Spec 122: formal 72-hour four-validator validation has started
The Helixium public testnet began a formal 72-hour observation on 20 October 2026 at 22:21:51 Türkiye time (19:21:51 UTC). The frozen baseline started at finalized block 3,170,912 and Aura slot 1,792,524,109. All four validators entered the window on the same Spec 122 binary, with three remote peers each, synchronization complete, and zero service restarts.
During the window, one real 1 HLX wallet-to-wallet transfer is submitted each hour and must complete A–T–C–G settlement and finality with exact balance, fee, and issuance reconciliation. Every validator also records hash-chained snapshots at 10-second intervals covering finalized-chain progress, peer and synchronization health, service state, restart counters, clock status, TCP socket statistics, and host/process pressure and I/O. Slot, network, and import-latency counters share the same reset baseline. The scheduled window ends on 23 October 2026 at 22:21:51 Türkiye time.
This is an observation in progress, not a completed performance claim. A passing result requires complete measurement integrity and zero missing finalized slots. The final report will disclose p95, p99 and maximum import latency, cumulative TCP retransmission observations, outliers, limitations, and risk factors.
