The Medium post also details that nodes for the BTFS testnet have been deployed across the whole world, thus providing a better access of developers to the testnet.
Besides, the testnet will contain all recent updates, patches, etc, integrated.
The API documents for the testnet have been released for developers’ reference.
The post confesses that the team had managed to create the testnet within a very short time. Now the dev team will be waiting for feedback from the Tron community.
Bithumb to support the BTT airdrop
