# Testnet

### Official closed door testing began in December 2023, a few months behind schedule.

12 testnet versions have been released prior to making the project public. Most of the work on the protocol is complete, the current testnet version is ready for the initial public testing phase.

Our testnet application delivers both the latest, fully functional backend and frontends at any given stage during the build iterations.&#x20;
