Zero Major Failures, With Upkeep Still Ahead

The first month after the mainnet launch was drawing to a close. The chain team had just gone through a tense period of replacing keys, while outsiders kept asking about prices and new games. A-Zhen, an early engineer, wanted to give the team an assessment she could stand behind.

A-Zhen said that zero major failures in the mainnet's first month were the chain team's best report card. She did not treat that result as a promise that the future would be easy. Instead, she asked colleagues to revisit smaller problems that had been kept from growing through manual attention and decide which belonged on the regular checklist.

For the moment, the assessment moved attention from the market back to the mainnet's stable operation and gave the team a shared starting point for discussing upkeep. A-Zhen planned to carry the checklist into the next handover. The absence of a major failure had not removed the pressure of monitoring, and coming integration needs would test those habits.
