Chapter 1: The Night of the Mainnet

In an era where block height determines fate, a single contract can overthrow an empire, and a private key can decide the life or death of a civilization. And on the ruins of EOS, a group of idealists and ambitious individuals are quietly rebooting the underlying logic of human trust systems. Their plan is called Vaulta.

Chapter 1: The Night of the Mainnet

Section 1: The Final Vote

June 1, 2018.

3:27 AM.

Lin Qingyuan watched as hundreds of messages scrolled rapidly in the Telegram chat room, like witnessing a war without smoke. He had stopped drinking coffee, and his fingertips were slightly trembling. The voting for the EOS mainnet was entering its final 12 hours, and global supernode operators were racing against time for the last 0.3% voting rate.

"This is not a launch, this is a sacrifice," he murmured to himself.

For him, this mainnet launch was far more than a technical milestone; it was a political ritual—a coronation of a borderless republic. Unfortunately, this republic had been controlled by capital from the very beginning.

He opened an unnamed document. The title was short: Vaulta.

This was a backup plan he had privately drafted with another anonymous developer—if EOS failed, if this world continued to choose centralization and monopoly, then they would use Vaulta to reboot an experiment in idealism.

The chat room suddenly fell silent for a moment, then a system prompt popped up:

✅ "Mainnet Activation: Voting threshold reached, the EOS mainnet will officially launch at block height 9600034."

Lin Qingyuan lit a cigarette, with no celebration whatsoever. He knew that the real battle had just begun.
