We are glad to announce the release of APEX Blockchain Testnet: Phase 1. The first phase of the Testnet release enables various engineering teams within APEX Technologies (non-APEX Core Development) as well as developers in the community to begin running test nodes of APEX Network. This release is geared towards testing transactions, performance, and DPOS-based consensus, the building blocks of the network.

Phase 2, which includes a full blockchain explorer as well as other technology upgrades, is expected to be released in around a month. APEX Desktop Wallet is currently undergoing development and is set to be released along with Mainnet. Before then, future versions of the mobile APEX Wallet (Android and iOS) are expected to be updated via major mobile App Stores.

A suggestion and bug tracking form will be released for both engineering teams and the community to report feedback.

Thank you for your support,

APEX team
