According to official news, BNB Chain released changes to the BNB Greenfield test network storage policy. As the BNB Greenfield mainnet goes online and provides users with decentralized storage solutions, the Greenfield testnet environment will perform regular cleaning procedures starting from December 1, 2023. This means that inactive buckets and objects stored on the Greenfield testnet will be cleared regularly.
The key changes involved in this change are as follows:
- Regular cleaning of testnet storage: To ensure optimal performance of the Greenfield testnet, a routine cleaning process will be performed. This involves regularly deleting buckets and objects stored on the testnet.
- Bucket life cycle limit: In the future, buckets created on the Greenfield test network with a life cycle exceeding 3 months will no longer support file uploads. After 7 days of this restriction, these buckets and their contents will be permanently deleted.
- Required Action: Officials recommend that all developers carefully manage their buckets and files on the Greenfield testnet. If the bucket is older than three months, take appropriate measures to move or back up the data before the specified date.
- Consider using the Greenfield mainnet for long-term storage: In order to store data with a long life cycle, officials recommend using the Greenfield mainnet. The mainnet provides a stable environment suitable for long-term storage needs of important data.
