This represents Bitroot’s final testnet deployment prior to mainnet launch, offering the closest approximation to the actual mainnet environment.
Unlike previous V1/V2/V3 testnets, V4 Testnet transcends mere technical validation upgrades. It constitutes a comprehensive system-level restructuring and integration test geared towards mainnet readiness.
I. What is Bitroot V4 Testnet?
Bitroot V4 Testnet operates under mainnet assumptions as the final testing iteration. Its core objectives have shifted from ‘functional viability’ to:
System stability and long-term operational capability
Product completeness and authentic user experience
Interoperability and consistency across all ecosystem modules
In essence:
V4 Testnet represents a comprehensive dress rehearsal for Bitroot’s mainnet architecture, rather than an experimental trial.
At this stage, Bitroot will cease introducing frequent radical experimental features, instead prioritising stability, uniformity, and sustainability as core design principles.
II. Key Differences Between This V4 Testnet and the Previous Three
Compared to prior testnets, Bitroot V4 Testnet represents a comprehensive upgrade from the ground up. The focus extends beyond the chain itself, encompassing the entire product layer and interaction layer.
Completely Upgraded Block Explorer
Redesigned information architecture and data presentation logic
Enhanced clarity in transaction, block, contract, and address query experiences
Data synchronisation and indexing methods closer to mainnet environments
Cross-Chain Bridge System with New UI/UX
Complete restructuring of decentralised transaction workflows
Clarified transaction and cross-chain management logic
Designed for real-world user scenarios, not merely testing
Concurrent Execution Engine and Consensus Layer Synergistic Upgrade
V4 Testnet conducts the first systematic validation of Bitroot’s parallel execution architecture under near-mainnet parameters, focusing on:
Stability and throughput performance of parallel transaction scheduling under high concurrency
Coherence between parallel execution and block production workflows
Deterministic behaviour of block generation and finality confirmation under complex loads
Synchronisation efficiency and self-recovery capabilities of nodes during abnormal states (disconnections, reconnections, state inconsistencies)
The core objective of this phase is to validate whether parallelised execution can maintain stable collaboration with the consensus layer under long-term operational conditions.
EVM execution environment and gas mechanism upgrades
Within the V4 Testnet, Bitroot’s EVM execution environment enters mainnet-level compatibility and security testing:
Verification of full compatibility for mainstream EVM smart contracts on Bitroot
Execution stability under high-complexity contracts and multi-contract interaction scenarios
Consistency and predictability of gas metering rules under parallel execution conditions
Stability and boundary testing of the gas fee model across varying load intervals
The focus of this phase is not merely ‘EVM support’, but verifying:
Whether EVM maintains mainnet-grade security and determinism within a parallel execution architecture.
System-Level Upgrade Validation for Cross-Chain Infrastructure
The cross-chain module is no longer tested as an isolated feature on V4 Testnet, but integrated into collaborative validation of the underlying system:
Integrity of cross-chain asset flows between Bitroot and other public chains
Security and stability of cross-chain bridges under high-frequency, continuous usage scenarios
Verification of asset security and rollback mechanisms under extreme conditions (abnormal interruptions, state inconsistencies)
Consistency testing between cross-chain state and Bitroot on-chain state synchronisation
The objective of this phase is to ensure the cross-chain system does not become a source of systemic risk under mainnet conditions.
Synergistic Operation Testing of Ecosystem Applications and Underlying Systems
V4 Testnet incorporates deployed ecosystem applications into comprehensive system load testing, including but not limited to:
Real-world trading behaviour testing for decentralised exchanges (DEXs)
Complete business processes including liquidity provision, withdrawal, and LP management
On-chain performance under concurrent multi-DApp operation
Real-time availability and consistency of on-chain data for block explorers and third-party tools
III. Core Focus Areas for V4 Testnet Testing
During the Bitroot V4 Testnet phase, testing will primarily focus on the following aspects:
Stability of the parallelised EVM public chain under real-world usage intensity
Long-term performance of transaction execution, state updates, and fee models
Collaborative operation of multi-product systems within the same public chain environment
User experience and usability issues encountered during authentic operational pathways
This constitutes not merely a technical test, but a comprehensive evaluation of both product and systems engineering capabilities.

V. Phased Rollout: Bitroot V4 Testnet Testing
Bitroot V4 Testnet represents the final comprehensive test network prior to mainnet launch. Unlike previous testnets, this iteration will progress through a phased rollout and incremental validation approach, ensuring each core functionality undergoes thorough verification in real-world usage scenarios.
Through a more granular and extended testing cycle, we aim to empower the community, developers, and node participants to identify issues more deeply, provide feedback, and collaboratively refine the protocol and infrastructure.
Testing Phase Schedule
Phase One｜Foundational Network and Account Interaction Testing
Opening Date: 26 December
This phase primarily focuses on validating the foundational capabilities of the Bitroot mainnet, including:
Adding the Bitroot V4 Testnet network (RPC / ChainID)
Wallet integration and network recognition
Basic functionality usage of the browser (Explorer)
Native asset (BRT) transfer testing between accounts
Transaction packaging, confirmation, and on-chain data traceability
During this phase, users may freely add the Bitroot chain, familiarise themselves with fundamental operational workflows, and validate network stability under genuine user interactions.
Phase Two｜Cross-Chain Bridge Testing
Projected: One week following Phase One completion
Upon establishing stable foundational chain operations, official cross-chain bridge testing will commence, prioritising verification of:
Bitroot ↔️ Cross-chain asset flows between other test networks
Transaction latency, stability, and failure handling logic for cross-chain transactions
Security under high concurrency and continuous cross-chain scenarios
Asset consistency and rollback mechanisms under extreme conditions
This phase constitutes a critical preparatory step prior to mainnet launch, laying the foundation for Bitroot’s multi-chain ecosystem.
Phase Three｜DEX and DeFi Component Testing
Expected: Commences following completion of cross-chain testing
Subsequently, decentralised exchange and liquidity-related testing modules will be progressively released, including:
DEX order matching and price execution
Liquidity provisioning / removal (LP)
Parallel execution performance under high-frequency trading scenarios
Stability of contract invocations, gas fees, and state updates
This will serve as a concentrated validation of Bitroot’s parallel EVM execution capabilities and suitability for real-world DeFi scenarios.
