v1.0 eth2 testnets — Toledo and Pyrmont
This week shopper builders led by protolambda launched Toledo nineteen — validator testnet 16k with mainnet configuration v1.0. Though you may synchronize your favourite node with this testnet, you can’t make any validator deposits because of using a modified, permissioned deposit contract. Toledo is for preliminary v1.0 testing and continued developer experimentation.
We intend to launch subsequent week Pyrmont — a 100k validator testnet that mimics mainnet circumstances as intently as potential. As soon as Pyrmont is up and operating and steady, the testnet will probably be open to the neighborhood. Pyrmont can function the final place to check mainnet software program releases and {hardware} setups earlier than mainnet launch.
Since Pyrmont makes use of a mainnet configuration, it’s topic to the identical (gradual) activation ready mechanics that you simply may expertise on the mainnet. Be a superb citizen and solely make one or two deposits via the validator. This may hold queue occasions cheap over the following few weeks and permit for productive testing for all customers.
Pyrmont will probably be supported not less than via eth2 mainnet genesis. From there, we’ll take into account the choices accessible to construct a long-term take a look at community with higher stability and UX properties. This might doubtless contain quicker processing of the queue and a a lot increased minimal quantity to be kicked out.
However till then, get pleasure from Pyrmont!
Mainnet deposits
In case you did not catch it final week, the eth2 mainnet escrow contract is stay together with the mainnet Launch Pad. The principal deposit settlement is out there on the following handle — 0x00000000219ab540356cBB839Cbe05303d7705Fa. I pray triple test this handle earlier than sending funds wherever.
A fast reminder — although MIN_GENESIS_TIME is December 1, 12:00 UTC, there’s a 7-day GENESIS_DELAY. Because of this with the intention to be certain that your deposits are included within the genesis block, you could get them on-chain earlier than November 24 at 12:00 UTC.
For a extra detailed dialogue of how genesis is triggered, see Ben Edgington genesis report.
