Arabica devnet ​

arabica-devnet

Arabica devnet is a new testnet from Celestia Labs that is focused exclusively on providing developers with enhanced performance and the latest upgrades for testing their rollups and applications.

Arabica does not focus on validator or consensus-level testing, rather, that is what Mocha testnet is used for. If you are a validator, we recommend testing your validator operations on the Mocha testnet.

With Arabica having the latest updates from all Celestia's products deployed on it, it can be subject to many changes. Therefore, as a fair warning, Arabica can break unexpectedly but given it will be continuously updated, it is a useful way to keep testing the latest changes in the software.

Developers can still deploy on Mocha testnet their sovereign rollups if they chose to do so, it just will always lag behind Arabica devnet until Mocha undergoes Hardfork Upgrades in coordination with Validators.

Below is a list of RPC endpoints you can use to connect to Arabica devnet:

Bridge, full, and light nodes ​

  • consensus-validator.celestia-arabica-10.com
  • validator.consensus.celestia-arabica-10.com
  • consensus-full.celestia-arabica-10.com

Full and light nodes ONLY ​

These RPC endpoints do not allow you to download full blocks from them. We advise that if you are running a bridge node, that you also run a local full consensus node in order to download full blocks from it.

  • rpc.consensus.celestia-arabica-10.com
  • rpc-2.consensus.celestia-arabica-10.com

API endpoints ​

The API endpoint is to allow users to interact with the REST API in Cosmos SDK which is implemented using gRPC-gateway, which exposes gRPC endpoints as REST endpoints. This allows for communication with the node using REST calls, which can be useful if the client does not support gRPC or HTTP2. The default port is 1317.

gRPC endpoints ​

The gRPC endpoint is to allow users to interact with a Celestia Node using gRPC, a modern open-source and high-performance RPC framework. The default port is 9090. In the Cosmos SDK, gRPC is used to define state queries and broadcast transactions.

  • grpc.consensus.celestia-arabica-10.com:443
  • grpc-2.consensus.celestia-arabica-10.com:443
  • validator.consensus.celestia-arabica-10.com:9090
  • consensus-validator.celestia-arabica-10.com:9090
