# Cosmos Testnets This repo collects the genesis and configuration files for the various Cosmos testnets. It exists so the [Cosmos-SDK](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk) repo does not get bogged down with large genesis files and status updates. # Getting Started To get started with the latest testnet, see the [docs](https://cosmos.network/docs/getting-started/full-node.html). # Testnet Status ## *July 27, 2018, 20:00 EST* - Gaia-7003 - Testnet halted on a Tendermint [regression](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/pull/2076) - [v0.23.1 of the SDK](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/releases/tag/v0.23.1) - Details on `gaia-7003` can be found [here](https://forum.cosmos.network/t/launching-gaia-7003/607) ## *July 26, 2018, 0:00 EST* - Gaia-7002 - [v0.23.0 of the SDK](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/releases/tag/v0.23.0) - [Launch timeline](https://forum.cosmos.network/t/gaia-7002-launch-timeline/581) - [Details on genesis.json](https://forum.cosmos.network/t/building-gaia-7002-genesis-json/589) ## *July 22, 2018, 17:00 EST* - Gaia-7001 consensus failure - Bug in the governance module caused a panic ## *July 17, 2018, 4:00 EST* - New Testnet Gaia-7001 - New testnet with fixes for the genesis file - Increased max validators to 128 ## *July 17, 2018, 3:00 EST* - Gaia-7000 consensus failure - Misconfiguration in the genesis file led to a consensus failure - New genesis file for gaia-7001 will be up soon ## *July 17, 2018, 2:40 EST* - Gaia-7000 is making blocks!

## *June 9, 2018, 14:00 EST* - New Release - Released gaia [v0.18.0](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/releases/tag/v0.18.0) with update for Tendermint [v0.20.0](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/releases/tag/v0.20.0) - Includes bug fix for declaring candidacy from the command line ## *June 8, 2018, 23:30 EST* - Gaia-6001 is making blocks - +2/3 of the voting power is finally online for Gaia-6001 and it is making blocks! - This is a momentous achievement - a successful asynchronous decentralized testnet launch - Congrats everyone! ## *June 8, 2018, 12:00 EST* - New Testnet Gaia-6001 - After some confusion around testnet deployment and a contention testnet hardfork, a new genesis file and network was released for `gaia-6001` ## *June 7, 2018, 9:00 EST* - New Testnet Gaia-6000 - Released a new `genesis.json` file for `gaia-6000` - Initial validators include those that were most active in the gaia-5001 testnet - Join the network via gaia `v0.18.0-rc0` ## *June 5, 2018, 21:00 EST* - New Release - Released gaia [v0.17.5](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/releases/tag/v0.17.5) with update for Tendermint [v0.19.9](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/releases/tag/v0.19.9) - Fixes many bugs! - evidence gossipping - mempool deadlock - WAL panic - memory leak - Please update to this to put a stop to the rampant invalid evidence gossiping :) ## *May 31, 2018, 14:00 EST* - New Release - Released gaia [v0.17.4](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/releases/tag/v0.17.4) with update for Tendermint v0.19.7 - Fixes a WAL bug and some more - Please update to this if you have trouble restarting a node ## *May 31, 2018, 2:00 EST* - Testnet Halt - A validator equivocated last week and Evidence is being rampantly gossipped - Peers that can't process the evidence (either too far behind or too far ahead) are disconnecting from the peers that sent it, causing high peer turn-over - The high peer turn-over may be causing a memory-leak, resulting in some nodes crashing and the testnet halting - We need to fix some issues in the EvidenceReactor to address this and also investigate the possible memory-leak ## *May 29, 2018* - New Release - Released v0.17.3 with update for Tendermint v0.19.6 - Fixes fast-sync bug - Please update to this to sync with the testnet
