Free forever is a big claim. What does it actually cover?
Strings Network posted a new statement built around trust and transparency, saying it's committed to launching its own mainnet and learning from projects like Bitcoin and Pi Network. Buried in that post is a specific promise: users will never be charged for KYC or for claiming eligible rewards. That's a commitment, not a launch announcement — and the difference matters.

Per the official post, Strings Network says it will never charge users for user screening or for claiming eligible rewards. The statement sits alongside a broader commitment to a long-term mainnet build, with the project citing Bitcoin and Pi Network as examples it's learning from.
This is forward-looking language, not confirmation that identity verification has launched. The project's own verification system remains in testing, a status that hasn't changed with this announcement.
Strings Network has previously said a third-party Identity check provider could offer a faster route, but that option would involve a fee. The project chose its own system specifically so verification could stay free.
That raises a fair operational question: can an in-house system handle verification at the scale Strings is targeting? What's confirmed so far:
Own Identity check system is in testing
A third-party option was considered and declined
The project states identity verification will remain free
No exact KYC launch date has been announced
Verification processing timelines haven't been detailed
User screening approval doesn't mean an immediate cashout. The path Strings Network has laid out runs in sequence:
Daily mining → user screening opens → approval → eligible balance determined → trading portal at the 2M-user milestone → continued mainnet development.
"Eligible balance" and "eligible rewards" haven't been fully defined. Open questions include:
Whether all mined STRG qualifies
Whether referral rewards count as eligible
Whether milestone rewards are included
Whether extra conditions apply before a balance becomes tradable
Here's the current state of each piece, per official statements:
Component | Current Position |
Mobile mining | Live |
Own KYC system | Testing |
Fee | Project says free |
KYC launch date | Not announced |
KYC before 2M users | Project's stated aim |
Trading portal | Still tied to 2M users |
Trading of eligible balance | Planned after verification |
Mainnet | Long-term stated objective |
Reward claiming fee | Project says no fee |
Not based on current statements. Strings Network keeps these as separate tracks: KYC testing continues, with an aim to open before 2 million users, while the trading portal stays tied to that milestone specifically. Verification approval is a required step before eligible balances become tradable, not the final one.
The mainnet commitment adds a third layer. No testnet date, launch date, or technical details have been shared, and how mainnet timing relates to identity verification or trading hasn't been specified either.
Strings Network now commits to free identity verification and reward claims, alongside a long-term mainnet goal. Identity check stays in testing, trading stays tied to 2 million users, and "eligible" balances remain undefined. Watch official channels for those specifics next.
