# Namada Validator Call w/Community & Park, Gavin, Bengt (2023-09-27)

There will be a couple more testnets.

Next testnet is Tuesday next week.

Park w/Namada's goals:
- trying out a dummy patch (incident repsonse)
- test the RPGF model, which a number of us will have PGF tokens on launch, and steward roles, where we take part in allocating the PFG round
- Park asked for community interest in the PGF role, taking the first five to respond
- all be ready to respond if there is a crisis
- a security email approach, more formalized approach
- having us submit some kind of security email in case if there is an alert

Bengt:
- completely stripping the facuet from the next testnet
- there will be an API call for the faucet (RPC)
- it would be cool for people to take part in the campfire and test IBC to the next testnet
- the SDK is in a stage now complete with some docs, but Bengt would be happy to

- we are not far from being done, one major hurdle = test ETH bridge

Gavin:
- put some tokens in a the shielded pool woudl be a good test
- the SDK would help buffer changes in case the core protocol changes, Bength recognized the goal
- the Namada team could test out multi-sig ad a PGF recipients

- the next testnet will include load testing to stress out the network
