Overview
The Root Network Substrate framework is upgrading to v1.0.0. This brings a range of benefits for builders on the network, including security patches, performance and efficiency improvements, new protocols and streamlining for future upgrades.
A summary of the major changes with the upgrade are outlined here.
This week we’ll be pushing the upgrade from Spout-1 (Devnet) to Porcini(Testnet) for further QA, moving one step closer to production (Mainnet).
The Move to Porcini
On 24 July UTC the Substrate upgrade will move from Spout-1 (Devnet) to Porcini (Testnet), after which we invite developers to begin thoroughly regression testing all key functions that touch The Root Network on Porcini. This is the final step before upgrading to Mainnet, further updates will contain specifics of this.
Known Issues
Please review the current known issues for the Substrate upgrade and see if it's a change required on your side for any problems.
Developer Support
For questions and support when testing please reach out to support@therootnetwork.com.
Connecting Sprout
A priority moving forward is to ensure smooth transitions for any future upgrades; thus, we have launched a developer environment layer for experiences and services to connect to and test on on The Root Network, Sprout-1 (Devnet). This is in addition to Porcini (Testnet) for QA, and Mainnet for production. We highly encourage all builders to connect to and build out support for Sprout-1. Note, we do not require any further testing on Denvet for the current Substrate upgrade.
You can find the information to connect to the Devnet Sprout-1 here.
Stay tuned for more details as we move through testing and implementation of Substrate v1.0.0.
