Testnet v2 (Devnet)
Migration to Testnet v2
The Evolution: From Proof of Concept to Development Network
Testnet v1 served its purpose as a rapid proof of concept, successfully demonstrating that the Gorbagana fork was viable and could handle real transaction volume. With over 14 million transactions processed and valuable lessons learned, it's time for the next phase.
Testnet v2: The Development Network
Testnet v2 is now live - a production-ready development environment designed specifically for builders preparing applications for mainnet launch.
Key Improvements in v2
- Enhanced stability for consistent development experiences
- Optimized performance based on v1 learnings
- Developer-focused tooling and better debugging capabilities
- Mainnet-aligned architecture for seamless migration
- Robust infrastructure to support growing ecosystem demand
What This Means for Developers
Testnet v2 is where serious development happens. Unlike v1's experimental nature, v2 provides:
- Stable APIs and consistent behavior
- Reliable uptime for continuous development
- Testing environment that mirrors future mainnet conditions
- Support for complex application development and testing
Migration Timeline
Testnet v1 Decommissioning: Legacy network being retired after successful testing\ Testnet v2 Active: Current development network running as Devnet\ Mainnet Preparation: v2 serves as the final testing ground before mainnet deployment
Getting Started on Testnet v2
All current documentation and tooling points to Testnet v2. New developers should:
- Connect to the current RPC endpoint:
https://rpc.gorbagana.wtf/ - Use Backpack wallet with custom RPC configuration
- Begin building applications with confidence in network stability
- Prepare for eventual mainnet migration
Testnet v2 represents Gorbagana's transition from experimental project to serious blockchain infrastructure.
