{Görli,Kotti} Testnet

The --goerli and --kotti cross-client proof-of-authority testnet configurations. Chat on Gitter

There are many Ethereum testnets available for experimenting with smart contracts and deploying decentralised applications before going live on the main Ethereum network. However, there is no testnet available that is both widely usable across all client implementations, and robust enough to guarantee consistent availability and high reliability. This is what Görli tries to be for Ethereum and Kotti for Ethereum Classic. Read more on the motivation in the Testnet Proposal.

Meta data: Görli

See also: Getting started with the Görli Testnet.

Please see goerli.genesis for a genesis file compatible with Hyperledger Besu (formerly Pantheon) or Geth.

Please see goerli.json for a chain specification compatible with Nethermind or Parity Ethereum.

Please see bootnodes.txt if you fail connecting to the network.

Meta data: Kotti (Classic)

The Kotti Classic Testnet configuration and resources moved to its own repository:
