Miners have been asking one question for months: when does verification actually open up? The Mirex Network KYC update answers that, laying out a staged plan instead of a single flip-the-switch launch, and it's the clearest sequence the community has gotten so far.
On August 5, 2026, the verified account behind the ecosystem published a dedicated update for everyone.
Titled around the theme of verification, the post opened by calling it "the moment many of you have been waiting for."

This particular announcement is best described as the Mirex Network KYC Update, and it's worth breaking down step by step, since the rollout comes in stages rather than all at once.
Instead of opening verification to every miner simultaneously, the plan starts narrow:
Stage
Group Size
Purpose
Phase 1
5,000 users
Test the decentralized passport system
Following Stage
Entire community
Full access once testing succeeds
The team explained the smaller starting group is intentional. Running the passport system through a limited test first lets them confirm it holds up securely and reliably before scaling to the full user base.
Once that testing clears, access is meant to open for the rest of the miners who have been waiting.
The Mirex Network KYC Update connects to something broader than one-time verification.
Users are set to eventually hold a Digital ID, described as a decentralized passport meant to work across the wider ecosystem rather than a single form filled out once.

The announcement names DigiPortID as a company connected to building this identity layer and points to tokenized airdrops already previewed inside the app as an early look at how the system is meant to function in practice.
This KYC rollout doesn't change the other date already on the calendar. MRX's on-chain availability remains set for September 1, 2026, the same figure listed on the official tokenomics page and reaffirmed in a separate post from the team in late July.
The KYC and digital ID rollout covered here applies to Lumira miners specifically and runs on its own track, so nothing about this verification update pushes the TGE date earlier or later.
Stepping back from this specific rollout, it helps to know the project this update belongs to.
MIRA Network AG is registered in Zug, Switzerland, and supports the ecosystem as a research, development, and software engineering entity, while the MRX-20 blockchain runs on a Proof of Stake Authority design built specifically for the Mirex ecosystem.
Two separate assets sit at its core, and they work differently. The utility token has a capped supply of 27 million, its presale already closed, with on-chain availability set for September 1, 2026.

The second asset works differently: it's already earned inside the mobile app through mining and task completion, ahead of any formal exchange release.
Utility token supply: 27,000,000, presale closed
Second asset: earned via app activity, release tied to completed airdrop rounds
Chain design: Proof of Stake Authority (MRX-20 blockchain)
For now, there's no action required from anyone outside the initial 5,000-person test group. Miners who aren't selected in this first round don't lose their earned balances or standing in the queue; the rollout is sequential, not exclusionary.
The most useful step is simply keeping an eye on the official account for the follow-up post that opens access more broadly, since that's where any change to timing or process would be announced first.
KYC (Know Your Customer): Identity verification required before certain platform actions, such as claiming rewards.
Digital ID: A blockchain-based identity credential meant to work across multiple platforms within an ecosystem.
Decentralized Passport: A verification system where identity data isn't held by one central authority.
The Mirex Network KYC Update is still in its early stage, limited to a small test group for now, but it gives long-time miners a clearer sequence to follow instead of an open-ended wait for verification access.
