# Run 1

Run 1 fabrication was complete by 2026-04-04. This page records the run-specific timeline. It does not define the current submission procedure. ([archive message](/evidence/admin/announcements#message-1489789965951963257); [Discord](https://discord.com/channels/1361349522684510449/1361349523724570938/1489789965951963257))

## Timeline

- **Confirmed — 2025-10-02:** The GF180MCU Run 1 campaign opened. Anyone could purchase a slot through the Crowd Supply campaign. ([archive message](/evidence/admin/announcements#message-1423363343351021628); [Discord](https://discord.com/channels/1361349522684510449/1361349523724570938/1423363343351021628))
- **Changed guidance — 2025-12-03:** GF rejected DRC waivers that wafer.space had expected to use. Initial GDS was still due, but the final GDS deadline became TBD while seal-ring, I/O-pad, antenna, and fill changes were made. ([archive message](/evidence/admin/announcements#message-1445784146331959390); [Discord](https://discord.com/channels/1361349522684510449/1361349523724570938/1445784146331959390))
- **Confirmed decision — 2025-12-10:** The final DRC-clean GDS deadline was set to 2025-12-17 at 23:59 AoE. The GDS had to be uploaded and pass precheck. ([archive message](/evidence/admin/announcements#message-1448290154966945936); [Discord](https://discord.com/channels/1361349522684510449/1361349523724570938/1448290154966945936))
- **Confirmed — 2025-12-18:** The deadline had passed. wafer.space planned reticle stitching, then GF proprietary DRC. A narrow correction window remained only for newly found precheck failures or chip-breaking bugs. ([archive message](/evidence/admin/announcements#message-1451217412861988895); [Discord](https://discord.com/channels/1361349522684510449/1361349523724570938/1451217412861988895))
- **Confirmed — 2026-04-04:** GF had finished manufacturing the Run 1 wafers. They were going to the dicing house. ([archive message](/evidence/admin/announcements#message-1489789965951963257); [Discord](https://discord.com/channels/1361349522684510449/1361349523724570938/1489789965951963257))
- **Confirmed — 2026-04-21:** Run 1 participants were sent FedEx notices for initial bare die marked for display. These came from the sorting-process test wafer. ([archive message](/evidence/admin/announcements#message-1496010283188224100); [Discord](https://discord.com/channels/1361349522684510449/1361349523724570938/1496010283188224100))

## Important limit

The post-deadline correction window was a Run 1 exception tied to new checker and foundry findings. It is not a general right to change a design after a later run deadline.
