Add paseo network genesis hash #1911

Adding the new paseo network testnet hash to well known genesis

jacogr commented 8 months ago

Generally we don't add testnets, only live networks. (We have in the past added some in these vein, e.g. Rococo and Westend, but it has been a nightmare to maintain due to the instability).

So not a firm "never", but would rather keep an eye instead of redoing the same historic mistakes ending up with maintenance nightmares.

Thanks for the answer @jacogr! Regarding this testnet, it is meant to follow Polkadot instead of Kusama, meaning that it should be a more stable network making the function of a staging net, running the same runtime updates than Polkadot and at its same pace. It is not meant to be an experimental playground by any means.

I would be happy to have a closer look to said mistakes, and study them well to avoid repeating history :) Though, I don't know exactly to which mistakes you are referring, maybe to the number of requests for adding new parachains ?

At the end of the day I think that having this network available in the apps would be very welcome by the community, and even more once Rococo is phased out.

If you have any alternative in mind, please let me know as I have already open the companion of this change in the apps repo - https://github.com/polkadot-js/apps/pull/10200
