> **Visual Note:** Aptos proposal AIP-147 banner reading "Disposable by Design," outlining a draft policy for periodic Testnet resets (no more than once every 6 months, with 30 days' notice) to manage the network's growing storage footprint without affecting Mainnet or Devnet.  

> 
> "Testnet has processed over 10 billion transactions, and its storage footprint grows with them.

AIP-147 — in draft and open for review — would introduce periodic Testnet resets: as needed, no more than once every 6 months, with a month's notice.

No effect on Mainnet or Devnet."

> **Visual Note:** The image is a dark-themed graphic from Aptos Labs featuring bold white text "FRESH GENESIS" with the subtitle "Testnet, Bounded," alongside the header "AIP-147" and date "August 2026," visually promoting the proposed Aptos Improvement Protocol to periodically restart the Testnet. It illustrates the initiative described in the post to reset the testnet's state—currently bloating to ~30 TB on archival nodes and 70+ TB on the indexer—through a bounded, scheduled fresh genesis process.  

> 
> "Testnet state grows without a ceiling.

Currently: ~30 TB on archival nodes, 70+ TB on the indexer, and climbing.

AIP-147 (Draft, in review) proposes resetting Testnet to a fresh genesis on an as-needed basis — no more than once every 6 months, with ≥1 month notice."

The unlock is bigger.

Spot changes what traders can do on Decibel:

→ trade spot alongside perps
→ hedge exposure
→ use eligible spot assets as collateral
→ bring supported assets in from where they already sit
→ earn AMPs through spot activity"
