Görli Testnet

The --goerli cross-client proof-of-authority testnet configuration.

• Website: https://goerli.net
• Matrix: #goerli_chat:gitter.im (bridged to gitter.im/goerli/chat)

Goerli Testnet is the first proof-of-authority cross-client testnet, synching Geth, Nethermind, Hyperledger Besu, and others. This testnet is a community-based project and completely open-source. It was born in September 2018 during ETHBerlin and has been growing in contributors ever since.

Goerli testnet will be merged with the Prater proof-of-stake beacon chain. This will mark the end of the permissioned proof-of-authority phase and everyone will be able to run a validator for Goerli.

Run geth --goerli or besu --network=goerli to sync the testnet. The Chain ID is 5. Native integrations are available for MetaMask, Infura, Alchemy, etc.
