The Cardano Shelley testnet is “very successful” according to Charles Hoskinson, who is the CEO of the company behind the cryptocurrency. For those of you who did not follow our Cardano news, you should know that the testnet launched earlier this week and gathered a select group of pool operators that were testing the Cardano network.
Hoskinson said that the testnet also provided a lot of important insights to IOHK. However, he also said that the next two weeks will be pivotal for its development, as the company is set to deal with both new problems as well as scheduled optimization.
Friends And Family: Cardano Shelley Testnet Is A Huge Success
The Shelley friends and family testnet was one of the largest milestones both for Cardano as a network as well as IOHK as the company which created it. This testnet was launched on Monday (May 11) and was supposed to gather 20-something stake pool operators close to IOHK who could offer the company a fresh look at how the Shelley mainnet would look like.
Considering the fact that five days already passed since the operators (known as “pioneers”) started testing Shelley, the CEO Charles Hoskinson took to YouTube and shared a brief update on how the testing was going, where he said that “from a QA perspective, it has been tremendously successful.”
Sharing The Plans For The Future
The CEO also noted that his team has an active checklist of all the 19 stake pool operators where it was following how far they have all gone through the given exercises. These include everything, starting from the setup of stake pools to more advanced pledging tasks and delegation details.
So far, the Cardano Shelley testnet is good and the statistics are showing good news, too.
Hoskinson also made sure to stress the importance of the pioneers testing Shelley (which grew to 32 since Monday) and how they have all been instructed to invite two more people to join the network.
“This is exactly how you launch a network,” Hoskinson said.
Meanwhile, the price of Cardano (ADA) in the latest cryptocurrencies news is reacting good to the news and managed to cover its losses from the past week and go back to $0.05 with a 1% increase on the day. Traders are bullish on ADA for the upcoming weeks.
