Startups in Web3 don’t launch like traditional products, there are no rollbacks, no "patch it later" second tries.
When you hit deploy on-chain, it's live and responsible for financial transactions.
In Episode 6 of the Stellar Dev Diaries, the Freelii team takes the leap every founder dreams about: launching on Stellar mainnet.
