Testnet
Ellaism has a Proof of Authority (PoA) testnet called “Shikinseki”.
To connect to the testnet,
download
this file and run:
parity --chain shikinseki.json
We choose PoA consensus algorithm because it provides a stable experience. It is known that PoW testnets can be unstable due to lack of nodes. And please note that the testnet might be restarted at any time with all states cleared. Don’t use it to store anything important. Additional facilities you can use on the testnet:
- Explorer: https://explorer.testnet.ellaism.org
- JSONRPC Endpoint: https://jsonrpc.testnet.ellaism.org
Shikinseki Faucet

You will receive 10 testnet tokens each time issuing this command.
