~22 months to genesis. Every phase named. Every dependency visible. No timeline that requires us to be lucky.

The inscription contract is written in Algorand Python (algopy) and uses the real native falcon_verify opcode. A reference implementation of the five inscription invariants exists and has been through internal multi-model review; the remaining work in this phase is compilation and on-chain test vectors, the founding-cryptographer review, and the TestNet dress rehearsal.

• Modern algopy contract feature-complete (done)
• Unit tests with mocked Falcon opcode (done)
• Deploy + mint + ceremony pipeline drafted (done)
• Internal threat-model pass (done — 27 May)
• TestNet end-to-end dress rehearsal (in progress — runbook drafted)
• Founding cryptographer engaged + Falcon path reviewed (outreach drafted; first three emails pending)

LEXR Zürich (Christian Meisser) is the lead counsel candidate — scoping completed, not yet engaged. The Stiftung forms in Zug under articles 80–89bis of the Swiss Civil Code, with ESA supervision at registration. Updated sequencing: a pre-LEXR specialist-consultation queue (cross-border tax · IP · GDPR · MiCA · Bpifrance acceptance · pre-formation operational funding) now precedes LEXR retention so the Stiftung statuten draft starts with all specialist inputs in hand. First capital lands via NLnet NGI0 / Filecoin Foundation / Algorand Foundation Accelerator Tier-2 (queued for next cohort) / F&F bridge / Sovereign Tech Fund / OSTIF — first arriving tranche funds the specialist queue. Swiss IGE trademark application 08601/2026 was filed 19 May 2026 and is pending registration; Madrid Protocol extension follows. Stiftungsrat target composition expanded to 3+ trustees pre-formation per BVS guidance.

• Swiss IGE trademark filed (done — 19 May)
• Pre-LEXR specialist consultations · 8 specialists, pre-formation operational funding (queue mapped — 27 May)
• Counsel selection — LEXR scoping completed (no engagement signed) (in progress — sequencing revised)
• A cryptographer at a leading European research institution (in selection) for Stiftungsrat seat 2 (outreach to independent cryptographers for external review is underway)
• Third Stiftungsrat seat secured (Swiss professional fiduciary via LEXR network) (planned Q3-Q4 2026)
• Stiftung incorporated in Zug with 3+ trustees (planned Q1-Q2 2027 post specialist queue)
• FINMA informal pre-formation guidance via LEXR network (planned during LEXR retention)
• Algorand Accelerator Tier-2 application submitted (packet built; waiting for next cohort opening)
• F&F bridge round opened (drafts ready)

EU jurisdictional unlock (27 May 2026): French-citizen founder + planned Munich research adjacency unlocks the Bpifrance suite (Bourse French Tech · BFTE · ADD DeepTech · NCC-FR PQC · French Tech 2030), German PrototypeFund, and strengthens EIC Accelerator (€2.5M + €5M investment) + HORIZON-CL3-2026-02-CS-ECCC (€1-2M) eligibility. This forms part of pre-formation operational funding.

The founding cryptographer reviews the Falcon-1024 binding, the on-chain operand handling, and the divergence between the Algorand falcon_verify opcode implementation and the (still-in-development) FIPS 206 standard. The contingency memo (Position B and Position C) is reviewed against their input. The threat model is hardened against their findings.

• Founding cryptographer review of Falcon path (blocked on engagement)
• FIPS 206 contingency memo reviewed by cryptographer + LEXR
• Threat model updated
• Risk Register updated

The full genesis sequence rehearsed end-to-end on TestNet with all attendees — founder, Stiftungsräte, founding cryptographer, engaged counsel, auditor representative, and an independent witness. The ceremony runbook is exercised verbatim. Any failure mode that surfaces in the rehearsal is addressed before genesis.

The TRELYAN ASA and the 1,024 Vault Cells go live on Algorand (genesis targeted Q2 2028; currently TestNet) under the audited, cryptographer-reviewed inscription contract enforced by the native falcon_verify opcode (AVM v12 / consensus v41 / go-algorand v4.3.0). Cell #1 is inscribed at genesis with the Cell #1 Inscription Manifesto. Post-genesis validation script confirms the deployment. Public announcement coordinates with the major Algorand-ecosystem outlets under embargo.
