What is the purpose of the Ion Protocol testnet?

The purpose of the testnet app is for users and developers to experiment with the platform's features, identify potential issues, and gather valuable feedback to improve Ion.
  • We encourage active and honest feedback so we can iterate on our design and deliver a product that suits your needs.
  • Active testnet participants and Discord members will be given priority access to new feature releases.
