+## Lelantus Spark mainnet release date?
+
+During the past 3 months of testnet of Lelantus Spark, we’ve been hard at work resolving issues and bugs and are finally ready to confirm the release schedule of Lelantus Spark on Firo’s mainnet. 
+
+We would like to thank our FiroFam who have been reporting bugs through our [Spark Testnet Bug Bounty program](https://firo.org/2023/07/31/lelantus-spark-testnet-launched.html#bug-bounty-your-feedback-matters)!
+
+We’ll be making available binaries in preparation for Lelantus Spark activation later this month in **November** with mainnet activation in **January 2024**. This will give sufficient time for Firo’s ecosystem to upgrade taking into account the year-end holiday period. Exact dates will be provided with the binary release. So please stay tuned!
+
+Thank you for your continued support in making Lelantus Spark a reality as we usher in a new era of privacy that is the culmination of years of research and development!
+
+## Release dates

+* **Binary Release date:** November, 2023
