Testnets

Live Testnets

Currently, while the Namada mainnet is live and has not reached Phase 5 of the mainnet launch, two public test networks are currently running, housefire and campfire.

Housefire Testnet

This is a mainnet-tracking testnet and the intended primary staging ground for software upgrades and governance proposals. Before Phase 5 of mainnet, it is used to test the proposals to advance between the phases.

Campfire Testnet

A more experimental testnet that is already configured to have full, Phase 5 functionality at genesis. This network will be abandoned once the Namada mainnet and housefire testnet reach Phase 5 functionality.

Instructions to join and use the campfire testnet (opens in a new tab).

Services and infrastructure

The best way to discover infrastructure and services publicly available on the testnets is to consult the files in the namada-ecosystem (opens in a new tab) repo.
