- The congested testnet will simulate high loads by sampling spam transactions with characteristics similar to the historical congestion distribution, as detailed in the statistics
- The testnet will be open to public access.
- A publicly available tADA faucet will be provided on the testnet for developers.
- The testnet will offer a mechanism to submit custom transactions.
- Faucet. This api will be connected with few testnet nodes annd will be used to send 1000 tADA to a specified address.
curl -X POST ".../faucet" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"address": $USER_ADDRESS}'
- Prometheus.This database stores logs from nodes in the testnet. Additionally, the spammer continuously measures the transaction time until it is added to a block
awaitTxTime
. - Spammer.
- Uses N wallets, switching between them in a round-robin manner after each transaction.
- Transactions can be simple or involve locking/unlocking funds to the alwaysTrueScript with different parameters to simulate congestion, similar to the historical peak
- The size of the transaction and its CPU/memory usage will be regulated by alwaysTrue validators performing varying computational tasks.
- Transaction parameters such as transaction size, cpu/mem usage will be sampled from congestion distribution
- It will be built on top of Cardano transaction library(CTL) which connects with testnet nodes via ogmios and kupo.
- All necessary data for spam transactions, such as random addresses, scripts, and policies, along with parameters from the congestion distribution, will be stored in database (
SpammerDB
). - Spammer will query
Prometheus
to check whether to continue generating spam or to stop.
