According to official sources, the public chain Artela announced the launch of its testnet and the start of its validator plan today.

The core innovation of Artela blockchain is the "EVM+Aspect" execution layer network, which allows developers to build native extensions based on WASM and work with EVM to support more functional and modular decentralized applications. Artela also plans to support parallel execution of EVM.

Currently, developers in various fields such as DeFi, full-chain games, inscriptions, and on-chain security have built applications based on the Artela technology architecture. Artela will continue to support developer innovation and build a new generation of on-chain applications through a series of user and developer operations.

In July last year, Artela announced the completion of a $6 million seed round of financing with Shima Capital as the lead investor and participation from A&T Capital, Big Brain Holdings, SevenX Ventures, Dispersion Capital, and Amino Capital.
