Load Network

The $LOAD fair launch is now live on the Permaweb Index!

Anyone can delegate stake to earn $LOAD - the native token of Load Network.

Today we reveal the tokenomics and utility of the $LOAD token, and how the fair launch works:

Load Network is changing hands. We're excited to share that Load's open source code and design IP are being taken over by @KYVENetwork -- the protocol for trustless, permanently archived blockchain data.

Since inception, Load has built the EVM chain with the single highest data throughput and Arweave-backed archival. KYVE is the right team to take this further, with their existing network of integrations across Story, Celestia, dYdX, and beyond.

The Load EVM L1 will remain live. Preparation for the launch of Load mainnet is already underway after we completed the Ultramarine consensus layer and final stress tests last week.

Part of the Load engineering team is on deck with KYVE to make sure migrations and future upgrades go smoothly.

Support for KYVE's Trustless API was already embedded at the Load protocol level in 2024; this hand-off will deepen the integration.

We could not think of a better team than KYVE to carry this forward, with their 7 year history in the Arweave ecosystem and shared mission to solve the problem of decentralized storage for blockchain data.

Thank you to everyone that has supported Load on the journey so far -- there is far more still to come.

Today we're testing Load's consensus layer, Ultramarine, with load-blaster

~95k TPS, 2 gigagas block limit filled

load-blaster is generalizable to any EVM chain and specifically built to test high blob throughput
