Hyperspace launched on Jan 16, 2023 and upgraded on Jan 18, 2023.

Meta info about the Hyperspace testnet for Filecoin developers

Overview

The Filecoin Hyperspace testnet is a stable testnet with fewer resets intended for developers' longer-term testing efforts.

As of Jan 16, Hyperspace will support the penultimate FEVM release, and will be upgraded to the the final FEVM release on Feb 2. (List of FEVM releases)
Hyperspace will support 512 MiB, 32 GiB, and 64 GiB sectors with 2 miners auto-accepting new deals from developers.
A comparison of Filecoin's various testnets is available in FIP #544.

Quickstart

Add the Hyperspace testnet to your wallet (e.g. MetaMask).
- Go to https://chainlist.org/chain/3141
- Click on "Connect wallet"
Create a new account in MetaMask to use with Filecoin.
Use https://hyperspace.yoga/#faucet to request funds to your Ethereum address (it will be converted behind the scenes to a Filecoin f4 address)
Follow the transaction in one of the recommended Hyperspace testnet explorers:
- https://hyperspace.filfox.info/en
- https://beryx.zondax.ch (developer oriented explorer, adding new features every day! )
- https://explorer.glif.io/?network=hyperspace (or select Hyperspace from the networks dropdown)
Your account is now funded and can be used in Ethereum tools such as Hardhat, Foundry, Remix, etc.

Faucet: https://hyperspace.filtest.network/#faucet
- The faucet currently emits 5 tFIL per request with a max of 5 requests / wallet (to prevent draining attacks).
- Setting up a miner? You may need more tFIL than this - reach out to us for more or you could try a 2nd or 3rd address.
- You can also provide feedback at https://beryx.zondax.ch/faucet

Hyperspace Storage Providers (miners) auto-accepting storage deals / simulating faults:
- See Support Miners - Hyperspace Docs
MetaMask (HowTo):
- Open MetaMask and add a new network:
  - Name: Filecoin Hyperspace
  - RPC URL: https://api.hyperspace.node.glif.io/rpc/v1
  - ChainID: 3141 (Filecoin - Hyperspace testnet)
  - Currency symbol: tFIL (Test FIL).
- Create a new account in MetaMask to use with Filecoin.
- (OPTIONAL - the faucet accepts 0x style addresses now) Go to https://explorer.glif.io/ethereum/, and select the account to see its f4 address.
- Use the faucet to draw funds to your f4 (0x style addresses are translated automatically to f4's in the backend) or alternatively use lotus send to transfer funds to the f4 address.
- Wait until the transaction process, and verify that the funds appear in MetaMask.
- Create another new account in MetaMask, (optional) obtain its f4 address again.
- Use MetaMask to send funds from your first account to your second account.
- Notes on MM
  - Note that you may need to increase the gas limit manually because there's something strange going on with gas estimation at the moment.
- Note on GLIF:
  - The GLIF explorer seems to have some problems with f4 addresses right now, please refer to the #fil-net-hyperspace-discuss for questions/solutions
