Recapping the [update for the previous quarter](https://forum.scrt.network/t/testnet-committee-charter-and-q4-funding-proposal/6579/2), with kind thanks owing to SCRT Labs and all the validators going above and beyond, we ran a tight ship and operated for an extra month, and still have $750 remaining going into the next.

Per request from other stakeholders on testnet, I’ve added the following to the [charter](https://kindly-candytuft-1eb.notion.site/Secret-Network-Testnet-Committee-Charter-Q2-2023-4d83b17f27364d02aeea8539c9636d50);

```auto
# **Testnet relayer backup nodes**

Maintain Axelar/Secret testnet relayer
Run Osmosis testnet node
Run Juno testnet node

```

This will add $600 monthly to the budget.

Thanks to an increase in SCRT, as well as the buffer, we exchanged for $30386 and this again allowed us to run for an additional month.  
Testnet was challenging at times recently, but we’ve met the challenges.  
Currently syncing can take a long time, and you require more memory.

This quarter we look forward to migrating to pulsar-3, which gives dApps a closer copy of mainnet.  
Stakeholders are urged to reach out to @ertemann or myself so you’re kept in the loop and migrate timeously.

Thanks so much for the support.
