# Release status

> Check Tavchain Testnet's available interfaces, published node release, compiler compatibility and current limits on participation and public services.

Tavchain Testnet is an EVM network for application development. Public services use EVM chain ID 771002 and native chain ID tavchaintestnet\_771002-1. This page describes release capabilities and compatibility; it is not a real-time uptime monitor.

## Interfaces

| Area | Available workflow |
| - | - |
| Wallets | Custom EVM network connection, with MetaMask as the reference wallet. |
| Transactions | Native Test TAV transfers and Solidity contract deployment and interaction. |
| Developer tools | Browser development with Remix and a [Hardhat 3 starter](https://docs.tavchain.safeney.com/tavchain/hardhat.md) with a verified public GLD deployment and token-transfer example on chain 771002. |
| Explorer | Blocks, transactions, token activity and contract-source verification through Blockscout. |
| Faucet | 1 Test TAV per address per 24 hours, subject to challenge verification and available balance. |
| RPC | Public HTTP Ethereum JSON-RPC with the [documented limits](https://docs.tavchain.safeney.com/tavchain/http-api.md). |
| Nodes | [Native full-node downloads](https://docs.tavchain.safeney.com/tavchain/operate/node-native.md) for Linux x86-64, Linux ARM64 and Windows x86-64, plus separate [Docker](https://docs.tavchain.safeney.com/tavchain/operate/node-docker.md) and [Linux service](https://docs.tavchain.safeney.com/tavchain/operate/node-service.md) guides. |

## Release compatibility

Operators should use [Upgrades and recovery](https://docs.tavchain.safeney.com/tavchain/operate/upgrades-recovery.md) for maintenance and release-specific upgrade guidance. For current hosted service availability, see [Tavchain Status](https://status.tavchain.safeney.com/).

The [prebuilt Docker image](https://docs.tavchain.safeney.com/tavchain/operate/node-docker.md) uses **1.8.1-tavchain.eval1** on Linux x86-64 and includes the 771002 network configuration. It passed fresh non-validator sync, fixed-height state comparisons and same-identity graceful restart on GitHub-hosted Ubuntu 24.04. The [Linux service guide](https://docs.tavchain.safeney.com/tavchain/operate/node-service.md) uses the same client version through a separate native installation and targets Ubuntu 24.04 with systemd 255.

The **1.8.1-tavchain.eval1-native1** release provides native full-node downloads for Linux x86-64, Linux ARM64 and Windows x86-64. Its checks cover non-validator sync, state comparison, graceful shutdown and restart on the [documented test environments](https://docs.tavchain.safeney.com/tavchain/operate/node-native.md). They do not establish validator operation for these binaries. Native macOS and Windows ARM64 downloads are not available. Wallets and applications do not need to run a node to use public RPC.

The contract tutorials use Solidity 0.8.21 with the Shanghai EVM target. Use the exact settings in each guide when reproducing its build or verifying source. Other compiler and tool combinations need their own compatibility checks.

## Current limitations

* The testnet is unaudited and uses an initial validator set under shared administration.
* The network uses native TAV staking, delegation, fee distribution and governance. Its initial validators remain centrally operated; independent operator acceptance is pending.
* No official bridge, IBC asset-transfer route or mainnet balance conversion is available.
* Public WebSocket RPC and debug tracing are not offered.
* Availability is best effort. No uptime SLA or guaranteed incident response time is offered.

Test TAV is for development and has no monetary value. Read the [security model](https://docs.tavchain.safeney.com/tavchain/learn/security.md) before using the network.
