Nomos Data Availability Testing	2025q1 qa nomos	false	Implement data availability test plans for the Nomos project at the cluster level.

vac:qa:nomos:2025q1-da-testing

Description

Implement data availability test plans for the Nomos project at the cluster level.

Alignment with VAC Narratives:

• By developing and constantly updating tests for data availability, VAC QA ensures that the feature's implementation aligns with high standards.
• This continuous testing helps identify any spec-related issues early, contributing to the RFC culture and improving spec quality.
• The effort also supports IFT's strategic objective of scaling the project’s capacity and ensuring a reliable system for future community involvement.
