A testnet that ran in the lead-up to the Chang hard fork. On SanchoNet, stake pool operators, DReps, and developers experimented with governance actions, voting mechanisms, and related tooling before CIP-1694 was activated on mainnet on September 1, 2024. With Conway-era governance now live, SanchoNet's role as a pre-launch testbed has largely been retired.
