Developers will lose the saved state of Testnet and Devnet in a Nov. 25 reset of the XRP Ledger’s testing networks, while Mainnet continues to operate normally.
Testnet’s sole server holding a complete history failed, and restoring it would require rebuilding the server environment. The reset will clear records on both networks, including accounts, balances, transactions, settings, offers, automated market makers and escrows.
Developers who rely on saved information will have to recreate their test setups and obtain fresh test XRP (XRP) through the faucet. Operators of xrpld servers connected to either network should clear their databases and restart after the reset.
Network URLs, Network ID and validator settings will remain in place. Testnet’s amendment status will return to the same level as Mainnet, while Devnet will continue to preview proposed and upcoming features.
The project plans to add Testnet storage to lengthen the time between resets, although some data-retention limits will continue. The reset is scheduled for Nov. 25.
