-((("segnet")))In 2016, a special-purpose testnet was launched to aid in
-development and testing of Segregated Witness (aka segwit; see
-<<segwit>>). This test blockchain is called +segnet+ and can be joined
-by running a special version (branch) of Bitcoin Core.

-it is no longer necessary to use segnet for testing of segwit features.
 
-In the future it is likely we will see other testnet blockchains that
-are specifically designed to test a single feature or major
-architectural change, like segnet.
