According to Avail’s latest social media post, the Avail DA Goldberg testnet has successfully processed more than 100 million transactions. Based on the post shared with Cryptonews.com, the 100 million milestone is a “highly reliable indicator that the mainnet blockchain can handle real network loads.”
To ensure that testing activity would accurately reflect human usage, the testnet integrated Gitcoin Passport to prevent bots and Sybil attacks.
Testnet “Clash of Nodes”.
Avail recently introduced ‘Clash of Nodes’, a boosted testnet designed to rigorously validate the network through the participation of validators, light client operators, and the broader community.
This initiative not only served as a platform for engagement and competition, but also played a key role in stress testing Avail’s infrastructure. It was intended to secure a base layer with minimized trust, focusing on data availability.
The testnet leveraged the capabilities of validators to consistently validate and produce blocks, powering the core functionality of the network.
“Clash of Nodes” is open to participation from all interested parties and offers various tasks, such as balance transfers and identity checks, to contribute to testing networks.
