New testnet

Developers usually test their products on a testnet (a separate network where coins have no value) before launching them on the mainnet.

This week TON testnet was completely relaunched on powerful hardware to increase its stability and responsiveness. Testnet API, explorers, wallets and other testnet infrastructure have been updated.

We launched the previous testnet exactly a year ago, when there were not so many developers. We are glad to see that now the number of TON developers has increased greatly, so that the previous testnet, launched on rather weak hardware, has ceased to cope with the load.
