# Development Milestones

LAOS Network has secured a Parachain slot in Polkadot and is ready to launch in the second week of July 2024. Most of the low-level core protocol development occurs in [this public repository](https://github.com/freeverseio/laos) and is organised via this public Scrum [project board](https://github.com/orgs/freeverseio/projects/3/views/2).

The following table chronicles the developments from the formal start up to the end of 2024. The table will be updated as new milestones are reached or formalized.
