Dear community,

We are very pleased to announce that the IoT Chain test network has been officially released! As mentioned previously, the code is now open source at: https://github.com/IoTChainCode/itc-ts

We would like to thank our community for their incredible support as we reach this important milestone in building a secure, lite OS for the Internet of Things.

The ITC test network allows us to demonstrate what we have built so far as well as identify and resolve issues and gather performance metrics ahead of the main network release. IoT Chain is not just a white paper and idea; it is a tangible product with real-world applications. We firmly believe that distributed ledger and DAG technology has some of the biggest impact in the IoT space and look forward to bringing this vision to life.

We will be sharing important updates from the Chinese live event on our Twitter page so be sure to follow us at <https://twitter.com/IoT_Chain>.

Lastly, we will be hosting an English recorded broadcast which we will use to answer select questions from the official IoT Chain Reddit https://redd.it/7w495i. Community members are encouraged to start submitting their questions now. We will do our very best to answer as many of them as we can!

We are working hard on the release of our yellow paper (technical specification) as well our new website so stay tuned for further announcements!
