Switchyard Testnet
Airchains Testnet (Switchyard)—May 2024
Airchains Switchyard Testnet Release
We are thrilled to announce the launch of the Switchyard testnet, a significant milestone in Airchains' journey towards building a scalable, privacy-preserving, and interoperable blockchain ecosystem.
Switchyard is the first public testnet of Airchains, built on our revolutionary modular architecture that empowers developers to create and deploy ZK-rollups across multiple blockchain networks. With Switchyard, we are opening the doors for developers, enthusiasts, and visionaries to experience the future of blockchain technology firsthand.
Key Features of Switchyard:
Decentralized Sequencers: Switchyard introduces a network of decentralized sequencers, ensuring efficient transaction ordering and processing. The testnet will initially operate with a set of trusted sequencers, laying the foundation for a fully decentralized network in future releases.
Advanced ZK Provers: Airchains' cutting-edge proving system generates succinct zero-knowledge proofs, guaranteeing the integrity and privacy of every transaction. Switchyard showcases the capabilities of our ZK provers, enabling developers to build privacy-preserving dApps with ease.
Robust Settlement Layer: The Airchains settlement layer forms the backbone of the Switchyard testnet, providing secure and reliable transaction finality across all connected ZK-rollups. This enables seamless interoperability and unlocks a world of possibilities for cross-chain interactions.
Multiple Execution Environments: Switchyard supports a variety of execution environments, including EVM, SVM, and CosmWasm, giving developers the flexibility to choose the best-suited environment for their dApps. This multi-environment support expands the potential use cases and attracts a diverse range of projects to the Airchains ecosystem.
Integration with Leading DA Layers: Data availability is crucial for scalability, and Switchyard seamlessly integrates with leading DA layers such as EigenDA, Celestia DA, and Avail DA. This integration ensures that dApps built on Airchains can scale without limits, leveraging the power of decentralized data storage.
