GHOST TestNet 6.0 has reached a significant milestone with 269,969 blocks finalized and continuing to grow. This represents substantial progress from previous milestones of 169,969 blocks on February 18th and 69,969 blocks on February 12th. The network is actively seeking validator node operators to participate in shaping the future of private DeFi infrastructure. Current validators and full node operators can upgrade to boot nodes by following the [official setup guide](https://blog.ghostchain.io/create-custom-boot-node-address/). TestNet 6.0, also known as CASPER, launched on February 3rd with a key architectural change: the system transitioned from random sampling to a consensus-based validation process for improved data integrity across RPC endpoints.
