ICON P-Rep Phase 3 Testnet

The main goal of the P-Rep Testnet 3rd Phase is to simulate the conversion process from the Pre-Voting phase to the on-chain election. Everstake is registered and has launched a node on the ICON P-Rep Testnet 3rd Phase. To take part in the testing and network improvement, follow our detailed guide for ICON voting and staking.

Also, ICON is still running voting for P-Reps, and you can vote for Everstake here.

Building Apps With Cosmos SDK

Cosmos is a great platform for building application-specific blockchains. We have collected all the information needed for the development of dApps with Cosmos SDK in one place. If you want to have a starting point in your Cosmos development, take a look at our guide.

Kusama Node is Up

Kusama is Polkadot’s experimental “canary” network. It is an early, unaudited and wholly experimental pre-production trial network, designed to help understand how the various cutting edge technologies introduced in areas including governance, staking and sharding work under “real” economic conditions. As one of the top validators that takes an active part in the Polkadot network development, Everstake has launched a Kusama node and contributes to the network testing.

Elixxir Node

Last week, our engineering team has also been working on setting up an Elixxir node. Elixxir nodes are the foundation for a privacy-protecting mix network that can support messaging, payments, and dApp data transfer.

Everstake Infrastructure Upgrade
