The Baklava Testnet is a non-production Testnet for the Validator community.

It serves several purposes:

  • Operational excellence: Build familiarity with the processes used on Mainnet, and to verify the security and stability of your infrastructure with the new software.
  • Detecting vulnerabilities: Discover bugs in new software releases before they reach Mainnet.
  • Testing ground: Experiment with new infrastructure configurations in a low-risk environment.
warning

The Baklava Testnet is designed for testing and experimentation by developers. Its tokens hold no real world economic value. The testnet software will be upgraded and the entirety of its data reset on a regular basis. This will erase your accounts, their balance and your transaction history. The testnet software will be upgraded on a regular basis. You may encounter bugs and limitations with the software and documentation.
