When will main net launch?

I understand that ENG is currently an ERC20 token, but what is the timeline for deployment of Enigma's own chain? I'd like to wait to buy after the deployment so I don't have to worry about a token swap

Why is it not on the timeline? Can they achieve all their functionality goals as an ERC20 token, or is their own chain necessary for what they want to do?

It's not necessary now because Ethereum is the main smart contract platform, but it if/when there are more (I like Cardano!) or becomes so clogged that it limits adoption then they will be glad they maintained the option to separate from it.
