Insolar Launches Testnet 1.1 with Public Nodes on the Blockchain Platform

NEW YORK, NY - On March 4, 2019 Insolar（insolar.io） is launching the Testnet 1.1（explorer.insolar.io） of its blockchain platform with the participation of external nodes in its network. A number of corporate and academic partners have already reserved their nodes, including several bluechip companies and top tier academic institutions. The Swiss technical University ETH Zurich and Toronto’s York University will be participating.

Insolar is a global technology company building innovative public and private blockchain solutions on the Insolar blockchain platform: the most secure, flexible and scalable blockchain for business.   

In January 2019, Insolar successfully launched its Testnet 1.0 with a throughput of over 10,000 transactions per second on 20 nodes. During Testnet 1.0, all the participating nodes were hosted internally by Insolar.   

Since Insolar’s platform is linearly scalable, each new active network node added to the network allows for the platform’s speed to increase. This makes the speed at which the platform can perform practically unlimited. The significance is decisive: in earlier generations of blockchain transaction speed typically becomes slower when more nodes join the network. 

With its unrivaled scalability, Insolar has set a valuable milestone for achieving widespread enterprise adoption of blockchain, a technology which can revolutionize the way the world does business. Gartner predicts that in the near future, 20% of global economic infrastructure will be running on blockchain-based systems, which will add a colossal US $3.2 trillion in annual business value.   

The launch of the Testnet 1.1 coincides with recent improvements in the performance of the Insolar platform. The fixes and enhancements have allowed the network throughput to increase to over 16,000 transactions per second on just 20 nodes. This makes it the most scalable blockchain platform for enterprise worldwide. As an example, Paypal can only handle 193 transactions per second.   

Running a node during Insolar’s Testnet 1.1 is free and easy, while network participants can create accounts, generate transactions, and observe network capacity and throughput.
