In early June we were discussing the news from Exorde developers.

The developers do not stop in their work, and just recently launched a testnet!

Specifically, so far four phases of the test v1 have been announced.

Phase 1: Initial Observation, where the Exorde Labs team will be the sole contributor, to check that everything works well enough and that the system is stable enough. (this phase should last ~7 days).

Phase 2: Progressive opening of the Testnet to beta-testers. The Team will release web scraping modules (compatible only with Windows, for now, Linux & Mac later this summer), to participate in the Testnet. Exorde team will provide a web dashboard very soon to follow the Network activity, statistics & URLs being spotted on the system. (this phase should last 1 month).

Phase 3: consolidation. The Testnet should be open to anyone who would like to download our open source modules & participate! This phase will include more detailed web dashboards to show data blocs being mined on the Exorde Network, the number of available & busy workers, the protocol details, with more statistics, URL spotted per hour & more. (End of July, early August).

Phase 4: Testnet with improved staking mechanisms, rewards & dynamic protocol adjustments. Continuous improvements, most advanced web scraping modules! (end of summer — September).

Looking forward to details!
