Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) co-founder Vitalik Buterin said he supports the launch of a Kusama (CRYPTO: KSM)-like network for Ethereum to act as a "canary in a coal mine."
What Happened: During the recent ETHDenver conference, Buterin said he would "definitely support" launching a Kusama-like network for the Ethereum ecosystem, referring to a kind of test network with its coins holding real value and where features would be implemented before coming to Ethereum. He said "having something that is like between the testnet and the mainnet that has ... some economic incentives definitely could be valuable."
