        • UX improvements and optimizations
        • Bug investigations
      • Rholang team
        • Completion of work to bridge cost accounting with the wallet and proof of stake contract

        • Bug fixes
      • RSpace team
        • Implementation of soft checkpointing
        • Foundational work for upcoming peek implementation
    • Release
  • Mercury requirements and acceptance criteria
  • Testnet status
    • 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.
  • Community testing

Blockers to testnet-2

  • See complete view in  RCHAIN-3168 - Getting issue details... STATUS
  • Charging for deploys creates conflicting blocks. Planning to resolve this with the implementation of peek, the ability to look at a value without logging a change. This was unplanned work. Current estimate is 3 weeks.

Risks to code completion for Mercury

  • Addition of peek implementation to the requirements required to provide cost accounting.  RCHAIN-2226 - Getting issue details... STATUS  
  • Addition of work in Rholang to address bloat in the tuplespace.  RCHAIN-3542 - Getting issue details... STATUS
