Chiado (Testnet)

Overview
Purpose
- Chiado is a Gnosis testnet that was launched in October 2022
- Chiado's primary purpose is to be a long-lived testnet with tooling for developers
- Chiado's secondary purpose was to test "The Merge", Gnosis' transition from Proof-of-Authority to the Beacon Chain.
- Chiado is named after the Chiado metro station in Lisbon, Portugal.
Validators
- Chiado is optimized for testnet stability for developers, and has a semi-permissioned validator set similar to Ethereum's Sepolia testnet
- Chiado is not intended for broad public validator participation, as frequent cycling of validators affect Testnet stability and make it unreliable for developers (e.g. Ethereum's Prater testnet)
- Chiado validators are run by core contributor teams at Nethermind, Gateway and Gnosis (and possibly more in the future)
- 6,000 validator keys were defined in the genesis of Chiado Beacon Chain for Gateway, Nethermind and Gnosis to run as validators
Public Participation
- Community members can still run a full node and go through the Chiado merge as it happens
- 1,000 Testnet GNO on Chiado may be available in the future for community public validator participation
- Community participation will be limited to 14% of the Chiado Network to ensure network stability
- 1 Testnet GNO is required to run a validator, similar to Gnosis mainnet
- Requests for Chiado participation keys can be made in the #chiado-testnet channel in Discord
How to Participate
- Running a Chiado node with Nethermind Sedge
- (Here by Dragons): If you can get your hands on Testnet GNO on Chiado, you will need to interact with the deposit contract programmatically, or deploy your own Deposit UI with the updated config files
