Today we’ve reached 5,000 Hedera accounts created on the early access mainnet, during phase I of the community testing program. We cannot thank everyone enough for your efforts in helping us test the network and for your valuable feedback. We’ve placed a temporary pause on the ability to create Hedera mainnet accounts; this ensures we can take time to implement feedback and ensure stability of our network’s growth. We anticipate opening the mainnet account creation process in the coming weeks, as we enter phase II of the testing program. The joining of and development on Hedera testnets is not affected. If you already have a mainnet account but have not yet reached your hbar earnings cap, you can still earn hbars by setting up the Hedera Browser Extension and perform micropayments on DailyTimestamp.com. Setup instructions are found here: https://help.hedera.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000699997 Thank you again and please be on the lookout for upcoming announcements.
