Summary
Testnet 5
The team worked to close out some edge cases found during testing and Ragnarok of Testnet4.2 and was able to release Testnet 5. Testnet 5 is the final testnet planned before Chaosnet, but it must be stable and not suffer any major issues in order to pass.
Midgard
Thanks for the huge amount of support for Midgard. The team has assessed all input:
1) Currently re-allocating resources over next 2 weeks to re-build the most used endpoint (pool detail) to add better caching/queries and use time-series design better.
2) This will be the template for internal and external resources to update the rest of the endpoints, some may become /v2 but perhaps not needed yet
3) Team are further engaged with some community resources to look into building a GraphQl layer, starting with a PoC
4) Midgard is a focus for the next month to get it up to speed with community expectations.
Since Midgard is open-source, and every THORNode runs one, and every external service will use it, it is an excellent project for community PRs and improvements — please feel free to work on it.
