🧪 F3 Testing:

This testing phase is designed to thoroughly test F3 before its full deployment on the mainnet. It involves several stages, from initial testing on testnets to calibration and finally, the mainnet upgrade. Each stage is critical to ensure the smooth transition and optimal functioning of the new system.

➡️ Before Calibration

• [x] Bandwidth Improvements
• [x] Signature Improvements
• [x] Run F3 with both Forest and Lotus
• [x] Change the Lotus-Miner worker key
  • [x] Confirm that the Miner still participates in Fast Finality.
• [x] Confirm we can hot-start F3 after a failed bootstrap.
• [x] Power evolution
• [x] Run Curio in a devnet and confirm that F3 bootstraps

]
}

➡️ Between Calibration and Mainnet Upgrade

• [x] See f3-logs 30 seconds before the activation
• [x] Confirm that F3 activation will not start unless it hits exactly 66% participation
• [x] Confirm we are able to Bootstrap on Calibnet
