Tellor, a leading decentralized oracle protocol, is thrilled to announce the launch of the Antietam Testnet—the first public testnet deployment for their upcoming Layer 1 blockchain, Tellor Layer. Developed using the Cosmos SDK, this testnet marks a major milestone in achieving decentralized data consensus.
Introduction to Tellor Layer
Tellor Layer is a groundbreaking blockchain solution designed to achieve consensus on subjective data through a network of economically incentivized staked parties. As a Layer 1 blockchain, Tellor Layer enables users to request and validate a diverse range of data, relying on a decentralized network of validators to maintain the integrity and security of the chain. Learn more about the technical underpinnings of Tellor Layer in the new whitepaper.
About the Public Testnet: Antietam Testnet
The launch of the public testnet, codenamed Antietam Testnet, represents a critical phase in the development of Tellor Layer. This initial iteration focuses on testing the fundamental functionalities of the network, including node participation, validation processes, and data reporting mechanisms. The first iteration of the Antietam Testnet will stress-test the network and refine its processes in anticipation of the mainnet launch.
Participating in the Testnet
The primary objective of the Antietam Testnet is to engage the public in testing the core functionalities of Tellor Layer. Participants are encouraged to set up nodes, stake as validators, report data, and bridge test TRB tokens to and from the Tellor Layer. A detailed guide for configuring nodes and participating in the testnet is available in the documentation. Currently, oracle data reporting is not yet available for public testing.
Tellor invites all participants to join their Discord community for additional support and to interact with the project team regarding any questions or challenges encountered during testing.
Tellor is a decentralized oracle network that enables smart contracts on Ethereum and other blockchains to securely interact with off-chain data. Through its innovative design, Tellor brings the power of decentralized consensus to the world of data validation and reporting.
