Bitroot V4 Testnet is coming soon, and the project team is preparing for this critical infrastructure verification phase. Unlike other testnets, this time they are adopting a progressive modular rollout with a clear purpose — to truly test the technology stack rather than just demonstrate it.

Starting from December 26th, the first phase will go live officially. Users and developers will be able to manually add the Bitroot chain, connect to the network via RPC endpoints, browse data using block explorers, and claim test tokens BRT for native account-to-account transfers. This phase focuses on network connectivity, operational stability, and core transaction processes, essentially laying the foundational framework.

Interestingly, V4 does not open all features at once. The project team has chosen to unlock new modules gradually each week. The benefit of this approach is to enable more in-depth testing, gather clearer feedback, and iterate more reliably on technical solutions.

Looking ahead, cross-chain bridging will be included in the testing scope to verify asset transfer security and execution efficiency; the DEX module will also follow, with a focus on throughput, latency, and parallel execution under real trading conditions. These are the core metrics that Layer1 scaling solutions need to validate.

From the project team’s statements, Bitroot V4’s goal is not to complete a checklist but to demonstrate whether a Layer1 supporting AI and parallelization can truly support real users, real assets, and real applications. This approach is quite pragmatic, as there is often a gap between theoretical data and actual operational performance.
