Network operators will have one Stacking Cycle (Cycle 92) to upgrade.

CCycle Handoff - SignersWith final code loaded on mainnet, Signers have one full Stacking cycle to make any necessary final adjustments to their setup. At the end of Cycle 92, core developers will watch for a successful ‘handoff’, meaning a successful change of the Signer sets between Stacking cycles.Cycle 92 to Cycle 93

### Factors that could affect timelines: * **Testing & Audit Results:** A top-notch group of researchers, contractors, and testers, along with security auditors from Clarity Alliance and Quantstamp, continue to hammer away at Nakamoto as they have for the past several months. This testing is ongoing, so there is always the possibility they surface an issue that needs to be addressed before the final hard fork. * **Signer Needs:** The ecosystem is proud to have industry leaders comprising its leading Signer network. Signers are a critical new network player so if a clear issue or unexpected need arises during activation, additional time would be taken to address it. * **Miner adoption:** As always, miners must choose to adopt the new code. Should they be delayed or experience issues with their setups, it could cause a delay in Activation. -* **SIP-025 Voting:** While there is every indication Signers will approve the ongoing SIP-025 vote, we should not entirely eliminate the possibility feedback is raised which requires addressing before both Signers and core developers are comfortable with the signature scheme. - -Factors that could affect timelines:As always, core developers are committed to a safe, secure launch.
