In Brief:
- According to QUDO, the platform steps off testnet on Aug. 24, the same day the $QUDO token goes live.
- The date caps a testnet period that attracted over 60,000 gamers plus one pre-mainnet snapshot, and a whitelist page went up with the announcement.
- Nobody gets paid on day one. Launch Airdrop and Games Hub allocations show up a month after the TGE, while TaskOn points take two months to convert.
In a post on X, the QUDO team confirmed that the project exits testnet on Aug. 24 and debuts the $QUDO token that same day, finally attaching a hard date to a mainnet that has been slipping since 2021.
“It’s official,” QUDO said. “QUDO launches on August 24th. The platform leaves testnet and the $QUDO token goes live with it.”
It's been years we see the QUDO team working hard on this launch. We're all excited for this important milestone

A single sentence in the post captured everything leading up to it: “Years of testnet, over 60k gamers, one Snapshot. Now a date.” A comment on the post carried a link to a whitelist page.
Nothing lands on day one
Anyone who farmed the pre-launch programs will be waiting past Aug. 24 for tokens to arrive.
Allocations for Launch Airdrop participants are scheduled to land a month after the mainnet goes live. Qualification is based on a snapshot captured ahead of launch and demands that a user claimed assigned testnet tokens on at least one occasion. Notably, account age is measured from a user’s first logged-in gameplay activity rather than the account creation date, and gaming activity is counted through to the snapshot date.
The same one-month wait applies to Games Hub scores. Mainnet tokens are calculated by taking a player’s score across Blox Nano and the other Games Hub titles and dividing it by 5,000, with that score snapshot captured at the TGE itself. Qualification is restricted to players sitting at Tier 5 or higher on the Launch Airdrop leaderboard, and because the ranking is dynamic, busier players can bump others out ahead of launch.
QUDO Points collected via the project’s TaskOn campaign are on a slower clock. Conversion happens two months post-TGE, and only players who reached 1,000 points or more are included. Rank 2 converts at a flat rate, with Rank 3 at 1.25x, Rank 4 at 1.5x, Rank 5 at 2x and Rank 6 at 3x. What hasn’t been disclosed is the conversion rate itself.
Where the token lives
The platform continues to run on Telos Zero. To widen access via MetaMask and other EVM wallets, QUDO deployed the token on the Telos EVM and Base testnets, with that EVM support currently in beta and framed by the team as a key step toward mainnet.
Supply-wise, an early tokenomics model capped QUDO at 9 billion, with 1,024 QUDO added to circulation per block over the first eight years. From the pre-mined supply, 1.84% is set aside as prizes for active players and game developers, while a further 2.16% is reserved for community challenges and rewards down the line. Inside that 1.84% slice, 73.12% is distributed to players according to gaming activity and 21.94% according to account age. Developer accounts are shut out of that pool, drawing from a separate 4.94% allocation tied to games hooked up to QUDO and actively played. A pool of 18,583,714.29 QUDO was advertised in an earlier early-adopter campaign.
Exchange listings are planned for after the Telos mainnet launch, per QUDO, which has also said its mainnet and TGE plan is being aligned with a regulatory framework.
Eight years to a date
Portuguese developer Block Bastards, the studio behind QUDO, has worked on the platform since early 2018, building it as a proof-of-gameplay reward mechanism that any Unity game can plug into. Partnering on the effort, the Telos Foundation hosts the platform and supplies marketing and technical support. March 2021 brought ten games on board.
Timelines have shifted repeatedly. The original target for a Telos mainnet beta was the first half of 2021, then the back end of that year’s second quarter. Subsequent material moved it out to some point in 2022. More recently, QUDO’s own website pointed to the second quarter of 2025.
Along the way, the project passed a second Red4Sec security audit, launched its AI Playground in Early Access, letting whitelisted community members publish AI-generated experiences of their own, and made the rounds on the conference circuit — Slush in Helsinki, Web Summit in Lisbon as a Beta Startup, and Gamescom in Cologne, where the NFTribes site was released.
