CASPER TestNet 6.0 has launched with a significant architectural change. The network has transitioned from random sampling to **consensus-based validation** for RPC endpoints. **Key Changes:** - New validation process aims to improve data integrity across RPC endpoints - Existing node operators from TestNet 5.0 need to migrate - Migration instructions available at [Ghost Chain blog](https://blog.ghostchain.io/launching-casper-testnet-6/#Existing_Full_Nodes_Migrating_to_TestNet_60) **Background:** This follows TestNet 5.0's December launch, which focused on RPC endpoint stability and EVM chain bridge functionality. The consensus-based approach represents a fundamental shift in how the network validates data, moving away from probabilistic sampling toward deterministic agreement among validators.
