Testnet
Introduction
Carbon testnets allow application developers to test and develop their applications without incurring any real-world cost. It also provides operators intending to run a validator with a risk-free environment to practice installing and running their nodes.
There are several active testnets that run concurrently. The primary Carbon testnet (carbon-testnet-42069
) should be used for most purposes.
Please note that testnets may be reset or deprecated periodically.
Setting Up
Setting up a new node to join a Carbon testnet is quick and easy. The following GitHub repository provides a detailed explanation on how to get started:
Getting Testnet Tokens
Before you can begin developing on Carbon, you'll need to have some testnet Carbon ($SWTH) tokens.
You can obtain them from the faucet here.
Step 1: Click on the default POST /
section to expand it:
Step 2: Once expanded click on the "Try it out" button.
Step 3: In the Edit Value section of the body
field, change both the address
and coins
parameter of the request to your tswth
address and required token (max 10,000 SWTH 1000000000000swth
).
Example:
{ "address": "tswth164wzv8ug9g09jhsqhwy9gm04cwplhd6swk3kdv", "coins": [ "10000000000swth" ] }
Step 4: Hit the Execute button.
You should receive testnet tokens at your address momentarily!
If you encounter any issues, reach out to the Carbon devs on Discord or Telegram.
