Why It Matters

The Primordial Testnet sets the foundation for the next-generation BlockDAG infrastructure, empowering developers with cutting edge tools and an optimized blockchain network. This release accelerates innovation, making decentralized application (DApp) development more efficient and accessible.

Blockchain Updates

  • Improved consensus mechanism for greater efficiency.
    We've refined our consensus algorithm to enhance block validation speed and ensure more reliable transaction confirmations, resulting in a more efficient and scalable network.
  • Enhanced security protocols to fortify the network.
    Our latest security enhancements include stronger encryption methods, improved node authentication, and advanced anomaly detection to mitigate potential threats.
  • Increased transaction throughput and reduced latency.
    The testnet now supports a significantly higher volume of transactions per second (TPS), with lower confirmation times, ensuring a smoother experience for developers and users.
  • Optimized chain performance for faster execution.
    We've fine-tuned the blockchain's processing engine, reducing bottlenecks and optimizing resource allocation, making smart contract execution and transaction processing more efficient.

Explorer Updates

  • Improved block and transaction indexing for better data visibility.
    A more sophisticated indexing system has been implemented, allowing for quicker and more accurate searches, along with better organization of blockchain data.
  • Enhanced UI/UX for smoother navigation and analytics.
    The explorer interface has been redesigned with user-friendly layouts, interactive charts, and enhanced filtering options to improve data tracking and analysis.
  • Contract Listing and Contract Verification Tool.
    Developers can now list and verify their smart contracts directly within the explorer, ensuring transparency and reliability for users interacting with deployed contracts.
  • Token Listing and Nodes Module.
    A dedicated module has been introduced for listing tokens on the network and providing detailed insights into active nodes, improving overall blockchain transparency.

IDE Updates

  • Expanded support for smart contract templates and libraries.
    Developers can now access a wider range of pre-built templates and libraries, simplifying the process of creating and deploying smart contracts.
  • Improved debugging and deployment functionalities.
    Enhanced debugging tools and streamlined deployment workflows make it easier to test and launch smart contracts efficiently.
  • Intuitive UI updates for a better developer experience.
    The IDE now features a more refined interface, improving accessibility and usability for developers working on smart contract projects.

Fixed Issues

  • Resolved network synchronization inconsistencies.
  • Improved error handling and logging for enhanced troubleshooting.
  • Fixed UI bugs in the explorer and IDE application.

Next Steps

  • Gather community feedback to fine-tune the testnet experience.
  • Clarify the next scope of development
