Anyone who has ever spent time developing on Goerli has suffered the same problem: getting any reasonable amount of Goerli-ETH is near impossible. One of our first experiences with testing systems at scale was a battle of “us” against the Goerli faucet. We camped the faucet for days, begged, and ultimately ended up buying a bunch of Goerli ETH OTC via Twitter. The faucets were an intractable combination of fast enough to get the minimum amount we needed and slow enough to make testing large batches of deployments and transactions near impossible. As developers, we promised ourselves that when we had the time we’d create something that would solve this problem for our team and future developers.

The wait is over. We are excited to announce that the SyncSwap Era ∎ Testnet is now live on the zkSync Era testnet.

Optimism was built to empower humanity through decentralized blockchain technology. And there is a lot to celebrate. But if Ethereum is to rival the goliaths of web2, and take software’s next bite of the world, it needs internet-level scale.

We are excited to announce the partnership with the omnichain smart contract platform ZetaChain (ZETA)!
