Mocha testnet ​

mocha-testnet

This guide contains the relevant sections for how to connect to Mocha, depending on the type of node you are running. Mocha testnet is designed to help validators test out their infrastructure and node software. Developers are encouraged to deploy their sovereign rollups on Mocha, but we also recommend Arabica devnet for that as it is designed for development purposes.

Mocha is a milestone in Celestia, allowing everyone to test out core functionalities on the network. Read the announcement. Your best approach to participating is to first determine which node you would like to run. Each node's guide will link to the relevant networks, to show you how to connect to them.

You have a list of options on the types of nodes you can run to participate in Mocha:

Consensus:

Data Availability:

Select the type of node you would like to run and follow the instructions on each respective page. Whenever you are asked to select the type of network you want to connect to in those guides, select Mocha to refer to the correct instructions on this page on how to connect to Mocha.

RPC for DA bridge, full, and light nodes ​

Production RPC endpoints ​

These RPC providers are meant to be used in production environments.

WARNING

Do not rely on the free community endpoints listed below for production deployments. Production deployments should rely on service providers with SLAs or your own node.

Community Data availability (DA) RPC endpoints for bridge node sync ​

These RPC endpoints allow bridge nodes to sync blocks from the Celestia network. For users, they will need to provide a –core.ip string from a consensus node’s URL or IP that populates a default RPC port at 26657 to their respective DA node.

Community Data availability (DA) gRPC endpoints for state access ​

These gRPC endpoints for DA nodes provide state access for querying the chain’s state and broadcasting transactions (balances, blobs, etc.) to the Celestia network. For users, they will need to provide a –core.ip string from a consensus node’s URL or IP that populates a default gRPC port at 9090 to their respective DA node.

Bridge nodes

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

Community RPC endpoints ​

The RPC endpoint is to allow users to interact with Celestia's nodes by querying the node's state and broadcasting transactions on the Celestia network. The default port is 26657.

Community 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.

Community 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.
