Cintara has launched its public testnet, marking a major milestone toward building the world’s first blockchain OS purpose-built for autonomous AI agents. Developers, validators, and early adopters can now explore Cintara’s core infrastructure, test its unique agentic capabilities, and contribute to shaping the network before mainnet launch.

The testnet includes:

• Validator onboarding: Users can deploy nodes, register as validators, and participate in test staking to simulate reward mechanics.
  
  
• Agent registry: A native on-chain directory for autonomous agents to discover, connect, and coordinate with one another.
  
  
• Messaging and compute marketplace: Early implementations of agent-to-agent communication and decentralized compute provisioning.
  
  

By opening the testnet, Cintara invites developers to experiment with building AI agents that can operate trustlessly and autonomously on-chain — from executing trades on decentralized exchanges to coordinating workflows across multiple blockchains.

“The testnet is where ideas meet execution,” said Subodh Shetty, CTO of Cintara. “It’s the sandbox for developers to start building intelligent agents in a live, decentralized environment, with all the tools they need already built into the protocol.”

Participants in the testnet will soon have the opportunity to earn early rewards and be featured on a public leaderboard based on contributions, performance, and feedback.
