Sixty Million Testnet Transactions, and the Player Experience Still to Examine

Tarochi had just reached the testnet, and players were starting to ask whether they could complete its tasks smoothly. A-Zhen, who worked on the chain side, focused on another question: what did a large volume of test transactions show, and what did it leave unanswered?

Officials reported more than 60 million cumulative testnet transactions, averaging over 3 million per day, roughly three times Ethereum's daily transaction volume over the same period. Some in the chat were impressed by the scale. A-Zhen suggested discussing those figures separately from the lag players encountered: the first showed dense testing activity, while the second still needed to be traced through specific actions.

The figures made the scale of the test phase visible, but every transaction counted had occurred on the testnet; they could not establish the experience of full operation. A-Zhen planned to keep collecting steps that players could reproduce, so performance discussions would have concrete problems to investigate, not only a striking total.
