At around 3:00 am on November 13th, Beijing time, the much-anticipated Polkadot parachain development work once again ushered in a major milestone, and the parachain test network Rococo V1 officially opened for registration applications.
Just 5 hours later, the first parachain on top of Rococo V1 was born, and the layer-2 expansion protocol Plasm Network took the lead, becoming the first parachain to access the Rococo V1 test network.
Although it was two days later than expected (registration was originally planned to open on January 11), the key progress of the head project is obviously enough to attract attention, and there are also heated discussions in the community. Odaily noticed that there was such a news widely circulated in major communities in the morning - "The first batch of projects participating in the construction of Rococo V1 include Laminar Protocol, Acala Network, Darwinia, Plasm and Robonomics". However, Polkadot's ecological privacy project Phala Network stated that the information comes from Polkadot's official Wiki encyclopedia screenshot, which is actually an old version of the Rococo testnet, and does not mean that these five projects will participate in Rococo V1 as the first batch of projects version of the test.
In fact, as early as the Rococo V1 conference held on December 17 last year, the official revealed that the Rococo V1 network is expected to support about 10 parachains, which means that after the Plasm Network, there may be 9 more projects that will Join the Rococo V1 network as a parallel link to participate in the test.
announced yesterdayTest Registration GuideAmong them, the official stated that the parachain of the Rococo V1 test network will be released every few days, but a new parachain will only be added when the network is running stably, and the registration of the parachain may be canceled if necessary. In order to reduce the burden on the network, these parachains will be re-registered after the stability improves in the future.
According to official requirements, projects wishing to participate in this Rococo V1 network test need:
Maintain at least one validator (full block authority node) for the relay chain;
Maintain at least one proofreader (full block authorized node) for the parachain;
Register through the Rococo V1 Parachain Registry.
In addition, the acquisition of qualifications for this test will be based on the principle of "first come, first served". Therefore, projects wishing to participate in this test need to submit registration applications as soon as possible to compete for the remaining test seats. but,It seems that some projects that want to participate in the test as soon as possible choose to directly take advantage of the Plasm Network. The cross-chain DEX protocol Zenlink has announced a strategic cooperation with the Plasm Network, and plans to prioritize the integration of the Zenlink DEX module into the Plasm Network. Conduct cross-chain transaction tests between parallel chains.
