What is the Cardano 'Haskell Shelley Testnet'?

The Cardano Haskell Shelley Testnet was a crucial step in Cardano's transition from the federated Byron era to the decentralized Shelley era. It allowed developers and stake pool operators to test the new Shelley codebase, which was rewritten in Haskell for improved maintainability and formal verification. This testnet played a vital role in ensuring a smooth transition to Shelley on the mainnet.
