📣 Announcing the Public Devnet Hello Validators, We are happy to announce that we will be creating a new public testnet dedicated for developers, which will henceforth be referred to as the Public Devnet. The goal is to provide an always online network that is always running the same software version as the mainnet. This will allow developers to deploy, integrate and test without interruptions caused by our frequent and needed public testnet upgrades and resets. There will be dedicated infrastructure deployed for it, such as explorer, wallet, API infrastructure, etc. We will communicate the relevant information as it becomes available. If you want to support our developer community you can contribute by running one or more testnet nodes. ⏱ The Public Devnet will come online latest on Friday 15 January (tomorrow) 👉 Please do: if you want to support the public devnet, you can run one or more nodes. 📄 Add your node keys to this form: https://forms.gle/JACk8aupB2iJS8aM6 Thank you for supporting the growth of our developer community!
