Public testnet & nodes
This page lists public network information for developers. Validator setup, bootnodes, and production runbooks live in the EmpoorioChain operator documentation in the repository — not here.
Network status
| Network | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Testnet | Live | Use the endpoints below |
| Mainnet | Planned / inactive | No public mainnet RPC published in README |
Published testnet endpoints
From projects/EmpoorioChain/README.md:
RPC (HTTPS): https://testnet.empooriochain.org
WebSocket: wss://testnet.empooriochain.org
Explorer: https://testnet.explorer.empooriochain.org
Chain name: empoorio-testnet-1Local development defaults
When you run a node on your own machine:
RPC: http://localhost:9933
WebSocket: ws://localhost:9944
Explorer: http://localhost:3000 (if you run the local explorer stack)These are local ports — they are not Empoorio public infrastructure.
Consensus (summary)
Production testnet nodes use Aura + GRANDPA with BEEFY support, per docs/CAPABILITY_STATUS.md.
Experimental consensus research (e.g. HotStuff/Bullshark) is not described as production-ready on this site.
What developers should do
- Connect SDKs and wallets to testnet URLs only.
- Inspect transactions in the public explorer.
- Do not hard-code private IPs, unpublished bootnodes, or validator keys in apps or docs.
- Treat mainnet as unavailable until an official launch announcement with audited releases.
What belongs in operator docs
The following are intentionally out of scope for this marketing site:
- Validator keystore paths and session keys
- Private bootnode peer IDs and internal IPs
- Slashing runbooks and on-call procedures
- Unreleased mainnet genesis parameters
See docs/04_DEPLOYMENT_AND_INFRA/NODE_OPERATOR_GUIDE.md in the EmpoorioChain repository if you operate infrastructure.
