ThunderCore(TT) Testnet Reset

ThunderCore Lab is delighted to announce that in order to provide you with a more efficient testing environment, the team will be conducting a comprehensive reset of the Testnet environment at 07:00 AM (UTC) on August 24th, 2023.

Key changes

• Fresh Start: We will begin with a clean slate. Existing data will be wiped entirely and not transferred to the new environment. This ensures you receive a fresh, pristine testing environment.
• New Hardfork R4.2: The new test chain will launch from the latest Hardfork R4.2. This upgrade will introduce more features and improvements, opening up greater potential for your development and testing.
• Preserved Infrastructure: We will continue to maintain ThunderCore’s foundational infrastructure, including features like faucets, bridges, and explorers. These functionalities will coexist with the new environment, providing you with comprehensive support.
• Balancing Time and Speed: Based on past usage patterns, we have decided to adjust the block generation speed of the test chain from one block per second to ten seconds per block. Each session will produce 360 blocks, reducing a full session to one hour. This change helps us balance efficiency and resource utilization in the testing environment.

Impact

• Enhanced Performance: The reset will clear out old data and states, boosting network performance and response speed, ensuring you can test and develop more efficiently.
• Reduced Costs: By releasing resources that are no longer needed, we will lower server and storage costs, creating more opportunities for the network’s sustainable growth.
