Eras
Some of the above algorithms have mutually dependent ingredients for launching a certain era:
- Byron Era (Foundation) – reached in 2017
- Shelley Era (Decentralization and delegation) – reached in 2020
- Allegra Sub-Era (Token locking mechanism)
- Mary Sub-Era (Multi-asset implementation)
- Goguen Era (Smart Contracts, DeFi, Dapps) – hit Testnet on 2021, 12th Sep
- Alonzo Sub-Era (Smart Contracts implementation)
- Babbage Sub-Era (Eliminates flaws of Alonzo)
- Basho Era (Scaling) – development's in progress...
- Voltaire Era (Governance) – development's in progress...

3And Omega is in planned state as far as I know. If everything is OK next year should be implemented. Sep 10, 2021 at 8:11
