1// We're proud to announce TOOL Testnet launch!

2// Scaling Ethereum is not just about increasing gas limit: it's also about changing the way transactions are processed. TOOL is Ethereum's 𝙃𝙮𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙚 𝘾𝙤-𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙤𝙧: a permissionless, infinitely customizable, self-organizing network based on Ethereum L1.

3// TOOL provides a layer for Soft Finality, seamlessly transforming Ethereum into a 1-second block time chain for everyone - from individuals to institutions. It enables low-latency trade and payment settlements, strengthening Ethereum's DeFi leadership.

4// TOOL extends Ethereum's core principle of Credible Neutrality to the transaction supply chain, enabling verifiable end-to-end privacy for transactions, providing fair access to blockspace, removing existing power asymmetries and centralization vectors.

5// TOOL's vision has received great support from the community, with contributors including @ethereumfndn, @LidoFinance, @ssv_network, @Obol_Collective, @Rocket_Pool, @offchain, @P2Pvalidator, @ChorusOne, @Stakely_io, @RockawayX_Infra, @ChainSafeth, @eth_everstake, ...

6// ... participating in its launch on Hoodi Ethereum testnet.

7// TOOL does not require any changes in the core Ethereum protocol or validator setups - but unifies transaction processing infrastructure, connecting participants from traders, wallets and RPCs, to OFAs, solvers and arbitrage searchers.

8// As TOOL aims to become a standard, we made security one of our top priorities: this is why we have partnered with @sigp_io, founders of Lighthouse Ethereum consensus client, to conduct a full-scale codebase audit.

9// TOOL's short-term roadmap includes collaboration with apps & infrastructure providers, sub-second UX showcases, and rapid network scaling. @nuconstruct, we're looking forward to continued feedback from the growing community as we approach Mainnet release.

10// Finally, we'd like to thank @parithosh_j, @gabriellassh, @sabrychiaa, @ncerovac, @IsdrsP, @potuz_eth, @_prestwich, @MatthiasAng, @OisinKyne, @drjasper_eth, @Pacobits, @KamBenbrik, @EmiT87, @0xPatches for helping bring TOOL to Hoodi and extremely valuable feedback!

// This is the end of the thread. Follow @nuconstruct for future updates. Would appreciate it if you could like and repost this thread!

P.S. the video has sound, make sure it's on :)

awesome congrats!!

congrats this is huge!!

tysm!💜

Huge congrats! Thank you so much for working on making Ethereum even better

nuconstruct marketing always goes so hard, its like if frutiger aero was injected with 2080's big pharma

This is the funniest description I ever heard 🤣

i cant stop watching and listening on repeat its so good

Hope you followed @tenshi_exe since last time 🫡

Congrats princess 😛😛😛😛

Exciting times :)

Congrats on the Testnet launch, frens. 👏 Exciting times ahead!

big congrats princess, can’t wait to cook something up together

congratulations! any plans/roadmap on implementing programmable privacy though?

INJECT THE FRUITGER AERO

✨

how can i try this out?

Just add the RPC we currently serve from our node! You can get it in our Introduction one-pager. For testing purposes, Hoodi TOOL RPC serves optimistic confirmations for every block, even if the validator is not connected to TOOL for the slot, to make a consistent DevX for apps that'd like to build their showcases/demos on top of it. This RPC can be exposed by any TOOL node and we'll work with many providers as we prepare public docs on running your own TOOL node!

congrats

Thank you! TOOL's pace of development wouldn't have been possible without Automata!

Happy to build together with @nuconstruct on this

awesome congrats

👏

Amazing!! Congrats 🙌

Thank you so much for your support!

This is super cool! How do you reckon this would interplay with ePBS + BALs?

got to hop on this
