Over the summer, an invitation was extended to various ecosystem projects, encouraging them to test their decentralized applications (#dApps) on the ShimmerEVM Testnet. While it may have taken a tad longer than projected, this rigorous testing process was undeniably worthwhile. Today, most of the concerns have been addressed and rectified, leading a majority of the projects to express their contentment with the present state of the Testnet.
Stress Tests Under Congestion:
An integral part of the testing phase was to evaluate the performance of applications not just in isolated environments but also under potential network congestion. For this purpose, collaborations with various projects, including @Nakama_Labs, were initiated. Their coordinated efforts and shared insights have been invaluable in understanding dApp behavior under congested network scenarios. The outcomes? A reinforced assurance in the ShimmerEVM’s readiness to face real-world challenges once it goes live.
Upcoming Launch Details:
The pathway to the public launch of ShimmerEVM is clear, with only a few last-mile preparations remaining. Presently, the team is making final tweaks and running conclusive tests for a closed version of ShimmerEVM. Only after ensuring complete readiness and optimization in this closed environment will the gates be opened for a public launch.
For enthusiasts, developers, and stakeholders eagerly awaiting this development, it’s advisable to keep their eyes peeled for updates. In the interim, for more immediate discussions or queries, the Shimmer community is active and engaging on Discord.
