Ren Chaosnet

An overview of Chaosnet and how to get involved.

Chaosnet is no longer live, RenVM is now on Mainnet.

Purpose

Chaosnet is an unaudited and unrefined release of RenVM. It is a pre-production environment for RenVM which is deployed to Ethereum, Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, ZCash Mainnet and interoperates real ETH, ERC20, BTC, BCH, and ZEC.

The purpose of Chaosnet is to test RenVM under real economic incentives. It will serve as a proving ground for the team, developers, and community where we will purposefully put the network under further stress, and incentivize its corruption. Ensuring RenVM is battle-tested under real-world conditions is paramount, and Chaosnet is an efficient — and fun — way to achieve this.

If you have no idea what we are talking about at this stage, we'd encourage you to get caught up here and then here.

Three Ways to Get Involved

1) Use ChaosDEX A simple Uniswap inspired decentralized exchange (DEX) in which members of the public can provide liquidity and trade real BTC, BCH, ZEC, and DAI.

2) Run a Darknode on Chaosnet Running a Darknode is simple, and you earn rewards for powering the network. If you have 10,000 REN and want to participate, check out the installation instructions here.

3) Participate in Chaosnet Challenges Want to help stress test Chaosnet, learn about RenVM, and earn rewards?

Chaosnet is not for the faint hearted, all components are unaudited so proceed at your own risk!
