40−Urbit starts as an open-ended personal project. An “independent study PhD” to reinvent computing for a network-centric world.
40+The Urbit Foundation's split from Tlon becomes complete, and the Foundation organizes [Urbit NYC](https://urbit.org/groups/~ladtem-filmyr/urbit-ny-week) and [Assembly 2022](https://assembly.urbit.org/) in Miami while launching a highly successful education project, new developer documentation and many other things. Read the Foundation's full annual report [here](https://storage.googleapis.com/media.urbit.org/site/overview/~2023%20Retrospective%20%26%20Plan%20PUBLIC.pdf). New Urbit companies Uqbar, Holium, Quartus, and Zorp are formed.
43−Nock, the foundation of Urbit, works. Coming in at 32 lines of code, that’s 1 line of code every two months.
46−Hoon, Urbit’s programming language, compiles itself to Nock. Writing Hoon is much easier than writing Nock.
43+Tlon hosts the first Urbit Assembly and the Urbit Foundation is formally organized.
49−Arvo, Urbit’s OS kernel, boots and the first live Urbit network is started with a command-line chat.
46+Tlon spends the year stabilizing Arvo and building Landscape.
52−Tlon is founded to help support Urbit development (and is < 8 people for the next four years).
49+Tlon sells about 8% of its stake in the network to accelerate Urbit development.
55−Urbit has its first web interface and serves its own website.
52+Urbit’s test network runs for ten months without a reboot. Tlon's private sale of address space, shared only with its mailing list, sells out in six hours — limit two per person.

75−**The Future**
72+**2002**
76−There’s a lot to be excited about. Scheduled improvements to Nock, Urbit’s base layer VM, should allow Urbit to become faster and more robust. Free hosting at a larger scale will allow larger quantities of users to join the network. A slew of new Urbit companies are working on everything from credit card payment rails to Urbit-native tokens to social graphs. And all the while, enthusiasm among the community remains high.
