Onbloc is happy to participate in the multinode testnet initiative.

From my understanding, the goal of the multinode testnet will be to experiment with multinode in a dedicated testnet so that we can test, improve and stabilize the initial concept of multinode and, ultimately, implement it in a future testnet as well as in the mainnet.

I think the visible TODOs for now are:

1. Define how we want to implement multinote in Gno (#871, #889)
2. Fork testnet4 and implement the multinode feature (Maybe with the name of test4-m?)
3. Share details of how to participate in the multinode testnet here
4. Onboard external participants for the experiment & Lots of tests
5. Provide feedback & improve

We'll also create a test4-m dedicated Gnoscan to help with this initiative.

Plus, it would be necessary to fix the current unpredictable block generation time and add the subscribe function to the existing websocket (Jae's comment on #863) for teams/individuals that want to operate an indexer.
