Dear community,

We’re excited to announce that the Gitopia Testnet is now live for the community. In the coming weeks, we will launch subsequent versions of our Testnet, providing enhanced features and additional collaborative workflows to the developers.

Go to https://testnet.gitopia.com/ to try out our Testnet App!

Currently, developers would be able to perform the following activities on the Testnet

  • Create wallets to store their code on Gitopia Blockchain
  • Create new repositories on Gitopia blockchain
  • Create issues to keep track of tasks, enhancements, and bugs for your projects.
  • Create organizations
  • Gitopia explorer to view all the transactions on the blockchain
  • Claim free LORE to get Testnet tokens for performing actions on Gitopia Testnet

To get more information on how to get started visit our docs -> https://docs.gitopia.com/

Note:

1. The product is in beta. Any changes you make will not persist and may reset during the subsequent versions of the Testnet

2. All code hosted on Gitopia blockchain will be public and visible to all

Upon launch of Gitopia Mainnet, developers can take benefit of the following features planned in our roadmap:

  • Permanent storage: By leveraging blockchain technology, Gitopia provides its users with permanent storage for their git repositories
  • Decentralized: Gitopia will have a decentralized network of validators and stakers to govern and secure the platform. There will be no central authority in Gitopia
  • Governance: In Gitopia, all the platform-related decisions will be taken with the community’s involvement transparently. They can vote on proposals and help shape the future of Gitopia
  • Censorship Resistant: There is no central authority that can take down any repository on Gitopia. Instead, the community decides the content policies and is responsible for platform moderation
  • No Single Point of Failure: There will be no disruption of service in Gitopia due to the usage of a decentralized network. The decentralized network of Gitopia will provide high availability and a stable network
  • Secure: The repositories on Gitopia will be secured by public-key cryptography and thus resistant to unauthorized usage and hacking
  • Transparent: The source code of Gitopia will be open source, and hence its workflows are out in the open for other developers to inspect
  • Users will be stakeholders of Gitopia and will get incentivized when the Gitopia platform grows
  • Open-source incentivization: Open-source incentivization will be integrated into the Gitopia workflow. It will be designed to motivate open-source developers to contribute to open-source projects actively
  • Interoperable: Gitopia will be integrated with the Cosmos IBC layer (Inter-Blockchain Communication) to establish interoperability between Gitopia’s application layer and various other blockchains that are interoperable with the Cosmos IBC
