Testnet

Constellation provides developers with a full featured testnet to test applications and metagraphs before they're ready for the production environment. The testnet has all of the same features as mainnet and can therefore be used to validate application integrations in a realistic way.

Developing a metagraph

Metagraph developers may use testnet as they're nearing production readiness. For initial development, developing on your own test cluster is recommended. See Deploying to Testnet.

Connecting to Testnet

The following urls can used to access testnet:

• Block Explorer API: https://be-testnet.constellationnetwork.io
• Global L0 API: https://l0-lb-testnet.constellationnetwork.io
• DAG L1 API: https://l1-lb-testnet.constellationnetwork.io

See Available APIs for detailed information on available endpoints.

Testnet Faucet

Constellation hosts a testnet faucet which distributes testnet DAG for testing purposes. This coin has no value and can only be used on the testnet. The faucet provides small amounts of DAG at each request with rate limiting to prevent depletion of its DAG reserves.

The faucet can be accessed at:
