Shardeum Sphinx (Betanet) is Live!
After 1.5 million transactions and 45k smart contracts deployed on Liberty, Shardeum evolves into Sphinx. Be a part of the community, run your own validator nodes and enable decentralization for everyone!
The Final Testnet
Shardeum's journey to mainnet requires thorough testing of prototype networks. The alphanet, Shardeum Liberty, tested EVM compatibility and sharding features. Shardeum Sphinx simulates Shardeum’s mainnet environment, ensuring production readiness and allowing safe application testing. Sphinx is the final step before the mainnet launch.
Before that, let's see the progress made on
