value NFT minting, anyone?). This is only the start of our unveiling of our Beta mainnet, over the coming days we will delve into more details regarding the implementation specifics. Also stay tuned for further updates regarding projects onboarding to our Beta, there are plenty still to come! To the next chapter! 🥂 Read More: blog.matic.network/matic-beta-mainnet-is-here
