We believe it's time to launch the Stargate public testnet this week.
We've accomplished several key milestones. We have an initial Gaia build with Stargate functionality. The legacy endpoints and Tendermint changes are stable.
Unfortunately the key milestone we were looking over the last week isn't completed yet. The migrate command is still not ready to go.
Thus are first public testnet will be a fresh genesis file that we will release on Tuesday. A simulated upgrade of the Cosmos Hub will wait on the migrate command completion.
By releasing this testnet, the ecosystem can build up experience with IBC, the new SDK binaries and new transaction construction.
Deploy Gaia 3.0 alpha 1 version
Launch public testnet.
Continue integration case study with Lunie.
Welcome integration participation with Figment
Prepare documentation for the next phase of testnet participation
Check in with exchange partners on compliance impact of Stargate Readiness Level 0
Ongoing work aligning with Tendermint 0.34
Finishing up evidence handling and integrating the Cosmos SDK with Tendermint 0.34
- migrate command is the main blocker on testnet launc
- Main 3 outsanding pieces are as follows:
- enabling gRPC gateway
- migrating PubKey to protobuf based extensible address format
- Tendermint 0.34 updates (including support for non-zero initial height)
- Tracking issue for Cosmos SDK's Stargate release candidate can be found here
- Supervisor is now merged with the Cosmos SDK. We need to figure out where gaia users will get supervisor.
- Continue integr
- Launch testnet
- Lunie integration feedback with Lunie
- Endpoint testing
- Ongoing validator key collection
