Charles Hoskinson Brief Cardano Update and Sunday AMA - 17/05/2020
(Forum post written by Eric Czuleger)

On May 17th 2020 Charles Hoskinson sat down for an AMA. Please find a list of his statements and hyperlinks to the questions he answered in the forum post below.

Launching the pioneers

The pioneer testnet has launched. The first week was about onboarding and getting exercises to the pioneers. This opened a communication channel between IOHK and the pioneers. The next week will be about propagating blocks. After that we will be opening the network to the wider public. Once we get it open to everyone we will wire on the Shelley wallet and do an end-to-end testnet with Daedalus.

After this we will do a balance check to ensure that all balances are correct. We will then verify that the hard fork combinator is working properly. This will allow us to ensure that everything is working seamlessly like the Byron reboot. This month is the pioneer month. Next month is about getting Shelley users online. We are looking forward to the product update at the end of this month...

Here are a few updates from the Cardano Foundation and IOHK:

Update #2:
Yesterday IOHK started deploying the new Cardano Explorer 1.0.0, which is a completely re-engineered application based on the latest Byron reboot infrastructure. Our new Cardano Explorer offers a significant step up from the original (released back in 2017 at Cardano mainnet launch).
As well as bringing new functionality, improved reliability and enhanced usability, it is foundational for a host of future features as we take the final steps towards the rollout of Shelley on mainnet!
