eth2 / witti testnet support #8750

Open oberstet opened 4 years ago

oberstet commented 4 years ago

does metamask (plan to) support running against the Infura’s Eth2 Beacon Chain API ("witti testnet")?

it doesn't currently seem to be in the (built-in) list of networks (I am running metamask v7.7.9)

should I configure a custom network?

q9f commented 4 years ago

The Witti Testnet just started 14 days ago and is meant for client developers to test interoperability rather than for application developers. It will be very unlikely that MetaMask will add support as this testnet will be replaced soon by a new testnet.

Curious what you would need the ETH2 API for in MetaMask?

we're using metamask/infura for all UI stuff on

our backend for XBR runs as part of https://github.com/crossbario/crossbar (well, currently still on a "private repo" derived of that, but ..) and only needs web3.py talking to infura. so we're fine there.

we also have a CLI based on web3.py and https://github.com/crossbario/autobahn-python

but for the UI stuff (which is vue-js/metamask), we'd like to test that as well ..
