Charles Hoskinson, the project’s founder, announced plans for a new testnet filled with thousands of artificial intelligence agents. The goal? Push the network’s capabilities to the edge by simulating ultra-fast, high-volume trading environments.
Dubbed “Face Melting Net” (FMN), the initiative is part of Cardano’s Leios Research roadmap. Hoskinson invited decentralized apps (DApps) to deploy on the testnet, which is designed to operate the protocol at its maximum throughput.
This experimental network will act as a stress test for Cardano’s latest upgrades, assessing scalability, security, and raw speed. Beyond performance trials, it also opens the door for developers to explore how AI might power next-generation DeFi services.
