# Composable testnet. # Testnet 1 **Launch with an initial validator, when the chain provide block, we'll have faucet for othder validator join testnet** We'll start this testnet with an initial validator. To join the testnet, other validators will need to have a faucet. The faucet will provide them with the necessary tokens to participate in the testnet. We also deploy the 08-wasm contract and create IBC connection between Picasso testnet <-> Cosmos testnet. **Goal :** 1. Stable IBC connection. Ensure that our light client, and the relayer work 2. Testing transfer and other IBC middleware / module (IBC rate limit, packet middleware module , CW20 token transfer). We will keep Testnet1 running for 1 - 2 weeks, and move to testnet 2 when we done the work for IBC middleware and mint/bank module. # Testnet 2 - This testnet will have all the features available in mainnet. This means that in addition to the features tested in testnet 1, we will have additional features available : - This testnet and Picasso testnet will have shared total supply. - The dotsama assets we bridge over will also need to be native tokens on a native chain. - We'll launch with a very small initial token distribution in genesis (30 genesis validators and 1 PICA per validator). Since the testnet shares a total supply with the Picasso testnet, we need to burn a comparable amount of tokens to the initial token in order to ensure proper IBC transfer logic after creating an IBC connection. - The staking feature will become available once we create an IBC connection between two chains. Users can transfer tokens from the Parachain to Cosmos and delegate these tokens. The rewards for this staking will be distributed by a treasury instead of minting new tokens and distributing them. - This testnet don't have inflation. **Goal :** 1. Testnet 1's goal. 2. Confirm that modifications to the mint and bank modules are functional, and that staking rewards are calculated correctly. 3. Verify that the total supply is shared between the Banksy and Picasso testnets.
