Goerli

Goerli is an Ethereum test network that allows for blockchain development testing before deployment on Mainnet, the main Ethereum network. The test network was established in March 2019 with Proof-of-Authority. It used to use the Clique consensus mechanism and was originally proposed by Chainsafe and Afri Schoedon. Goerli has successfully transitioned to Proof-of-Stake following the network’s total block difficulty having crossed 10,079,000 on August 10th, 2022.

MEV-Boost

We support mev-boost on goerli by default, in case you want to remove it, run sedge generate full-node using the --no-mev-boost flag, for example:

sedge generate full-node --network goerli --no-mev-boost=true

Generating a Full Node

To generate a setup of a full node (without a validator node) with random clients, you only need to add the --no-validator to sedge generate full-node. For example:

sedge generate full-node --no-validator --network=goerli

Generating a Full Node with a Validator

To generate a setup of a validator with random clients, you need to omit the --no-validator flag. For example:

sedge generate full-node --network=goerli

Create keystore for validator

To create a keystore for a validator, you need to run the following command:

sedge keys --network goerli

Running your setup

Once you have generated your setup, you can run it with the following command:

sedge run
