When, what and how: all you need to know

The date of the long -awaited Iota Reabed Stents Stivet Stentarls was installed! On 05.05.2025We will officially move from the Stardust network in New ITA networkField
This post explains what exactly to expect during the update, how users can access their assets and what will happen next.
Below is an overview of important stages leading to the update of the IOTA network.
Preparation of your assets before updating
For holders of tokens IOTA, updating the break will be smoothly, with No tokens migration is requiredYou just need to load your existing wallets into a new wallet, and you are ready to work.
To smoothly gain access to your tokens and assets after a rebooted update, you must have a closed key of your wallet, mnemonic phrase, or FieryorBlossomThe stronghold file is safely exported and available.
The existing Firefly wallet will no longer be supported after the update. Instead of, A new official wallet There will be an expansion of the browser, available on the first day. Users are also recommended to use the additional Dashboard Iota Wallet Dashboard application (available shortly before launch), which provides additional visibility and control options for your assets, including detailed ideas about the transformation of the transformation of token assembly in token.
Wallets for equipment of accounting books will still be fully supported (edit: note that since the nano will be fully supported on Ledger Live, a manual installation is required). However, users Install the new Iota Ledger applicationWhich is compatible with the converted Iota Mainnet.

Exchange of preparation
Almost all the IOTA trading exchanges will be completely compatible with Mainnet updating. While trade will continue continuously on exchanges, deposits and the removal of tokens of the yots will be temporarily suspended during the update. It is expected that these services will resume shortly after the completion of the update.
05-05-2025: Genesis ceremony
ITA update includes a carefully organized ceremony held by the IOTA fund, and the initial group of 12 other validators managed by proxies: ecosystem Iota Ecosystem Foundation, Tangle Ecosystem Association, DLT Green, P2P, Luganodes, Luganodes, Luganodes Twinstake, Kiln, Stakin, Nansen, Blockspe, Daine, Daine, Daine, Daine.
Here is a step -by -step overview of the Genesis ceremony.

Step 1: Turning off and initial preparation
- Stardust Mainnet and Iota EVM will be simultaneously closed.
- Full pictures of Stardust Ledger from several nodes of the node will be made and internally checked by the IOTA fund and validators.
- External audit: post-cream, external sides can independently check the picture to confirm accuracy and transparency.
- Transparent display of old addresses with new addresses (especially for treasury bonds) will be created. The reason for the mapping of the IOTA treasury funds, the Tangle and the DLT Ecosystem association with new addresses is associated with the adoption of a new third -party guardian supplier, requiring new addresses for these funds.
- All initial data will be transparently divided in a public repository.
Step 2: Creating Genesis data
- Using the proven pictures and display of addresses, the master of ceremonies (member of the IOTA Foundation) creates a picture of Stardust Objects.
- Validators officially send their previously prepared validator metadata to a common repository.
- The card of the delegation has been completed, clearly defining validation stakes arising from our treasury obligations.
- Built without the Genesis Checkpoint sign containing the initial transactions, events and systems of the system.
- In addition, the Migration.blob file is created, which lists transactions for promoting Migrated Ledger objects to the database when downloading a network.
Step 3: Validator check and signature
- Each validator extracts a control point without the Genesis and Migration.blob sign from the repository.
- Validators independently check all artifacts in relation to the initial input data (pictures, display, metadata).
- Digital validators sign the data of the control point, providing consensus in relation to the state of the network and transparency.
Step 4: Genesis addition
- The validators perform the completion command, creating the signed and completed Genesis.blob.
- Genesis.blob includes all the aggregated signatures of the validators confirming the consensus of the full validator.
- Validators use Genesis.blob and Migration.blob files to start their validator nodes.
Step 5: Launching network
- Additional Genesis.blob is published in the general storage and Amazon S3 for transparency and redundancy.
- The IOTA Foundation produces a new version of Node software containing a unique chain identifier obtained from Genesis data.
- Validators deploy this updated union software, connecting to each other and uploading a new network.
- At the same time, the IOTA Foundation activates the necessary infrastructure, including the final points of the RPC, the API nodes interfaces, researchers and wallet applications.
- ITA EVM resumes shortly after a 4 -8-hour window.

How to use a new yota wallet
We created detailed guides to help you quickly and easily start with The new iot is a whisperThe field below you will find links to step -by -step instructions covering the most common tasks:
- Migrating from an old wallet to a new wallet
- Sending transactions
- Staging your tokens yota
- NFT management and digital assets

Alternatives of the wallet
To get additional asset management and understanding options, use our free Web application for the panel panel panel of the purse of the iotreleased shortly before the launch. As an alternative, users can also use the third side Night wallet, Available as a web dap, and a mobile application.
Insights network: Explorer tools
The new network is supported by two powerful blockchain researchers:
- Official iot -research Explorer.rebasta.orgField
- Ecosystem development Iotascan.comField


These researchers offer visibility in network transactions in real time, the activity of the validator, intellectual contract interactions and detailed performance indicators.
IOTA EVM Post-UPGRADE
ITA EVM resumes operations on the same day as the launch of IOTA. Users can smoothly continue to use Metamaska interact with EVM. To facilitate the transfer of tokens between the level of 1 and EVM, we presented a new web ITA EVM Bridge Web (previously named EVM Toolkit), which will be available in the coming days. Users are recommended to ensure management of any current trading activities or assets transfers in order to take into account several hours of downtime and inaccessibility of these positions.
Growing a network of validators
The network is launched with 13 validators. We will support additional validators in parties (~ 10 per day) to reach about 50 validators within 4-5 days after launch. In the coming months, the IOTA validator set will gradually grow to 150 validators.
Tokens owners are recommended to actively delegate their share, even more decentralizes the network. Detailed delegation instructions can be found HereField
Accessibility of infrastructure and ecosystems
- Exchange integrations will be available in the near future.
- The final points of the RPC and API will be immediately available after launch. Their documentation can be confirmed HereField
- Decentralized applications (Dapps) will become available shortly after launch (specific parts are prepared).

We are looking forward to the opportunity to welcome you all in the new era of Iota with the launch of the outplayed Yota network.
