Testnet

Cygnets.

Cygnet, Testnet, we did a lot of Testnet.

Actually, Testnet helped us a lot on hardening the system a lot.

We still run the same Testnet with almost no downtime since the beginning when we started Testnet.

And it shows what happens if the state gets bigger or block numbers get bigger.

We did some bug fixes around Comantine and Citraea.

Okay, Polaris here.

Testnet user DM'd us thinking there was a bug because his max borrow capacity kept growing daily, even though he was already borrowed the max against his FP ETH.

And then the intern explained to him with a smile on his face that there was no bug.

You know, that's what happens.

One thing that helps is just the amount and quality of teams that are now building on Hyperliquid, for example, Kraken.

So another thing that I wanted to ask about is HIP3 Star, which is on Testnet.

So for context, HIP3 Star is like HIP3 in that it allows deployers to list their own markets, but it also has additional permissions, such as being able to whitelist who's allowed to trade on the exchange.

And Payword, the parent company of Kraken, already publicly announced that pending regulatory approval, they want to use that to offer hyperliquid to US citizens.

Here's your latest for Tuesday, October 6th, 2026.

Clamsterdam goes live on the Sepolia testnet.

EtherFi introduces its native stablecoin.

Validators consolidate over 16 million Ether using 0x02 withdrawal credentials.

Block-level access lists make state access explicit, allowing transactions to be processed in parallel where their data dependencies do not overlap.

and gas repricings account for the cost of state growth and access as execution capacity increases.

Clamsterdam is tentatively scheduled to activate on the Hudi testnet somewhere around October 26 and on Mainnet as soon as December 2, pending confirmation.

EtherFi, a liquid staking protocol, and Neobank introduced EtherFiUSD, its native US dollar-denominated stablecoin powered by Ethernet's white-label infrastructure.

Well, let me be more precise.

Someone is proposing Testnet 5 that would enforce BIP-54 rules, um, and that would probably come out after this, uh, is merged.

And, uh, then the deployment of BIP-54 is a separate discussion.

This is just a review of the rules and review of the consensus changes, whether the new tests and implementation are sound and people are happy with that.

Base's next upgrade will include plans for two hundred millisecond blocks, Base transactions, and DevEx support for some Glamsterdam EVM improvements.

Glamsterdam-ready client releases are now available for the Sepolia testnet ahead of the scheduled fork activation on October 6th, 2026 at 13:53 UTC.

Testnet node operators must update both execution and consensus layer clients before the scheduled fork activation.

Node operators should also review new instructions for enshrined proposer-builder separation and builder tooling.

Prism and Teku will default to a sixty million gas limit post-activation, and operators seeking the full two hundred million limit must manually configure it per their specific client release notes.

It's like.

It's the best because we have this ecosystem that can evolve and all of crypto is testnet.

So don't be mad at testnet.

You need testnet in order to try things out and see if things work.

And then if any of it does work, and I agree with you, a lot of it is complete bullshit, but if any of it does work, we'll bring it back to Bitcoin.

We'll figure out how to do it on Bitcoin.

I'm kind of curious of how that might play out.

One of the news that is good for Solana is Appenglow, of course, is rolled out on Testnet now.

The new system could make Solana transactions finality 85 times faster.

in terms of speed and that is huge because when you look at it right there on that image you can kind of see the speed that's happening here with a at 150 milliseconds versus 12.8 guys we're talking about next evolution finance and it's happening right now Six Canadian banks are exploring tokenized deposit initiative.
