As you all know, we are almost on the verge of launching the Testnet with support of sharding technology. Draft of the Sharding has already been completed. Within a couple of weeks, I will define the optimal parameters for starting sharding in the testnet, test the operation of dapps and prepare instructions for launch of Sharding. But this is not the main thing.
The main news is that with the launch of sharding, I will integrate Oracles. Oracles are third-party services that provide to smart-contracts, communication abilities with external sources of information, they are, act as a bridge between blockchains and the outside world. Now, Oracles, for example, in Ethereum, are a separate blockchains. And I will integrate them into TERA as a process built-in mining.
Another good news is that the integration of Oracles will not affect the launch schedule of the Testnet.
