Subspace is launching Gemini Incentivized Testnet. More than 1000 nodes have already synced with the main chain.

Incentivized testnet rewards will start within 48 hours after 3000 nodes are fully synced and are actively participating in the consensus. Based on the current progress, we expect this event to occur late this week or early next, but it will ultimately depend on the overall network.

To fix the interquery timeout bug, Defund team is planning to start new chain at a clean state with snapshot of the current.

What will be fixed with this upgrade:
- Bring the chain back to normal tendermint sync speeds
- Bring down the storage the chain uses substantially

Proposal will be published soon

What you will have to do as validator?
I will make I guide with instructions to migrate from current to the new chain when its available.

Stay tuned!

Subspace have reached target of more than 3000 fully synced nodes. That means on-chain rewards will be enabled in next 48 hours. (Saturday, June 11, @ 3 PM UTC)

Team is aware that many community members are still in the process of syncing their nodes. As more nodes reach parity with the latest blocks, we expect the quality of peers to improve, reducing the average sync time. Team are also constantly working on improving the node client to reduce the RAM consumption and many other optimizations.

You can use the block explorer to check the latest block.

If your node happens to be far ahead in block number compared to what you see on the block explorer, it means you are on the wrong fork. The same is true if you see the following message on your terminal/logs: Node is running on non-canonical fork.

To fix this you will have to reset your node by following instruction in the guide

#subspace

Sei network will perform chain upgrade from 1.0.2beta to 1.0.3beta today roughly @ 16.00 UTC

cd $HOME && rm $HOME/sei-chain -rf
git clone https://github.com/sei-protocol/sei-chain.git && cd $HOME/sei-chain

Subspace have released latest snapshot, jun-13, which includes fixes to a frequently reported issue that results in nodes getting stuck and displaying a “Waiting for farmer to receive and acknowledge archived segment” warning. There are still some edge-cases it doesn’t cover, but it should address the most common issues.

To update your node you can use steps from the guide: https://github.com/kj89/testnet_manuals/tree/main/subspace#update-the-node

FYI: this update is not mandatory to be eligible for rewards but can make your node more stable

Quicksilver killerqueen-1 network will start @ 09:00 UTC on Thursday 23rd June.

Please check our guide to get your validator ready before chain starts!

You can lookup for your submitted gentx data in genesis file

Folks who did not submit a gentx, will be able to call the faucet once. This will give them a decent amount of tokens and will be able to get in the set easily if any genesis validators fail to start.

The first task will involved being up immediately after genesis. Every block missed in the first 100 blocks will reduce the points you can earn for this task so make sure your nodes are set up and ready to rock
