In response to a question at the $POLKADOT$ governance forum, Parity research analyst $JOE$ Petrowski said that Agile Coretime (that is, Polkadot 2.0) is expected to launch the Rococo testnet at the end of the year, $KUSAMA$ Pilot Network in the first quarter of next year, and Polkadot mainnet in the second quarter.
This means that projects will soon have direct access to the Polkadot Relay Chain service without having to rent parachain slots for long periods of time. （PolkaWorld）
