What is a Testnet and how to join it?
<p>eptember 2023 is here and the testnet phase for Areon Network approaches fast.</p>
<p>This has been a highly-expected road map item for our third quarter by our community.</p>
<p>Everyone has <strong>high expectations</strong> from this test period, and rightfully so.</p>
<p>Therefore, we would like to briefly explain what a testnet is and what it means for our project.</p>
<p>We hope that you might find answers to your questions here.</p>
<p><strong>What is a testnet?</strong></p>
<p>As the word suggests, it is a <strong>test network</strong>. Developers use a testing platform to try their codes, the chain’s transactions, new apps and much more.</p>
<p>While a testnet is often used before a mainnet, sometimes developers open a test platform after the mainnet to try new things in a <strong>risk-free environment</strong>.</p>
<p>Developers may use it to try new functions and <strong>measure the performance</strong>. If there is an error, they can fix it easily without hurting the mainnet.</p>
<p><strong>Why is it important to have a testnet?</strong></p>
<p>Besides the obvious benefits of testing functions and performance, test networks are also <strong>vital </strong>to prevent any interruptions to users’ <strong>interactions or assets</strong>.</p>
