Greetings ICONists,

Early this week (starting 2nd SEP 2019) almost all P-Reps, including us were planning and getting ready for Phase-3 testnet. Phase-3 testnet is expected to be as close to live network as possible for Decentralization Simulation. There will also be Stress Tests. However the Phase-3 testnet is postponed to start on September 10th 06:00 UTC.
