Hotstuff has launched its Private Mainnet, which is now live for eligible participants. Access appears to be gated; eligibility can be verified on the official site. This marks a key step toward broader availability as the network transitions from private access to potential public rollout. Further details on participation and scope may follow.
HotStuff is a DeFi‑native Layer 1 blockchain purpose‑built for high‑performance on‑chain trading. It uses a custom DracoBFT consensus (inspired by Fast HotStuff) to deliver sub‑second finality and a fully on‑chain orderbook. Validators act as financial access points, connecting trading to fiat rails, payments, and remittances. A public testnet is live, with claimed ~75 ms blocks and ~150 ms finality.
