According to the official blog post, two chains will be unveiled by the Binance team, which will be branded as:
- New Chapel testnet of Binance Smart Chain designed to substitute Rialto.
- New Ganges testnet of Binance Chain created to substitute Kongo.
The new testnet will be available for access by the community only after it gets successful in clearing the comprehensive testing mechanisms. Once the team is done with all the procedural requirements by July 10, they will inform the users by another announcement. Binance has urged its users to have backup support of all the important data on Rialto testnet as they will lose it after the latter is replaced by the new chains.
