This repo collects the genesis and configuration files for the various Cosmos testnets. It exists so the Cosmos-SDK repo does not get bogged down with large genesis files and status updates.

To get started with the latest testnet, see the docs.

• Currently live with 17 validators

• After fixing bugs from gaia-6001, especially issue #1197, we are announcing a new testnet, Gaia-6002
• Gaia-6002 has the same genesis file as Gaia-6001, just with the chain-id updated
• Update from previous testnet here

• Released gaia v0.19.0
• Includes various bug-fixes for staking found on Gaia-6001

• A bug in the design of the staking data model caused a sanity check to fail
• Full writeup here

• Validator unbonding and revocation activity caused a consensus failure
• There is a bug in the staking module that must be fixed
• The team is taking its time to look into this and release a fix following a proper protocol for hotfix upgrades to the testnet
• Please stay tuned!

• Includes bug fix for declaring candidacy from the command line

• +2/3 of the voting power is finally online for Gaia-6001 and it is making blocks!
• This is a momentous achievement - a successful asynchronous decentralized testnet launch
• Congrats everyone!

• After some confusion around testnet deployment and a contention testnet hardfork, a new genesis file and network was released for gaia-6001

• Released a new genesis.json file for gaia-6000
• Initial validators include those that were most active in the gaia-5001 testnet
• Join the network via gaia v0.18.0-rc0

• Released gaia v0.17.5 with update for Tendermint v0.19.9
• Fixes many bugs!
  • evidence gossipping
  • mempool deadlock

• Released gaia v0.17.4 with update for Tendermint v0.19.7
• Fixes a WAL bug and some more
• Please update to this if you have trouble restarting a node

• A validator equivocated last week and Evidence is being rampantly gossipped
• Peers that can't process the evidence (either too far behind or too far ahead) are disconnecting from the peers that sent it, causing high peer turn-over
• The high peer turn-over may be causing a memory-leak, resulting in some nodes crashing and the testnet halting
• We need to fix some issues in the EvidenceReactor to address this and also investigate the possible memory-leak

• Released v0.17.3 with update for Tendermint v0.19.6
• Fixes fast-sync bug
• Please update to this to sync with the testnet
