Try a Blacklight-L1 node on testnet.
Practise the full node setup on the Sepolia test network: hold encrypted shares, watch a price condition, and earn test fees when it fires. You stay the owner, the node only ever holds its operator key.
This is the testnet.
- Brand new, in sync with mainnet. It replaces the original testnet launched on 28 August, which is deprecated. If you ran a node there, set up a new one here.
- Free test tokens. Testnet NIL comes from the faucet (the minimum stake is 10 NIL) and, like Sepolia ETH, has no value.
- Stays on testnet. Nodes, stake and rewards here do not carry over to mainnet.
