Putting Songbird in Flight

Songbird has now launched and the SGB token has been distributed to all addresses.

This document briefly describes the path that the network will take over the coming weeks and months.

Observation Mode:

Songbird is currently in what we term Observation Mode. The FTSO contracts will be deployed during observation mode and the FTSO system will commence. Observation Mode is intended to allow exchanges, FTSO data providers and developers to deploy on the network in a safe manner. During this period, the network may be rolled back and/or redeployed from Genesis. Succinctly this means:

1. Node peering with the network is achieved through whitelist. https://forms.gle/zHisUgitnSEHCGBb6

2. Flare reserves the right to rollback and/or take down the network and restart from Genesis. Exchanges: We STRONGLY advise not making SGB token available for sale or purchase during this time.

If the network and Flare FTSO smart contracts prove stable then Observation Mode will end at 14.00 GMT on 27th September.

State-connector Testing Mode:

Once Songbird progresses past the Observation Mode, Flare will not be able to unilaterally rollback or restart the network. During the State-connector Testing Mode, nodes are still required to be Whitelisted as per the form above.

The state-connector will not immediately be deployed post the 27th of September it will first undergo further testing on Coston and then it will be enabled for testing on Songbird.  This will test both the state-connector code and the operation of the state-connector incentives. This may lead to changes in the state-connector and the way in which validator power is planned to be apportioned to validators that win state-connector proofs. The existing plans are available here: https://docs.flare.network/en/state-connector & https://docs.flare.network/en/validators

During this period we may or may not deploy the F-Asset contracts to start testing.

Unrestricted Mode:

Once the state-connector system and related validator selection algorithm has been fully tested, the necessity to whitelist nodes will be removed. Songbird will then operate at the behest of the validators and previously specified token derived governance functions, the latter of which is mediated through the Flare Foundation.
Testing of the F-Asset contracts, if already started, will continue. If not started, will start during this period and will, when deemed robust, become a core protocol of Songbird. This means there may be halts and/or changes to the F-Asset system during this testing period. After sufficient testing of the F-Asset contracts, Flare will be launched and Songbird will become the testing ground for governance based changes to Flare. Songbird may diverge from this role at its own will through Songbird token governance.

각 거래소로 송버드 토큰이 분배되었습니다. 

하지만 일반 고객에게는 9월 27일 이후 지급될 것으로 예상됨. (미뤄질 가능성 있음)

하지만 국내 거래소에 문의결과 어떠한 고객 응대도 하지 않음.

공지만 기다려라, 고객센터 상담원 자신도 아무것도 모른다. 고객과 같은 입장이다. 상담원 입장에서도 공지를 보고 안내한다.(앵무새)

일단 현재 시점 기준으로는 거래소에서는 송버드를 보유하고 있을것으로 예상됩니다.

하지만 고객에게 지급할지 알 수 없는 상황입니다.
