Cardano Opens Dijkstra Testnet While The Upgrade Itself Awaits Its Next Step

Cardano developers now have a public environment for preparing the Dijkstra upgrade, but its name needs careful reading. The test network is available; the transition to Dijkstra’s new protocol rules is still a separate step. TL;DR Intersect’s October 24 update says the refreshed Dijkstra testnet became public on October 21. It currently runs Conway protocol version 11 with node 11.1.3. A later node prerelease and testnet governance action are needed for protocol version 12. A live rehearsal environment comes before new rules The sequence is set out in Intersect’s weekly report and the Cardano Operations Book . Pool operators can obtain configuration files, connect to the test network and use a faucet for test assets. The planned Dijkstra transition follows availability of the 11.2 prerelease and a hard-fork initiation action.
