In advancement of its mission to return data sovereignty back to the people, RevPop today announces the launch of a layer-1 blockchain in Test Net — the rdPOS (random delegated Proof Of Stake) algorithm has been put into practice in Test Net for the world to see — and of course to test. RevPop Test Net is located at testnet.revolutionpopuli.com. The name of the token is RVP, and the token that is in test net is a dummy token, only for testing purposes.

This is an elegant yet majorly impactful iteration upon dPOS. By randomizing the witnesses, this new algorithm (available open source) takes a tectonic stride towards solving the “tri-lema” by bringing significant decentralization, along with speed and security. This is not just a meaningful milestone, but a critical opportunity for a world-wide community of developers and enthusiasts to see it for themselves, to participate in the testing, AND to provide feedback for improvements and iterations.

The next phase of Test Net will include certain data features, such as creating a blockchain based account, with personal data and content controlled by the user, and being able to permission and share this data with multiple apps as a user sees fit.
