Introduction
We’re in the final stages of prepping for the introduction of the v4 blockchain software that will be open-sourced by dYdX (the “dYdX Chain” or “v4”). Our next milestone will be the launch of Testnet 3. To prepare, we will wind down Testnet 2 on September 11th at 15:00 UTC. The network will relaunch on September 12th and the front end will be available on September 13th with a new set of features. The testnet will not be available for use during this time.

Public Testnet 3
Milestone 4 introduced public Testnet 1 and public Testnet 2 introduced features like 30+ markets, trading fees, order book refinement, and much more.
Testnet 3 is our final planned network reset. All future updates to the Testnet will take place onchain.
The updated public Testnet will include key upgrades such as:
- Conditional orders: Stop orders and take profit orders
- MEV nodes: Adds MEV tracking to better identify bad validators.
- Spam mitigation: Adds protection from denial of service attacks through the usage of rate limiting requests and scaling the number of orders a user may have based upon their total net collateral.
- Delay-msg module: Enables certain messages to be sent on a predefined delay.
- v4 supported markets: Added and removed various markets for trading
- Gas fees: Enables a governance token to be used to pay for gas
We look forward to the launch on September 13th. In the meantime please leave feedback for the Testnet in our Discord.
