Cardano Opens Public Dijkstra Testnet, But the Hard Fork Is Still Pending
- —Dijkstra testnet became public on October 21, per Intersect
- —Network runs Conway v11 on node 11.1.3; v12 needs the 11.2 prerelease
- —Pool operators can connect and get test assets from a faucet
- —No mainnet activation date for the upgrade has been set
Why it matters: The public testnet gives exchanges, wallets and apps a shared environment to verify compatibility before new rules go live on mainnet.
