Cardano Opens Dijkstra Testnet While The Upgrade Itself Awaits Its Next Step

Summary

Cardano has made a public test environment available for preparing the Dijkstra upgrade. Pool operators and developers can connect using published configuration files and test assets, allowing wallets, exchanges, indexers and applications to check compatibility. The test network is a rehearsal environment, not the activation of Dijkstra’s new protocol rules: the transition depends on the 11.2 prerelease and a hard-fork initiation action. No mainnet activation date or ADA price impact is established. Progress is best measured by successful synchronization and transaction handling, plus issues found and fixed.
