๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸฅณHello Validators! A milestone for the #Sui history books: Sui Testnet Wave 1 is live!๐ŸŒŠ
This is a huge step towards a decentralized Sui Mainnet, as this is the first instance of a Sui Network with non-Mysten Labs operators.
Builders: continue building on Devnet ๐Ÿงต(1/8)
๐ŸŒTestnet Wave 1 focuses on operators โ€“ specifically validators and those operating Full Nodes.
In Wave 1, we aim to improve our decentralized coordination + incident response, and identify a core group of operators who have experience in deploying, monitoring, and debugging.
โš ๏ธAs an incentivized Testnet, there are likely to be some bumps & learning moments as we attempt operating a decentralized network for the first time.
This network will be transitory, and will be shut down once we achieve our goals. Future Waves will come on the road to Mainnet.
๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿ’ปAs we move from Devnet to Testnet, the biggest change is the inclusion of independent validators.
In Devnet, Mysten Labs operates 4 validators to verify transactions.
Testnet Wave 1 includes third-party validators and Full Nodes selected from our open application process.
๐ŸคUnlike Devnet, incident management will be community-driven, not Mysten Labs-driven, in Testnet. This will enable community members to provide more input and hold greater responsibility for maintaining the health of Sui.
๐Ÿ› A note to builders: Devnet remains the preferred environment for developers to build + test applications, as Testnet may be subject to operational drills & may have longer windows between fixes.
Testnet faucet may have rate limits to ensure a smooth experience for operators.
๐Ÿ™ŒThe intent of Sui is to set a new standard for web3 infrastructure. Unlike other blockchains, Sui uses an object-oriented data model to represent digital assets.
Thank you to the Sui community as we further test Sui's infrastructure, and we look forward to your involvement!
๐Ÿ“We will keep the Testnet Wave 1 network running for approximately two to three weeks โ€“ dive into the blog post to learn more about the launch and our future plans (including Wave 2!): sui.io
And a reminder: there are no plans for an airdrop, and interacting with Testnet will not win you any prizes.
