The --goerli and --kotti testnet configurations

{Görli|Kotti} Testnet

The --goerli and --kotti cross-client proof-of-authority testnet configurations.

• https://goerli.net

There are many Ethereum testnets available for experimenting with smart contracts and deploying decentralised applications before going live on the main Ethereum network. However, there is no testnet available that is both widely usable across all client implementations, and robust enough to guarantee consistent availability and high reliability. This is what Görli tries to be for Ethereum and Kotti for Ethereum Classic. Read more on the motivation in the Testnet Proposal.
