Thank you, everyone, for participating and patiently waiting for the launch.

We’ve just completed the stealth launch after a few attempts. Over the past week, we received several messages from snipers and attempts while preparing and conducting dry runs.

Here's a transparent summary of the launch:


Snipers & Blocklist:
- During last week's dry run, we identified a few sniper attempts. Those addresses were blocklisted during the launch.

- After today's launch, once the token became tradable, we blocked additional sniper setups targeting the contract address in a few phases.

- Basically all 53 snipers are blocklisted prior to this message.

- Approximately 39.75M tokens have been blocklisted and are out of circulation, representing 3.975% of the total supply.

- Since we used the blocklist functionality, some intel sites may label us as a honeypot, which is not the case. This typically occurs in the early stages and should resolve over time. You can check our contract and confirm this.


Supply Acquisition for near term operations:
- Immediately after the launch, the team acquired approximately 10% from the DEX to support early contributors, supporters, and marketing efforts.

- Also a portion of the acquired tokens will be used to onboard and support near-future contributors, marketing efforts, and operations until the treasury wallet is fully established and operational. Once the treasury is built out, the remaining tokens will be used to add additional liquidity to the LP with treasury ETH.

- All of these tokens will be vested over time. At Cortensor, everything is either vested or locked.

- We used the disable limit and exclude fee functions for the following address to make this happen. You will notice a few trial and error transactions around this address and the Uniswap router address.

- This can be confirmed at 0x33Fff300BF3B9750fd7C0E65937124633410Eca5


Tax & Wallet Settings:
- Over the next few hours, the tax will remain 25% for both buys and sells. As volume increases, we will gradually adjust this from 25% to 10%, and eventually to 5% for both buys and sells.

- Max wallet and max transaction limits are set low for now, but these parameters will be adjusted over the next few days to weeks.

- These approach is intended to help distribute tokens to a wider range of community members.


Launch Summary:
- 40% of the total supply (400 million tokens) was initially paired with 1.5 ETH on 10/1/2024 with a 96% tax to prevent trading.

- The tax was then lowered to 30%, successfully blocking the first wave of snipers.

- The tax was further reduced to 25%, blocking the second wave. This will remain in place for the next few hours as described above.

- Max wallet and max transaction amounts were adjusted just before or at the same time as this message to signal the official launch to our community.

- Liquidity is locked through Team Finance.


Contract Address: 0x8e0EeF788350f40255D86DFE8D91ec0AD3a4547F


We will be available for a Q&A session once the chat is enabled.

Today, Certik successfully confirmed that we have passed every stage of the Certik KYC process and have been awarded the official Certik KYC Badge. The Certik KYC Badge brings an additional security layer to our project and proves to our community and the world that we are committed to demonstrating transparency and trustworthiness.

There are three different KYC Awards available for project teams: Bronze, Silver, and Gold. When I spoke with the Certik team two weeks ago, they mentioned that since I am the only one completing the KYC this time and the scores are based on decentralization aspects—meaning more than one member needs to complete KYC to achieve a better grade—it seems they have awarded us Bronze status while Geo Risk achieved Tier 1 (the best).

Regarding our grade, we will strive to improve over time by having more team members complete their KYCs as we add members, aiming to elevate our grade to Silver and eventually Gold. Additionally, another reason is the length of the project. Therefore, we will continue to renew and conduct more KYCs for team members. I just want to be transparent about why our current grade is Bronze.

Details of the KYC Badge can be confirmed here:

Cortensor x Messier

We’re thrilled to expand our collaboration with
@MessierM87
beyond GPU infrastructure into a P2P Trading Partnership!

Here’s why this matters:
1️⃣ No Slippage, No Token Taxes, No MEV Risks: Trade $COR seamlessly and efficiently with confidence.
2️⃣ Flexible Multi-Swap Pool: #Cortensor’s pool operates at market rates for USDC, USDT, or ETH, enabling smooth and versatile trading for multiple participants.
3️⃣ Increased Visibility: #Messier will actively promote this listing to their community, amplifying $COR's exposure and reach.

This partnership enhances both $COR’s liquidity and accessibility, while deepening Messier’s support for decentralized AI and Cortensor’s mission. ⚡

Cortensor x Parallel AI

We’re thrilled to announce that #Cortensor will leverage @ParallelAIx's PACT Automated Code Transformer to enhance scalability and performance on our decentralized AI inference platform!

@ParallelAIx optimizes complex tasks using advanced parallel processing, and its integration with #Cortensor’s decentralized AI network enhances efficiency, scalability, and cost-effectiveness in AI inference.

Through this collaboration:
🔹 Faster, More Efficient Nodes: #ParallelAI’s PACT tools will fine-tune the computational processes of our miners, enabling nodes to handle inference tasks more effectively while reducing resource overhead. This ensures faster task completion, lower latency, and improved energy efficiency.
🔹 In-Kind Support: The Parallel Foundation has generously donated 30,000 PAI tokens for our miners to access and trial these cutting-edge parallel processing tools. The tokens will be burned with usage, aligning with PAI’s deflationary tokenomics.

This partnership represents a significant step forward in our shared mission to democratize access to advanced computing technologies and make AI innovation more accessible to everyone.

We’re excited to bring this transformative technology to #Cortensor’s ecosystem and look forward to seeing how it enhances the capabilities of our miners and strengthens the network.
