Join the Kaspa Testnet-10 Initiative: Run Your Node Today
What is Kaspa Testnet-10?
After nearly a year of operational success with the Kaspa’s 10BPS network, we’re excited to announce the hardforking of Testnet-10 to support this high-performance environment. With the latest optimizations integrated into our recent release Rusty-Kaspa v0.17.1, we’re pivoting towards enhancing the user experience for all stakeholders. This is where you, the mining pools, exchanges, and integrators, play a pivotal role.
Why Run a Testnet-10 Node?
Running a node on Testnet-10 allows you to ensure your software and integrations are optimized for the new 10BPS setting. We are eager to receive your feedback, both positive and constructive, which will be instrumental in refining the network before mainnet implementation.
Getting Started with Testnet-10
Update Your Software
Ensure your systems are compatible by grabbing the updated message.proto and rpc.proto from the Kaspa repo. These updates are crucial for handling the new mass field in transaction handling which is now required for block template submissions.
Recommended Node Specifications
- An 8-core CPU or better
- 16 GB of RAM
- A 256 GB SSD
- Network bandwidth of at least 5MB
Please note that your high-spec mainnet setup can be a good benchmark for testing. However, for those running below the minimum, we suggest upgrading to meet or exceed these specs for reliable testing.
Running the Testnet-10 Node
Download the latest binary from our releases page and run your node with:
./kaspad --utxoindex --testnet --netsuffix=10 --disable-upnp --rpclisten=0.0.0.0
Adjust --rpclisten to 127.0.0.1 if your software operates on the same machine as the node.
Compiling from Source
For those who prefer to compile from source, set up your environment with these instructions, and then initialize your node like this:
cargo run --bin kaspad --release -- --utxoindex --testnet --netsuffix=10 --disable-upnp --rpclisten=0.0.0.0
Share Your Experience
We’re looking forward to your insights on running Testnet-10 nodes. Share your experiences, successes, and areas needing improvement on our #testnet channel in the Kaspa Discord community.
