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
