Recently, I've seen many people getting anxious and starting to sing the blues because Irys only shows "60% progress," but I think everyone is a bit misguided by the surface numbers.

After comparing the development pace of similar projects, the remaining 40% is basically testing + optimization, which can typically be completed within 2 to 3 weeks.

So if there are no surprises, the mainnet is more likely to go live in mid-November, not as everyone thinks "it will be delayed for several more months."

As for Irys itself, many people only know it as "permanent storage", but that is just the first layer.

What it really wants to do is to make data not just stored on the chain, but capable of participating in calculations, being called by programs, and even circulating as assets.

Irys = an integrated "execution layer + storage layer + computation layer" of the data chain.
Unlike Filecoin which is just storage, Irys is "storage + computation + direct adjustment on the chain."
This is very critical in the era of AI / DePIN / DataFi.

What you will see in the future is not "recording data on the chain", but "data itself has functionality, can trigger contracts, and can participate in the economic cycle."
By the way, I have already used their SDK in advance, and the experience is quite smooth, unlike some so-called new public chains that get stuck badly when running a demo.

So the conclusion is very simple:

👉 If you only look at 60%, you would think it's still early.
👉 If you know the rhythm, you will realize that now is actually the "last window period before the mainnet launch"
👉 If you understand the track, you will know that Irys is selling not the chain, but the story of data sovereignty + data execution rights.

Irys transforms data from "static proof" to "programmable assets," which aligns with the direction of AI, machine autonomy, and on-chain computing in the future.
