This should be quite interesting to observe. While mainnet deployment represents the ultimate proving ground for any blockchain network, testnet performance is arguably the closest thing we have to a meaningful stress test beforehand. It's basically the second-best metric we can use to evaluate a network's readiness.

Testnet data looks good, but the mainnet is the real test... Many projects fail here.

What’s the use of nice testnet data? In the end, the mainnet still has the final say.

Testnet data looks good, but once mainnet goes live, it still underperforms. After seeing this many times, it's clear that without proper incentive alignment, everything remains illusory.

What's the use of looking good on testnet data? Mainnet is the real judgment day... I've been fooled by false prosperity over and over again.

Oh my god, is testnet data really that important? It seems like many projects do a lot of reckless operations during testnet, and then they flop on mainnet...
