Testnet-1 is live. Our intention is to keep this functioning so the community can deploy rholang to this public testnet. Please see RChain public testnet information to learn more about public testnet as well as a FAQ.
Plan to update and relaunch testnet with RNode v0.9.5 this week.
Community testing
Thursdays at 14:00 UTC.
Mainnet launch
Estimate is for Mercury to be code complete in Aug. This does not include work that may result from the investigation of Rholang bloat in the tuplespace or bugs.
Conversations in progress to clarify how to provide a community-driven, decentralized mainnet launch.
Conversations in progress to clarify issues related to the issuance of REV:
Clarify expectations for issuing REV based on RHOC related to the need to escrow Pithia-owned RHOC and to RHOC related to the Barcelona scam.
How to update communications to RHOC holders related to this process
Ensuring tooling in place to support REV holders claiming and transferring tokens after the launch.
Conversations in progress to finalize criteria for releasing Mercury from the hardening Mercury acceptance criteria.
Consensus
Support for failing test blocking introduction of renovated RSpace to the codebase. Result was refactoring the test to ensure it is deterministic.
Work in progress to migrate use of secp256k1 for validator keys and to update related tests.
Work in progress to ensure ability to move data from the file containing ETH addresses and RHOC balances provided to a genesis block moves successfully to REV vaults.
Many changes to node coming in the RNode v0.9.5 release.
Rholang
Work in progress to bridge cost accounting, wallets, and the proof of stake contract.
Work in progress and draft PR created to implement the on-chain deployer ID.
Bug investigations in progress.
RSpace
Renovated RSpace running in the developer testnet with a plan to run it in the public testnet with the upgrade to RNode v0.9.5. This delivers changes to the data, trie, and hot stores. It does not complete the work to optimize the new RSpace. shows what's done and the optimization work planned.
RSpace team leading the effort to investigate Rholang bloat in the tuplespace.
