🧪 Testnet Phase #1 Starts Now The first of four structured Testnet phases is now live. We're entering a 1-week grace period: node stats and session data have been reset on Testnet-0 (Arbitrum Sepolia) and Testnet-1 ($COR Rollup L3), and this week serves as onboarding + warm-up before full regression. 🔹 Focus – System Integration & Regression - Validate all node roles and coordination flows end-to-end across apps, routing, miners, and validators - Stress-test both Pay-to-Use and Stake-to-Use inference flows under live conditions - Exercise the new NodePool refactor to generate large user-task & validator datasets for future SLA filters and inference-quality tuning 🔹 Incentivized Testing & Bug Bounty - Node ops: submit random sessions/tasks daily to simulate real usage - Manual + load testing throughout Phase #1 will be incentivized - Bugs and edge cases will qualify for bounty rewards - Detailed rules and amounts will be announced soon in Discord 🔹 Docs / Plan - Testnet Phase #1: https://docs.cortensor.network/community-and-ecosystem/community-testing/testnet-phase/testnet-phase-1 - Testnet Phases: https://docs.cortensor.network/community-and-ecosystem/community-testing/testnet-phase - Structured Plan: https://docs.cortensor.network/community-and-ecosystem/community-testing/testnet-phase-wip-draft/wip-draft-testnet-phases-and-focus-areas-structured-plan Phase #1 is about breaking and hardening the pipeline so later phases can safely introduce SLA-driven routing, payments, and agentic integrations.
