The testnet has now been restarted and optimized for the nodes and chain ✅️

The bot is now also back online for the faucet at @GoliathFaucetBot

The Goliath testnet stress test was insightful ✅️

We are working to increase capacity and restarting the main RPC and validator nodes.

Blocks will be produced 🔜

The blockchain network is currently under upgrade planning and will be restarted in the coming days. We will provide advance notice of the exact schedule. Please note that the blockchain state will not be preserved during this testnet upgrade.

The Goliath testnet will be updated and restarted on Sunday the 2nd of November at 22:00 GMT.

The Goliath testnet is now under maintenance. Users may experience interruptions.

We will update the community when maintenance is completed.

On the 8th of November (Sat) between 12:00–14:00 GMT, Goliath will be undergoing maintenance. Please note that the JSON-RPC relay server will be undergoing a network configuration upgrade and some services may be temporarily unavailable.

The Goliath infrastructure is now stable and maintenance has been completed successfully. Internal upgrades are ongoing with an upcoming deployment of USDT, ETH, and BTC support on-chain.

The team will also be exploring other products to demonstrate Goliaths usability and enhance user experience.

Goliath based testnet DeX 🔜

On the 16th of November (Sun) between 22:00-00:00 GMT, Goliath will be upgraded to a multi-node Kubernetes cluster, which will include reliable mirror nodes and stable JSON-RPC relays.

This upgrade will enhance the reliability of wallets and explorers, the stable speed of the network under high load, provide faster RPC responses, improve compatibility with wallets like MetaMask and developer-focused APIs, and create a stronger foundation for features such as decentralized exchanges and stablecoin payments.

Once this upgrade is complete, all maintenance and updates will be performed with zero downtime.

The upgrade has now been completed and the network has been upgraded to the final infrastructure. The Goliath faucet will continue to work in the new environment.

In the event of issues wth existing testnet wallets, please remove and readd the Goliath network. Alternatively the nonce settings can be cleared by navigating in MetaMask to Settings -> Advanced -> Clear activity and tab data.

The explorer is expected to have fully synchronized the chain within the next 12 hour.

Goliath is currently performing system stress tests.

As a result of these tests, service interruptions could occur over the next 2 hours.

Slingshot is now live on the Goliath Testnet ✅ Get started at https://slingshot.goliath.net and swap USDC, WXCN, and $XCN. Devs can deploy their own tokens, create pairs, and add liquidity.

The Goliath testnet faucet can be located at @GoliathFaucetBot

We’re pleased to share several updates to enhance the user experience across the Goliath ecosystem:

Slingshot Improvements: Users can now swap XCN directly into any token without the need for prior wrapping. The conversion is handled automatically and seamlessly during the swap, both ways.

Goliath Asset Expansion: BTC and ETH tokens have been deployed and added to the Goliath asset list, and they are now available within Slingshot.

Updated Faucet Bot: The faucet now supports requests for test BTC, ETH, USDC, and XCN.

In Progress: We are actively developing a bridge to and from the Ethereum Sepolia Testnet, which will support native USDC, ETH, WBTC, and XCN.

Thank you for your continued support as we work to improve the ecosystem.

The bridge between the Ethereum Sepolia testnet and Goliath testnet is now live and can be accessed at https://slingshot.goliath.net/#/bridge

Currently only ETH on Sepolia is supported. Sepolia to Goliath has no limits on bridging, Goliath to Sepolia is currently limited to 0.05 ETH.

The @Onyx team has topped up the bridge with Sepolia ETH and participants can also obtain their own ETH on Sepolia via third party faucets ✅

The Goliath testnet is currently undergoing maintenance which includes infrastructure upgrades.

The estimated time for completion of this maintenance is within the next 24 hours.
