Summary
Release The Kraken
This is a feature that removes all mimir transaction support and returns the chain to its desired parameters (ie, removes all caps and limits). This will be planned to run on the last multi-chain chaosnet. Once the Kraken is released, the chain cannot be stopped and the team will no longer be able to influence it.

DEVOps
The team have invested considerable time in the infra space so that THORNode operators can seamlessly build secure boxes. This will be done with the help of some community members to ensure it is built properly. The infra uses Kubernetes and Terraform scripts.
Audit
The team have decided to commission a infrastructure to ensure the THORNode setup is secure and safe for Node Operators. The team have identified a suitable firm to lead this review and are in discussions with them.
- Code Review: Complete
- Economic Review: Preparing Final Review
- TSS Audit: 23%
- Infra Audit: scoping
Next Milestones
The updated testnet has been deployed and is under review with some members of the community. Chaosnet is expected once testnet has been fully-validated in several environments. There currently isn’t any known blockers to Chaosnet release.
