Matrix AI Testnet source code is out now — https://github.com/MatrixAINetwork/MATRIX-TESTNET

MatrixAI has finally announced the long-awaited Matrix testnet which is completed after the tired some efforts and countless nights. The Matrix testnet is developed to perform the various tests as a practice of implementing the Matrix AI blockchain. The current testnet is compatible with basic transactions, AI application tests, a handful of DApps, working auto-coding Intelligent Contracts and several other surprises. The testnet is created with the multiple aims of creating AI-backed blockchain ecosystem that solves the most crucial problems which are associated current blockchain that includes common security vulnerabilities, unnecessary programming barriers, a lack of flexibility, wasteful mining and sluggish transaction speed. Some of the other features of Matrix AI testnet are;

• high-performance TPS

• highly-regulated network hierarchy

• support various transaction type: One2Multiple, Offline, Smart contract

• AI transactions as well as support for rich texts, images, and videos, AI Features: Formal Verification Natural Language Input

• AI server

Hooray! MatrixAI Testnet Github Page

In order to try the Matrix testnet out, individual can also go through their GitHub repository named go-Matrix which is based on go-Ethereum. You can also check out the various documentation available on their GitHub pages which includes Matrix Web wallets, Matrix block explorer, user guide to deploy the Matrix blockchain, and glossary to know the various terms used throughout the various development stages.

Along with Matrix AI testnet, they have also introduced the current updates and demos relating to the MATRIX Secure Virtual Machine, the MATRIX auto-coding Intelligent Contracts, and the MATRIX Digital Assets Safe. An ultimate aim of utilizing the AI and cloud computing along with blockchain technology is that the Matrix AI testnet will allow the development team to analyze the self-optimizing capabilities of the Matrix Network. Matrix is the first blockchain deployed the strong AI which is capable of optimizing and enhancing itself by the human-like ability of self-learning and that’s what makes the Matrix AI testnet way ahead of other platforms.

Matrix is also planning to launch several community activities to keep the user interested and active in Matrix testnet project. These activities include bug bounty programs and DApp competition. Along with it, as mentioned above, they will also launch the MATRIX Blockchain Browser and Online Wallet Prototype and you can see the basic documentation on their GitHub page. Matrix has also released the video featuring MATRIX CEO Mr. Owen Tao, MATRIX CTO Dr. Bill Li and MATRIX Chief AI Scientist Dr. Steven Deng, answering some of the most frequently asked questions. You can watch this video for any sort of quarries.

Here is the simple guide if you are thinking about getting started with Matrix testnet by yourself.

Getting started

In order to get started with Matrix testnet, you must meet some basic hardware requirements to ensure your client behaves gracefully throughout the setup process, please check your system meets the following requirements:

With any OS, be it Mac or Windows you will need the minimum of 6 Core (Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5670 @2.93GHz) CPU, 8GB of DDR4 RAM and free storage of minimum 500 GB.

Build from Source

First of all, you need to clone the source code from the MATRIX’s GitHub repository which you can clone or download from here. Git clone https://github.com/MatrixAINetwork/MATRIXAIPOC_GO.git

Building gman requires both a Go and a C compiler. You can install them using your favorite package installer. Once the dependencies are installed, run:

cd MATRIXAIPOC_GO

make gman

or, to build the full suite of utilities:

make all

The full node on the MATRIX test network

You certainly don’t want to spend any real bucks until you get the hands over the entire system and plenty of experience. In other words, instead of attaching to the main network, you want to join the test network with your node, which is fully equivalent to the main network, but with play money only.

$ gman — testnet — fast — cache=512 console

Operating private network

Operating your own private network can be the crucial job and requires a lot of configurations and need everything to be set up manually. You can go through the complete source codes and deploy them directly from GitHub. Apart from that you can also execute the smart contract and create member nodes to create a full mining ecosystem. In order to get through the setup guide and codes, you can again completely rely on Matrix’s GitHub repository.

Matrix AI test network is really one of its kind and top of the line network allowing its users to realize the power of cloud computing, AI and blockchain together. Moreover, Matrix test network also enables its users to get their hands on the network without speeding anything like you do with most of the existing blockchain network and end up getting nothing. Matrix test net like Ethereum’s, also allows you to deploy smart contract, testing the transaction speed, statistic and search, block information, and account information in case if you are having member nodes. Similarly, you can go to Matrix’s GitHub repository if you are intended to get started with other features like block explorer, web wallet and so on. The matrix testnet will be available for public by the end of this month.
