In Brief:
- QUDO said its platform leaves testnet on Aug. 24 and the $QUDO token goes live the same day.
- The launch closes out a testnet run that drew more than 60,000 gamers and a single pre-mainnet snapshot, with a whitelist page opened alongside the announcement.
- Payouts don’t land at launch. Launch Airdrop and Games Hub tokens arrive one month after the TGE; TaskOn points convert two months after.
QUDO will leave testnet on Aug. 24 and launch the $QUDO token the same day, the team said in a post on X, putting a firm date on a mainnet that has slipped since 2021.
“It’s official,” QUDO said. “QUDO launches on August 24th. The platform leaves testnet and the $QUDO token goes live with it.”
It's been years we see the QUDO team working hard on this launch. We're all excited for this important milestone
The post summed up the run-up in one line: “Years of testnet, over 60k gamers, one Snapshot. Now a date.” A whitelist page was linked in a comment.
Nothing lands on day one
Users who farmed the pre-launch programs won’t see tokens on Aug. 24.
Launch Airdrop participants are set to receive their allocation one month after mainnet launch. Eligibility runs off a snapshot taken before launch, and requires having claimed assigned testnet tokens at least once. Account age counts from a user’s first gameplay activity while logged in, not from when the account was created, and gaming activity is tallied up to the snapshot date.
Games Hub scores follow the same one-month schedule. A player’s score in Blox Nano and other Games Hub titles is divided by 5,000 to determine the mainnet tokens received, with the score snapshot taken at the TGE itself. Only players holding at least Tier 5 on the Launch Airdrop leaderboard qualify, and the rank is dynamic, so more active players can push others out before launch.
QUDO Points earned through the project’s TaskOn campaign take longer. Those convert two months after the TGE, and only for players at 1,000 points or above. Rank 2 converts flat, Rank 3 at 1.25x, Rank 4 at 1.5x, Rank 5 at 2x and Rank 6 at 3x. The conversion rate itself hasn’t been announced.
Where the token lives
Telos Zero still runs the platform. QUDO put the token on Telos EVM and Base testnets to open access through MetaMask and other EVM wallets, with EVM support in beta and described by the team as a key step toward mainnet.
On supply, an early tokenomics model set a 9 billion QUDO maximum, with 1,024 QUDO entering circulation per block for the first eight years. Of the pre-mined supply, 1.84% is earmarked as prizes for active players and game developers and another 2.16% is held for future community challenges and rewards. Within that 1.84%, 73.12% goes to players based on gaming activity and 21.94% on account age. Developer accounts are excluded from that pool and draw instead from a separate 4.94% allocation tied to games connected to QUDO and actively played. An earlier early-adopter campaign advertised a pool of 18,583,714.29 QUDO.
QUDO has said it plans to list on exchanges after the Telos mainnet launch, and that it is aligning the mainnet and TGE plan with a regulatory framework.
Eight years to a date
Block Bastards, the Portuguese developer behind QUDO, has been building the platform since early 2018 as a proof-of-gameplay reward mechanism that any Unity game can integrate. The Telos Foundation partnered on it, hosting the platform and providing marketing and technical support. Ten games signed on in March 2021.
The schedule has moved more than once. A beta on Telos mainnet was first targeted for the first half of 2021, then late in the second quarter of that year. Later material pushed it to sometime in 2022. QUDO’s own site more recently forecast the second quarter of 2025.
In between, the project cleared a second security audit by Red4Sec, opened its AI Playground in Early Access with whitelisted community members able to publish their own AI-generated experiences, and worked the conference circuit, including Slush in Helsinki, Web Summit in Lisbon as a Beta Startup and Gamescom in Cologne, where it released the NFTribes site.
“It’s been years we see the QUDO team working hard on this launch,” the Blockchain Game Alliance said. “We’re all excited for this important milestone.”
