Hey @everyone
We know that everyone has been excitedly awaiting the announcement and rollout of Stage 2. Well, we have good news for you. Since Stage 2 is going to be the segment where we would encourage validators to attack the system and find bugs, but before venturing into that it is ideal that everyone in the community should learn more about how Matic works, what are the core components, how do Heimdall and Bor work together, and so on.
The reason this is important is that in order to perform attacks Correctly you would need to know how all of the moving parts work together and individually.
For the past week, we have been preparing the documentation for Stage 2 and we’re glad to announce that we are finally ready to share it with you.
