Q: Alphanet is scheduled for Q1-Q2 this year. We’re nearing the end of Q1. At this point, are there any more updates on registration for alphanet and when alphanet will be launched.

A: Alphanet is currently estimated to launch in Q2 of this year and progress update will follow its launch. There will not be a registration for it though, as this network will be private without third-party access.

Here’s a reminder of all testing stages that we shared last year:

Testnet is a usable prototype of EXRT Network consensus, where end users can try sending transactions, validating, running contracts, launching DApps. Users report issues that they have while using the system.

Alphanet is a stage with another private TestNet (based on the one we have public) that will have alpha protocol of EXRNchain (crosschain ability) connected to it. Once we launch it, it will be our main backbone for testing crosschain and audition of issues.

Betanet is basically addition of our AlphaNet accomplishments to the public testnet, so it’s beta version of EXRNchain that will be connected to public testnets of other assets for the purpose of testing the crosschain.
