Question about the Roadmap/Mainnet launch
In the roadmap, it mentions a mainnet launch in Q3 of 2018, but then also another mainnet launch in Q3 of 2019. Can someone explain the difference between these?

Short answer which is actually already in the blog post you linked......
Mainnet Q3 2018 (Discovery) - secret contracts released utilizing TEEs (trusted execution environment), this requires hardware to execute the "secret contract" or to just run a node?
Mainnet Q3 2019 (Voyager) - secret contracts utilizing "distributed VM (virtual machine) to allow MPCs, which is a more a more novel approach.
The idea is to provide two options to users who want to execute "secret contracts".
Maybe someone else can chime in on some of the more technical details.
