v0.4.x-publicbeta

Last Updated: June 22nd, 2026

The Public Beta version of Aemula is live on Base mainnet, monetized through paid onchain subscriptions, and open to public access. The goal of the Public Beta is to continue testing the platform, receive live feedback, and monitor platform costs while we build additional features and functionality. The Public Beta includes features such as open publishing, platform-native, onchain payments in USDC, and encrypted peer-to-peer content storage and service.
