It was established as an independent initiative in October 2021, without pre-mined coins or allocated tokens, emphasizing a community-driven, decentralized governance structure.

Technical Adaptation
The transition to Open Libra involved enhancing the original Diem functionalities for a decentralized environment, particularly focusing on removing centralized control mechanisms. The network incorporates features such as Delay Towers for
