Test Chain for the Betanet 2024-08-29 Proposal

   
Public RPC endpoints https://rpc.betanet-2024-08-29.teztnets.com
Faucet Betanet-2024-08-29 faucet
Full network name TEZOS_BETANET_2024-08-29T16:00:00Z
Tezos docker build tezos/tezos:master_8e411109_20240828164016
Activated on 2024-08-29T16:00:00Z

Install the software

⚠️ If you already have an existing Tezos installation, do not forget to backup and delete your ~/.tezos-node and ~/.tezos-client.

Alternative: Use docker

To join Betanet-2024-08-29 with docker, open a shell in the container:

docker run -it --entrypoint=/bin/sh tezos/tezos:master_8e411109_20240828164016

Alternative: Build the software

⚠️ If this is your first time installing Tezos, you may need to install a few dependencies.

cd
git clone git@gitlab.com:tezos/tezos.git
cd tezos
git checkout 8e411109
opam init # if this is your first time using OPAM
make build-deps
eval $(opam env)
make
export PATH=$HOME/tezos:$PATH

Join the Betanet-2024-08-29 network

Run the following commands:

octez-node config init --network https://teztnets.com/betanet-2024-08-29

octez-node run --rpc-addr 127.0.0.1:8732

Bake on the Betanet-2024-08-29 network

To improve reliability of the chain, you can take part in the consensus by becoming a baker. In that case, you will need some test tokens from the faucet.

If you are not a bootstrap baker, you need to register your key as a delegate using your alias or pkh. For instance:

octez-client register key mykey as delegate

You may now launch the baker process.

octez-baker-beta run with local node ~/.tezos-node mykey --liquidity-baking-toggle-vote pass

You may run the accuser as well:

octez-accuser-beta run

Note that you need a minimum amount of tez to get baking rights. If you are not a bootstrap baker, it will take you several cycles to start baking.

💡 Now that you are baking, you are responsible for the network health. Please ensure that the baking processes will keep running in the background. You may want to use screen, tmux, nohup or systemd. Also make sure that the baking processes will restart when your machine restarts.
