Phase 1: Testnet

Phase 1 testnet focuses on the security of the staked BTC.

The Phase 1 Testnet (bbn-test-4) focuses on the security of the staked Bitcoins by only testing the user’s interaction with the BTC signet network. This will be a lock-only network without the Babylon Genesis chain operating, meaning that the only participants of this testnet will be Finality Providers and Bitcoin stakers.

Since there is no PoS chain to store system information. Such information includes:

  • Finality Providers Information which contains additional information about Finality Providers participating in the system such as their monikers, committed commission, and other identifying information. Finality Providers wishing to register more information about themselves to display on the testnet web interfaces, should submit their information there.

Registration is turned off for the current testnet, you can still test the creation and check if everything worked properly with the scripts.

  • System parameters which are versioned parameters denoting what constitutes a valid stake that is accepted by the lock-only staking system. These parameters are timestamped on Bitcoin for easy verification.

  • Integration which contains information on wallet integration on the testnet system and operating a staking provider back-end.

  • Covenant Committee which contains information about the covenant emulation committee.
