Technology development
In qng-1.018 version，EVM data expands too fast，which will increase the cost of the verification node over time. In the development of Qitmeer Network's latest development version qng-1.0.19，the problem of EVM data which is expanding too fast will be alleviated. At the same time，by default，the archiving of historical status data by all nodes will be reduced to reduce the memory requirements of verification nodes. For nodes whose main business is to provide services，more historical blockchain data can be archived to facilitate the provision of related services. This type of archive node inherits the same functionality as a full node and builds an archive of historical states by deriving all states from a full node.
Qitmeer Testnet faucet is ready for use. All developers who want to build an ecosystem are urged to test on the test network first，so as to reduce the storage of junk data on main network nodes.
