ZERO runtime parachain test environment

[5-mark]

User Story

As ZERO NETWORK we want to ensure that our parachain launch is tested with all the features to go live with when securing a slot so we can rely on the fact that a good quality goes live.

Tasks

• dev.node.zero.io --> for the environment delegated (define your own subdomain, if necessary)

• setup a test environment which mirrors the features (same feature set) which are planned to start the parachain with (ZERO RUNTIME)

• governance (council, tech commitee, what else?)

• staking, nomination, delegation etc (for network block rewards; incentive for collators)

• collator topic to be visualised and understood by chain team

• collator election through staking by delegators

• staking payouts

• the test environment should be as near as possible to the future parachain prod environment state

• initial token distribution Token distribution plan #129

• vesting should be simulated and tested

• determine fees and minimum deposits for participating (eg. become validator, apply for council etc)

• infaltion plan

• any burn mechanics?

• era, epoch, context, network role context (link configuration file)

• randomness function (to add contracts)

• locked tokens are available for staking and voting (utility but not possible to transfer/sell)

Additional Information

How to test

1. simulate a parachain launch and token distribution + vesting
2. find 8-10 stakeholders to run collators --> practice joining and leaving (etc) as collator on test env.
