The TolTEC Camera, mounted on the Large Millimeter Telescope (LMT), is a 3-band continuum camera and polarimeter operating at millimeter wavelengths. This paper reviews our progress on the camera commissioning and its inaugural scientific programs, spanning the 2022/2023 commissioning phases and reviewing the winter 2024 science program. We report on mapping speed estimations, optical performance, and the first scientific imaging and polarimetry findings. Additionally, advancements in out-of-focus holography and the integration of two novel maximum likelihood mapmakers are discussed. We conclude with scientific forecasts for the first four TolTEC Legacy Surveys and an overview of the initiatives aimed at facilitating public access to the camera and the broader LMT infrastructure.
