Ephemery

Background

Ephemery is a specialized Ethereum testnet designed to facilitate rapid, short-term testing for Ethereum developers and staking infrastructure teams. Ephemery resets to its genesis state every 28 days, ensuring a clean environment free from state bloat and outdated contracts. To learn more about Ephemery visit ephemery.dev.

The infrastructure team has been running Genesis validators on Ephemery since December 2024 alongside archive nodes to support the network. The infrastructure team also maintains a checkpoint sync provider available at beaconstate-ephemery.chainsafe.dev

List of services

As Ephemery is very lightweight, we run only archive nodes at the moment with validators attached to two of the archive nodes with 2000 keys apiece

Archive nodes' hosts can be found here
