|
|
description: An overview of public testnets that you can test Ocean Protocol applications against.
|
||
|
|
---
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can test an Ocean Protocol application (such as a marketplace) against some testnets that are maintained by the Ocean Protocol Foundation and others.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Kovan Testnet
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The [Kovan Testnet](https://github.com/kovan-testnet/proposal) (or just "Kovan") is a public Ethereum testnet operated by members of the Ethereum community. The Ocean Protocol [keeper contracts](https://github.com/oceanprotocol/keeper-contracts) (smart contracts) are deployed there.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Moreover, there is a [Secret Store](/concepts/components/#secret-store) operated by the Ocean Protocol Foundation which is connected to the Kovan Testnet: the Ocean Secret Store for Kovan.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To use those for testing your application, you need:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. A Kovan address, i.e. an address for a wallet that can hold Kovan Ether.
|
||
|
|
1. Kovan Ether (KEth).
|
||
|
|
1. Kovan Ocean Tokens.
|
||
|
|
1. Information about how to connect to Kovan and the Ocean Secret Store for Kovan.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See [the tutorials section](/tutorials/introduction/) for help with getting all that.

## Ocean Testnet
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Ocean Testnet is similar to the Kovan Testnet, except all the nodes are operated by the Ocean Protocol Foundation. The Ocean Protocol [keeper contracts](https://github.com/oceanprotocol/keeper-contracts) (smart contracts) are deployed there.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Moreover, there is a [Secret Store](/concepts/components/#secret-store) operated by the Ocean Protocol Foundation which is connected to the Ocean Testnet: the Ocean Secret Store.

|
|
|
||
|
|
To use those for testing your application, you need:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. An Ocean Testnet address, i.e. an address for a wallet that can hold Ocean Testnet Ether.
|
||
|
|
1. Ocean Testnet Ether.
|
||
|
|
1. Ocean Testnet Ocean Tokens.
|
||
|
|
1. Information about how to connect to the Ocean Testnet and the Ocean Secret Store.
