Fluid Testnet Public Node (Hosted for Community Testing)

[0xVida]

Description:
Deploy and maintain a public Fluid node on Testnet for the community to use during development.

Requirements and Context:
Requiring every developer to run their own Fluid node during development is a huge barrier to adoption. A shared Testnet node removes this friction.

Acceptance Criteria:

• Public endpoint: https://testnet.fluid.dev
• Rate-limited free tier: 100 bumps/day per API key
• Free API key issued via the developer portal
• Status page showing uptime

Deliverables:

• Implementation of the above criteria
• Tests or proof of correct behaviour

NOTE: This issue will NOT be reviewed or approved without evidence (screenshot, log, or test output) demonstrating the feature works as described.

Suggested Execution:

1. Deploy the Fluid stack to a cloud provider (Railway, Render, or AWS)
2. Configure rate limits appropriate for the free tier
3. Link from the developer portal and README

Guidelines:

• Follow the existing project coding conventions
• All new environment variables must be documented in .env.example
• Phase: Phase 15: Community
