The Fujiwara Testnet | The Next Step on the Way to SORA v3
A New Era Begins
The SORA ecosystem continues to evolve with the launch of the Fujiwara (藤原) testnet, a crucial milestone in the journey toward SORA v3. Named after the influential Fujiwara family, which shaped Japan’s Heian period (794–1185) through strategic foresight and cultural refinement, this testnet represents the same values of adaptability, endurance, and innovation.
TL;DR
- The Fujiwara testnet is an important milestone in SORA v3’s development, introducing the SORA v3 Hub Chain’s core functionalities.
- Interested community members can participate .
- The SORA v3 Hub Chain will enable seamless cross-border transactions and financial resilience, uniting fragmented economies into a cohesive and inclusive new world financial order.
The Legacy of 藤原・Fujiwara
The Fujiwara family rose to prominence in 7th-century Japan, dominating the Imperial court through strategic alliances and governance. Acting as regents (摂政 (Sesshō) and 関白 (Kampaku)), they became the archetypal 公家 (kuge) family, shaping Japan’s cultural and political landscape for centuries. Their legacy inspires the name of the first of many testnets on our Way to SORA v3.
Without disrupting the current network, the SORA v3 network will run in parallel with the Polkadot-based SORA v2. In the future, new assets onboarded to SORA v3 will also be tradable on Polkaswap (if the asset users wish), because a bridge will connect both networks.
Introducing the SORA v3 Hub Chain
At the core of this network upgrade lies the SORA v3 Hub Chain, an infrastructure that:
- Enables seamless collaboration: Bridging permissioned and decentralized systems for cost reduction and mutual benefit.
- Enhances resilience: De-correlates CBDCs and other Government-issued digital assets from political and economic instability, providing a stable, supranational platform for global transactions.
- Supports economic sovereignty: Balances the role of nation-states in managing their domains with the freedom of borderless financial activities.
The SORA v3 Hub Chain will enable anyone, including central banks, to be able to create their own assets on the global SORA v3 platform. For those wanting greater privacy, they can process transactions in a private subnet they control, without sacrificing the security or interoperability of a supranational, decentralized blockchain.
Built on , the SORA v3 Hub Chain empowers nations, institutions, and individuals by providing a solid infrastructure base to create a robust and inclusive financial system, bringing the best of blockchain technology under one network.
Why the Fujiwara Testnet Matters
The is the first testnet for SORA v3 and is a sandbox for experimenting with the key features of SORA v3, including:
- Decentralized Finance (DeFi): Enabling efficient and secure cross-border transactions.
- Governance Participation: Allowing users to actively shape the ecosystem’s future by implementing the SORA Parliament.
- Network Stability: As a newly developed public blockchain feature, the Fujiwara testnet will provide valuable insights about this innovative feature, as Iroha-based networks have been private infrastructure.
By fostering decentralized collaboration, the Fujiwara testnet will lay the groundwork for a financial ecosystem that thrives beyond geographical and political limitations.
Join the Movement
The Fujiwara testnet is pivotal to realizing SORA’s vision of a decentralized, inclusive financial future.
Ultimately, the SORA platform seeks to bring broad social benefits to its users through cutting-edge technology and the robust flexibility that only a blockchain like Hyperledger Iroha 2 can provide. A promising pool of projects, including the aforementioned SORA decentralized economy, is already underway to take advantage of Iroha 2’s capabilities. These include central bank digital currencies, savings bonds, and other innovative NGO programs aimed at social development.
