Optimized the Substats blockchain explorer, improved the calculation method of obtaining storage space and the display of storage space on the home page.
Resolved the problem which required too much TCESS for deploying the ink! Contract. Completed the “CESS’s ink! Contract Deployment Guide”.
Completed CESS Smart Contract document collation and process testing.
Testnet
Overview:
Over 17 consensus nodes and 1650 storage nodes registered with almost 8 tib effective storage space within 5 days after the v0.5.3 testnet was launched. More details on the blockchain explorer.
If you encounter any issues building a node, please seek assistance on CESS Discord.
Event:
The miner reward event for the CESS testnet continued as storage and consensus miners can earn points by participating. Points can be exchanged for CESS tokens when the mainnet launches. Click here for details.
