Need testnet Ether? Check out these faucets.
If you have the MetaMask browser extension installed you can also try the MetaMask faucets. Change to a test network by clicking Main Ethereum Network and select from Ropsten, Kovan, Rinkeby or Goerli.
Need to wrap testnet Ether? Having followed the steps in the previous section, use the MetaMask extension and select your test network. Then you can wrap Ether into WETH using 0x protocol, this currently works on Kovan and Ropsten. You can also wrap Ether using Etherscan on Goerli and Ropsten: click 'Connect to Web3' and accept via MetaMask extension, on Etherscan scroll down to '5. deposit', enter the value of testnet Ether you'd like to wrap in 'payableAmount' and click write+confirm.
If your wrapped Ether isn't showing up in MetaMask, don't worry! Click 'Watch in Wallet' here:
🏃 Need testnet ERC20 tokens quick?! Try bokkypoobah's ERC20 token faucet. For example, send a 0 value transaction from your account to the contract address on your preferred network and you'll get 1,000 XEENUS tokens on Goerli, Ropsten, Kovan and Rinkeby.
Details on Raiden bounties at ongoing hackathons can be found here.
Currently no hackathon ongoing.
System Requirements and Installation Guide. If possible, you should always try new things on Ethereum on testnet before mainnet so you can get a hang of it, this includes trying Raiden Network.
Please also note that the current mainnet releases are an alpha deployment of the Raiden Network on the Ethereum mainnet. Hence, deposit limits, as well as a deprecation switch have been put into place. It is absolutely crucial to read the requirements for safe usage carefully before using the software on mainnet.
🏃Need to try a Raiden node quick on testnet?! Option 1: Use Raiden Wizard to get a testnet node started in just a couple of minutes.
Option 2: Follow the workshop. If you happen to be on Windows, this community video includes the added steps with using WSL (if you get stuck). You can skip signing up for Infura on Goerli by adding --eth-rpc-endpoint https://rpc.slock.it/goerli. So replacement node start command (from this) becomes:
./raiden-v0.100.3-linux-x86_64 --keystore-path keystore --network-id goerli --gas-price fast --environment-type development --eth-rpc-endpoint https://rpc.slock.it/goerli
Your node is now running on Goerli testnet. Open your web browser and put 127.0.0.1:5001 to open the WebUI.
Follow the Raiden Red Eyes Mainnet Tutorial. 🏃Need to try Raiden quick on mainnet?! If you've already completed the workshop steps above, Infura will work great! You can always switch to using your own Eth Node later on. To get an Infura key you'll need to:
- Visit infura.io and click to sign up for a new account.
- Then, choose to create a new project.
- Now, view your project and you'll find the Project ID under the KEYS section ("<MAINNET_INFURA_KEY>" used below).
- Start your node with:
./raiden-v0.100.3-linux-x86_64 --keystore-path keystore --eth-rpc-endpoint eth-rpc-endpoint https://mainnet.infura.io/v3/<MAINNET_INFURA_KEY>
A great permanent mainnet option is to use Raiden with DAppNode! It will take some extra time to setup and sync for the first time if you don't have an Eth Node synced already.
🏃Need multiple accounts of your own to test with?! Use Geth geth account new to create them quickly. They will be stored in ~/.ethereum/keystore/. List them with geth account list (alternatively, if you don't have Geth, rerun the Workshop onboarder). You can open as many nodes as you want on your local machine by giving different port numbers when starting Raiden. For example --api-address http://127.0.0.1:5002 starts a Raiden node on port 5002 instead of the default 5001.
