📣 Testnet reset incoming - Let's update the Validator List Hey team, Testnet reset incoming later today! We need to start fresh, which is a great opportunity to review the list of nodes that will automatically become Validators after the reset. We have exported the list of all the current testnet validators - they will automatically be made into Validators following this reset. So, if you already have nodes that are validators on the public testnet, no action needed. 👉 If you need more/new nodes to automatically be made into Validators after the reset, please add them in this form. 🛠 It's time to build. 🌐 Testnet Explorer | Testnet Wallet | Setup a Testnet Validator

📣 TESTNET Upgrade T1.2.3.0 Hello Validators, We are upgrading the TESTNET. We upgrade the nodes and keep the database. This is a major release, which brings important new features. Highlights: • Soft Restart - the ability of a validator to gracefully shuffle between shards without requiring to be "hard restarted", which briefly takes them offline. This is important for smoother network operation overall and fewer false alerts about the node being "offline", when it is working as intended. • Relayed Transactions v2 - also known as meta-transactions, this type of transactions passes the gas cost from the person initiating the transaction to a relayer. Maiar for example uses this when activating a new account, which involves several smart contract calls. In version 2, relayed transactions require less gas. Several other new features and fixes are making their way onto the testnet, in preparation for the next mainnet release candidate. ⏱ Relayed Transactions V2 activated at Epoch 98 ⚠️ Do not upgrade your mainnet validators!
