Public Mainnet Launch

Soul Protocol (SO) · Releases & Updates · January 5, 2027 (target)

Soul Protocol postponed its public mainnet from October 19, 2026 to a revised target of January 5, 2027 for extra security testing.

Soul Protocol, an omnichain DeFi lending protocol built on LayerZero messaging, has postponed its Public Mainnet launch from October 19, 2026 to a revised target date of January 5, 2027. The team said the extra time goes to an additional round of adversarial security testing with the latest AI models, on top of two completed assessments by Runtime Verification and Arda, covering failed or delayed cross-chain execution, liquidations and accounting under stress. Soul will publish a monthly progress update until launch. Soul acts as a unified cross-chain liquidity layer: users supply collateral on one chain and borrow on another from a single account, without bridging assets or minting wrapped tokens, routing into existing money markets instead of fragmenting liquidity. The $SO token is not part of the mainnet launch. Earlier plans pointed to a December 2026 TGE, and no updated TGE date has been given since the delay.
