.@PortaltoBitcoin Testnet V2 Recap: Lessons Learned, Eyes on Mainnet

✅ Testnet V2 Recap
- Simulated cross-chain DEX across BTC, ETH, Solana, Lightning, and Portal Chain
- Internal swaps worked, but public launch was blocked by infra overload

✅ Key Issues
- Faucet abuse (bots flooding requests)
- Fund distribution across X chains too complex
- 900K+ daily wallets caused performance drops
- Dev resources pulled from Mainnet

✅ Lessons Learned
- Swaps function as intended
- Public faucets don’t scale
- Need a new testing approach

✅ Testnet V3 (Now Live)
- Private, invite-only to avoid abuse
- Dev-focused tools for real integration feedback
- Lean infra simulating production without overloading team

✅ Mainnet is the Focus
- All efforts now streamlined for a successful Mainnet launch

In short: V2 proved the tech, V3 refines the process — all eyes on Mainnet.
