Peerplays is managed by block-signing “witness” node operators who have been elected by PPY token holders to ensure the successful operation and maintenance of the blockchain. From the Peerplays-Core wallet, PPY token holders can vote (and also remove their votes) for individual Peerplays witness node operators by selecting the vote tab and entering a witness account name.

To continue to achieve the highest standards of software security for the Peerplays blockchain, PBSA strongly suggests that all Peerplays witness node operators immediately begin to participate in a parallel public “testnet” blockchain(s).
Independent software developers may create, distribute and support front-end applications that “plug-in” and communicate directly with the Peerplays blockchain, using API libraries written in languages such as Javascript , Python , and Unity to name a few. These developers may choose to support “test releases” of such front-end apps by contributing a compiled version(s) for public beta testing on the Peerplays public testnet(s).
The distribution of testnet core token (ie. “PPYTEST”) may be managed by self-selected individuals or groups within the Peerplays witness community, while the remainder of the codebase for the testnet mirrors the live Peerplays Blockchain . This information about how to operate a graphene public testnet may be modified to support Peerplays-graphene.
Self-selected individuals or groups within the Peerplays witness community may then choose to operate a private faucet ( 1 , 2 ) to deliver PPYTEST tokens from the parallel public testnet to independent software developers or associated parties to support their use of the public testnet.
