Description

The Mocha testnet page still says "The mocha-5 DA network has not started yet; it is planned to launch during the week of August 24, 2026", and that the public QuickNode endpoint "currently still serves mocha-4".

On 2026-09-02 I received a mocha-5 ExtendedHeader with a real DataAvailabilityHeader from `public-endpoint.celestia-mocha.quiknode.pro` at height 403234, the same height as the consensus head. Both notes are just stale, but the first one reads to a newcomer as "don't bother yet".

Research direction

Open the Mocha testnet page at docs.celestia.org/operate/networks/mocha-testnet/ and locate the notes about mocha-5's launch timing and the QuickNode endpoint serving mocha-4. Update both statements to reflect the observed mocha-5 endpoint and network status, then review the rendered page to confirm neither stale warning remains.
