FYI: still finalizing testnet setup/ config so there is nothing for people to install yet. Just trying to make sure it’s good to go so we only have to release 1 DigiDollar test client for testnet. Might take a couple more days. Just trying to keep everyone informed. 👍
🚀 ITS TESTNET TUESDAY — THE ROAD TO $DGB DIGIDOLLAR V1 🔥
Before any major upgrade goes live on the DigiByte blockchain, it must first survive the proving grounds: TestNet. This is where new features are battle-tested, verified, and pushed to their limits long before MainNet ever sees them.
------------------------------
WHAT IS TESTNET?
TestNet is a parallel DigiByte blockchain that mirrors MainNet rules: multi-algo PoW, UTXOs, Taproot, addresses, and transactions. The key difference is that TestNet coins have no real value.
This gives developers and the community a safe environment to:
• 🛠️ Test new features
• 🐞 Find bugs and edge cases
• 🧪 Validate new consensus logic
• 📈 Stress-test network performance
• 🧬 Simulate risky or extreme scenarios
We push TestNet so MainNet stays rock-solid.
------------------------------
WHY TESTNET MATTERS FOR DIGIDOLLAR V1
DigiDollar V1 introduces big new components: new consensus rules, time-locked collateral, the Oracle MVP, minting and redemption logic, and emergency mechanisms like ERR.
TestNet allows us to safely verify:
• ⛓️ Time-locked UTXO collateral behavior
• 🔄 Automatic minting and redemption flow
• 📡 Oracle data publishing and validation
• 🧱 Taproot and script interactions
• ⚙️ Multi-algo compatibility
• 🚨 Emergency Redemption Ratio triggers
We can run price shocks, invalid Oracle feeds, congestion tests, and failure scenarios without any risk to MainNet.
------------------------------
WE NEED TESTNET NODE OPERATORS
A strong TestNet depends on community-run nodes. If you can run a DigiByte full node with good uptime, you can help.
WANT TO BE A TESTNET SEED NODE?
If you’re interested in running a TestNet seed node for DigiDollar development, let us know. We’ll coordinate setup and configuration with you.
More TestNet nodes = more decentralization = a stronger DigiByte ecosystem. 💪🐝
