Taiko will deprecate the alpha-2 testnet within 10 hours and will launch the alpha-3 testnet

Taiko, the zkRollup-based Ethereum second-tier network, issued a document stating that the alpha-2 testnet will be deprecated within 10 hours, and the alpha-3 testnet will be launched, which implements many fixes, improvements, and new components. The alpha-2 testnet introduced permissionless proofs, with 194 independent validators participating in verification, and more than 1.5 million transactions generated by more than 144,000 wallet addresses. Activities about rewarding verifiers to calculate expenditures will be announced later, and the NFT badges that should have been released on the alpha-2 testnet to commemorate participation in certain activities on the alpha-1 testnet will be postponed to a non-ephemeral network, possibly It is the Taiko mainnet.
