📢 Releasing Shardeum Testnet Network

As we move closer to our phased mainnet rollout, we're releasing the Shardeum testnet, a full-scale network deployment available for our community to test & run Validators on.

This testnet incorporates our latest improvements & optimizations & is designed to be a long-lived network that will continue running even after mainnet launch. This will also be the primary testing ground for all future feature rollouts.

👉 Find network endpoints here: https://docs.shardeum.org/docs/network/endpoints

🟢 Existing validators: https://shm.gg/validator-update
🟢 Install a new validator: https://shm.gg/validator
🟢 Claim testnet SHM from faucet: https://shm.gg/testnet-shm

👷‍♂️ Report bugs here: https://shm.gg/bug-reporting

NOTE: This is a non-incentivized testnet. While there are no rewards for running nodes, it provides an essential environment for developers & node operators to prepare for mainnet & build their integrations.

🚨 Update: Shardeum Mainnet will now launch on 5th May 2025

We’re making this strategic change to ensure the best possible launch for our community amid current market conditions. Our tech is still progressing on time & will be ready by 15th April 2025.

This is about when to launch, not whether to launch.

📢 Here’s why & what it means

• Launching in a volatile market now would short-change our supporters. We believe this short delay will mean a stronger network & community from day one.

• Our testnet shattered records with 171K+ validators - the most ever on an L1 testnet - and 81M+ transactions processed. We have full confidence in the product we’ve built.

Thank you to all Shardians for your patience & support 🙏

We started this journey together & in just a few more weeks, we’ll celebrate the Mainnet launch together. The best is yet to come 🚀

📢 2025 Quarter 1 Updates

Tune in live with the Shardeum team to learn all about:

• Upcoming Mainnet launch details

• $SHM token sale progress TGE & listing

& much more on 👉 16th April, 3:30 PM UTC
