Clash of Nodes Challenges
You may experience performance disruptions on the Goldberg testnet. The chain remains operational. The Avail team is actively resolving the network disruption.

Embark on an exhilarating journey with the Clash of Nodes incentivized testnet, where a series of dynamic challenges await. Engage in rigorous network testing, vie for points, and vie for potential rewards.
