The milestone marks sustained activity across Lithosphere’s live testnet as developers gain access to faucet claiming, network endpoints, and Web4 infrastructure.
LONDON, UK – August 7, 2026 – Lithosphere, the AI-native Layer 1 blockchain built for Web4 applications and autonomous systems, announced that its Makalu Testnet has surpassed 1.6 million indexed blocks. The milestone reflects sustained block production and explorer indexing across the live test network as Lithosphere continues testing the infrastructure that will support broader network participation, developer deployment, and agent-native onchain activity.
Makalu provides a public environment where developers and users can inspect blocks and transactions, connect to network endpoints, test wallet flows, and validate application behavior before wider deployment. Faucet claiming gives participants access to test assets for transfers, contract interactions, and development workflows, creating a practical path from initial wallet setup to repeatable network testing without requiring production assets.
The testnet milestone also gives Lithosphere a larger operating history for evaluating execution, infrastructure reliability, developer tooling, and network observability. Lithosphere’s architecture combines AI-native execution, privacy-aware identity, decentralized discovery, cross-chain coordination, and LEP100 standards designed for intelligent applications and autonomous agents. Continued Makalu activity gives builders a live environment for putting those components through real network conditions rather than relying only on isolated development environments.
“Crossing 1.6 million indexed blocks is a practical network milestone because it gives us a deeper live environment to test, observe, and improve the infrastructure developers will ultimately depend on,” said J. King Kasr, Chief Scientist at KaJ Labs. “Makalu is where we validate the network under continuous operation while making it easier for builders to claim test assets, connect endpoints, and put agent-native workflows through real onchain conditions.”
As testing expands, Makalu remains the technical proving ground supporting the broader Lithosphere ecosystem. Thanos Wallet provides self-custody and user access, Ignite DEX supports decentralized market infrastructure, and Quantts AI extends intelligent financial tooling across the ecosystem. Lithosphere will continue using Makalu to deepen public testing, developer participation, faucet access, and network readiness as the project advances toward its next major protocol milestones.
