# Development and Operation THXNET. follows structured development and operational protocols to ensure platform stability, security, and continuous improvement. This section outlines our repository management, release cycles, and operational infrastructure. #### Code Repository Management All THXNET. open source software is maintained in our public repository at , providing transparency and enabling community participation in our development ecosystem. #### Release Management Framework THXNET. implements a dual-channel release strategy for blockchain node-host and runtime deployments across both Rootchain and Leafchain environments: **Testnet Environment** The Testnet environment serves as our primary validation platform with the following operational parameters: * Regular release cycles occur every 4-8 weeks * All new runtime features undergo comprehensive Testnet deployment and evaluation before Mainnet implementation * Security patches with Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) ratings below 7 are systematically deployed to Testnet for validation before Mainnet integration * The standard development progression maintains an approximate 8-week version differential between Testnet and Mainnet environments **Mainnet Environment** The Mainnet environment represents our production infrastructure with these operational protocols: * Release scheduling aligns with successful Testnet validation milestones * Critical security patches (CVSS rating ≥ 7) receive expedited deployment across both environments * For both Testnet and Mainnet environments, high-severity security updates are implemented immediately upon verification #### Governance Transition Currently, runtime upgrades for Rootchains are executed under administrative (sudo) privileges. THXNET. has established a governance transition roadmap that includes the scheduled removal of the sudo pallet from both Testnet and Mainnet Rootchain implementations in our beta release, targeted for Q2 2026. This transition marks an important milestone toward full decentralization of the platform's governance structure. #### Network Infrastructure Access THXNET. provides comprehensive access to network monitoring and management through the following interfaces: **Control Panel Access:** * Testnet Rootchain: * Mainnet Rootchain: **Blockchain Explorer Access:** * Testnet Environment: * Mainnet Environment: These interfaces provide stakeholders with transparent visibility into network operations and blockchain state. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
