This is only a temporary restriction, we’re hoping to lift it in the next couple of months.

We added a bunch of restrictions for the launch of the IC, (restricted subnets, cycles conversions ect.) to limit some of the attacks people could do and we’re lifting them as quickly as we can.

More of a bad sprain than being crippled 🙂
