Since the start of our project, Cardano Foundation and Antithesis have been busy working on a Proof-of-Concept aimed at evaluating Antithesis's capability to enhance Cardano's testing infrastructure. The results have been promising, with the platform successfully identifying both previously known and new unknown bugs in the cardano-node.

This blog post outlines our journey and findings so far, and sketches out plans for the short and medium term in order to ensure this project delivers the most value for the Cardano community.

Already involved in testing and monitoring the Cardano network infrastructure, the Cardano Foundation has decided to dedicate resources to evaluate if and how Antithesis could increase the reach and level of quality assurance the network needs.

This post introduces the project, its motivations, scope, ambitions, and timeline.
