eptember 2023 is here and the testnet phase for Areon Network approaches fast.
This has been a highly-expected road map item for our third quarter by our community.
Everyone has high expectations from this test period, and rightfully so.
Therefore, we would like to briefly explain what a testnet is and what it means for our project.
We hope that you might find answers to your questions here.
What is a testnet?
As the word suggests, it is a test network. Developers use a testing platform to try their codes, the chain’s transactions, new apps and much more.
While a testnet is often used before a mainnet, sometimes developers open a test platform after the mainnet to try new things in a risk-free environment.
Developers may use it to try new functions and measure the performance. If there is an error, they can fix it easily without hurting the mainnet.
Why is it important to have a testnet?
Besides the obvious benefits of testing functions and performance, test networks are also vital to prevent any interruptions to users’ interactions or assets.
