Polkadot Developers Launch Rococo Testnet
On August 4, Polkadot developers launched the Rococo testnet to implement sharding using parallel chains (parachains). According to the developers, the key parameter of shards is communication, otherwise they will act as independent chains. Shards need to interact with peers to enable sending tokens between shards. Rococo’s new testnet is specifically designed to test Polkadot protocols that will enable communication between shards. Three separate parachains are available in Rococo: “tick”, “trick” and “track”, and developers…
