A **test network** refers to a separate environment that allows developers and users to experiment and test new features, functionalities, and smart contracts without interacting with the main network. The testnet comprises **8 validator nodes** responsible for validating transactions and ensuring network consensus. They play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of the blockchain. Additionally, **4 master nodes** coordinate and manage network operations, providing administrative functionalities. **In total, 12 configured nodes** collectively contribute to the functionality, security, and performance of the testnet. The validator nodes verify transactions, while the master nodes oversee the network and ensure smooth operations. This distributed setup enhances the testnet's resilience, scalability, and fault tolerance, allowing for reliable testing and experimentation of blockchain applications.
