Chain Specifications
The Plasm Testnet is a public test environment for developers and community integration's. This is where debugging should occur prior to mainnet deployment.
spec-name: plasm-testnet
impl-name: plasm-testnet-node
Version naming notation:
Authoring version: Equals testnet generation spec. Testnet generation will not change authoring interface.
Spec/Impl Versions: High number = testnet generation; low number = testnet runtime upgrades. Example: 10 for Testnet v1 genesis, 21 for Testnet v2 Patch 1.
Testnet generation my not be backwards compatible with old networks. A periodic blockchain wipe is suggested for compatibility and to keep testnet resources available for other users.
Testnet generation life cycle is estimated to be between two weeks and two months
Testnet upgrade types fall into one of two categories:
Major upgrade
Minor runtime patch
Runtime patches have a minor impact and end users should not notice any changes. These patches are non breakable features and minor network maintenance patches.
Major upgrades occur when the testnet is completely rebuilt including major upgrades and changes from the previous version. These upgrades increase the version number. These upgrades can include breaking changes or entire blockchain wipes to optimize user resources.
The Plasm canary network is a beta Mainnet. Dusty observe and debug mainnet code for approximately two weeks.
Dusty network participation is incentivized, paying rewards in PLD (network native token) to PoA validators and dApps operator nominators.
When Plasm Network token stake technology is implemented, 0.5% of the total Plasm token supply will be airdropped to Dusty token holders.
Planned features:
Multi-lockdrop
Optimistic Virtual Machine
