Available Openos Clusters

Openos maintains several different clusters with different purposes.

Before you begin make sure you have first installed the Openos command line tools

Explorers:

Devnet​

  • Devnet serves as a playground for anyone who wants to take Openos for a test drive, as a user, token holder, app developer, or validator.
  • Application developers should target Devnet.
  • Potential validators should first target Devnet.
  • Key differences between Devnet and Mainnet Beta:
    • Devnet tokens are not real
    • Devnet includes a token faucet for airdrops for application testing
    • Devnet may be subject to ledger resets
    • Devnet typically runs the same software release branch version as Mainnet Beta, but may run a newer minor release version than Mainnet Beta.
  • Gossip entrypoint for Devnet: entrypoint.devnet.openverse.network/:8001
  • Metrics environment variable for Devnet:
export BTGANA_METRICS_CONFIG="host=https://metrics.openverse.network/:8086,db=devnet,u=scratch_writer,p=topsecret"
  • RPC URL for Devnet: https://api.devnet.openverse.network/
Example openos command-line configuration​
openos config set --url https://api.devnet.openverse.network/
Example openos-validator command-line​
$ openos-validator \
    --identity validator-keypair.json \
    --vote-account vote-account-keypair.json \
    --only-known-rpc \
    --ledger ledger \
    --rpc-port 8899 \
    --dynamic-port-range 8000-8020 \
    --entrypoint api.devnet.openverse.network/:8001 \
    --wal-recovery-mode skip_any_corrupted_record \
    --limit-ledger-size

The --known-validators are operated by Openos Labs

Testnet​

  • Testnet is where the Openos core contributors stress test recent release features on a live cluster, particularly focused on network performance, stability and validator behavior.
  • Testnet tokens are not real
  • Testnet may be subject to ledger resets.
  • Testnet includes a token faucet for airdrops for application testing
  • Testnet typically runs a newer software release branch than both Devnet and Mainnet Beta
  • Gossip entrypoint for Testnet: entrypoint.testnet.openverse.network/:8001
  • Metrics environment variable for Testnet:
export BTGANA_METRICS_CONFIG="host=https://metrics.openverse.network/:8086,db=tds,u=testnet_write,p=c4fa841aa918bf8274e3e2a44d77568d9861b3ea"
  • RPC URL for Testnet: https://api.testnet.openverse.network/
Example openos command-line configuration​
openos config set --url https://api.testnet.openverse.network/
Example openos-validator command-line​
$ openos-validator \
    --identity validator-keypair.json \
    --vote-account vote-account-keypair.json \
    --only-known-rpc \
    --ledger ledger \
    --rpc-port 8899 \
    --dynamic-port-range 8000-8020 \
    --entrypoint entrypoint.testnet.openverse.network/:8001 \
    --wal-recovery-mode skip_any_corrupted_record \
    --limit-ledger-size

Mainnet​

A permissionless, persistent cluster for Openos users, builders, validators and token holders.

  • Tokens that are issued on Mainnet Beta are real BTG
  • Gossip entrypoint for Mainnet Beta: entrypoint.mainnet.openverse.network/:8001
  • Metrics environment variable for Mainnet Beta:
export BTGANA_METRICS_CONFIG="host=https://metrics.openverse.network/:8086,db=mainnet,u=mainnet_write,p=password"
  • RPC URL for Mainnet Beta: https://api.mainnet.openverse.network/
Example openos command-line configuration​
openos config set --url https://api.mainnet.openverse.network/
Example openos-validator command-line​
$ openos-validator \
    --identity ~/validator-keypair.json \
    --vote-account ~/vote-account-keypair.json \
    --only-known-rpc \
    --ledger ledger \
    --rpc-port 8899 \
    --private-rpc \
    --dynamic-port-range 8000-8020 \
    --entrypoint entrypoint.mainnet.openverse.network/:8001 \
    --wal-recovery-mode skip_any_corrupted_record \
    --limit-ledger-size

The above four --known-validators are operated by Openos Labs.
