Currently, the pre-mainnet is a copy of the future operational net that allows to access the functionality and test it before the launch.

The pre-mainnet includes seven active nodes and 14 nodes in process with eight nodes out of technical control of the team. 

Notably, the test network has registered over 51,000 transactions since its launch in September. Currenlty there are 34 various projects, including ten cryptocurrency wallets and eleven block explorers created in Libra's testnet.

"The Libra Association intends to deploy 100 nodes on the mainnet, representing a mix of on-premises and cloud-hosted infrastructure. All the work we are doing now on pre-mainnet supports this goal of greater resiliency on the network through a wider diversity of infrastructure,"the team added.

The roadmap with the key milestones of the project was published in October.
