This is the second testnet for the Althea blockchain! Instructions can be found here.
New in this version:
- Fix for incorrectly set missed blocks parameter 100 blocks -> 5000 blocks
- Set Gravity contract address parameter to "" -> "0xFA2f45c5C8AcddFfbA0E5228bDf7E8B8f4fD2E84"
- Set Ethereum chain ID to the Gorli chain ID 0 -> 5
- Fixes for Ethereum encoding issues causing validator set update or batch relaying to temporarily fail.
- Fixes for register delegate keys, when using the key generation option keys would be printed before registering. If registration failed the user could be confused about which keys they should keep. Now keys are only printed after successful registration.
- Single unified binary the new gbt binary replaces the previous set of 5 tools.
- key storage when you run gbt keys register-orchestrator-addresses the generated keys are automatically saved, instructions no longer require manually managing keys. Furthermore it only saves successfully registered keys, reducing a big source of user confusion
- intelligent defaults by making use of many smart default options and key storage you can now run your orchestrator with this one liner gbt -a althea orchestrator -g "0xFA2f45c5C8AcddFfbA0E5228bDf7E8B8f4fD2E84" the -g parameter for the Gravity contract address will be removed via chain parameter in the next release.
- detection for min-fee issues. The orchestrator will now halt and warn the user if they have not specified a high enough fee. Preventing them from being slashed for not submitting signatures
- Fee specification now allows an amount like 1000ufootoken
New in Althea Testnet2:
- Custom prefixes for Althea addresses
- Fixes for creating too many validator sets
- No more legacy RPC requirement
- Support for evidence slashing for bad actors
- Rewards for submiting validator sets
- Advanced pruning of validator sets based on oracle events
- Fixes for oracle security vulnerabilities
- Fixes for MsgCancelSendToEth vulnerabilities
- Many more upstream tweaks and bugfixes
