The Panvala development team has released the Rinkeby Alpha MVP which can be downloaded by app.panvala.com. This is the “first publicly usable build of Panvala” that has been launched to “demonstrate” the core functionalities of the system, encourage developers to contribute open-source code to the project, and obtain feedback from end-users. Rinkeby has been built by ConsenSys, a Brooklyn, New York-based Ethereum-related development studio, and Panvala’s role in the project is to “facilitate the funding” of the work being done to ensure the growth and adoption of the Ethereum network.
