P-Rep TestNet 2nd Phase Announcement
Greetings from the ICON Team,
We are proud to announce that the P-Rep TestNet 1st Phase has been successfully completed on May 17th, 2019. This is a significant step for the ICON Network to complete the first TestNet as the decentralized network comprised of P-Rep candidates while achieving stable operation without any stoppages.
As previously announced, the P-Rep TestNet 2nd Phase will commence shortly. The 2nd Phase period is extended for participants’ convenience and will last from June 5th, 2019 UTC 05:00 until Mid August 2019. The TestNet participants can submit the application forms via the Google survey link below. Submitted static IPs will be renewed on a daily basis allowing participation throughout the TestNet operation period.
Please find detailed information on the schedule and test items below.
[P-Rep TestNet 2nd Phase Schedule]
Step 1. Node set-up + Application form & Static IP address submission
- Submit the application form for the TestNet from May 20th until June 5th 03:00 UTC. Latecomers can still submit the application forms until July 30th 03:00 UTC and the submission will be reflected on a daily basis
- Set up and run a node for the TestNet by June 5th 05:00 UTC. Latecomers can set up and run their nodes as soon as their application process is complete

Step 2. P-Rep TestNet 2nd Phase Docker release
- We strongly encourage all participants to stand by in the TestNet telegram channel on June 5th 03:00 UTC as technical support for P-Rep node deployment will be provided until the opening of the 2nd Phase
- Latecomers, joining after June 5th 05:00 UTC, can refer to the guideline below to install their nodes

Step 3. P-Rep TestNet 2nd Phase Opening
- The P-Rep TestNet 2nd Phase will open on June 5th 05:00 UTC (14:00 KST)
- 22 P-Rep nodes constitute one TestNet
- All P-Rep participants must activate their nodes at the same time when the TestNet opens
- Multiple TestNets may open depending on the number of participants
- A separate telegram channel will be set up for each TestNet comprising the 22 participants
[Test Items to be Executed]
The test items to be executed during the P-Rep TestNet 2nd Phase are as follows.
- Test on block production and validation by continuous tx generation every 3 to 10 seconds
- Intensive transaction load test on a specific date/ time
- Hard fork and governance training
The ICON Foundation will expose P-Rep candidates to diverse test situations enabling them to thoroughly review both technical and governance aspects before the MainNet launch.
