## The 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 are deployed to the Kovan Testnet.
|

|

For developers building on Ocean Protocol, we recommend starting with a [Spree Testnet](#a-spree-testnet-for-local-development).

Aside from the Secret Store, there is no other Ocean Protocol software component (e.g. Aquarius) that is live, connected to the Kovan Testnet, and operated by BigchainDB GmbH.

### Using Barge with Kovan
|
||||
|
||||
If you run [Barge](https://github.com/oceanprotocol/barge) with the the `--local-kovan-node` option, then Barge will run a Kovan node on your local machine (along with everything else Barge runs). There are many blocks in the Kovan Testnet's blockchain, so it can take a long time for your local Kovan node to sync, i.e. to download a local copy of all the blocks. **In the meantime, the local Kovan node won't be able to do certain things.**

_Also known as the Beta Network or Nile Beta Network. Formerly called the Ocean POA Testnet._
|

|

The Nile Testnet is similar to the Kovan Testnet, except all the nodes are operated by BigchainDB GmbH.

For developers building on Ocean Protocol, we recommend starting with a [Spree Testnet](#a-spree-testnet-for-local-development).

### Using Barge with Nile

If you run [Barge](https://github.com/oceanprotocol/barge) with the the `--local-nile-node` option, then Barge will run a Nile node on your local machine (along with everything else Barge runs).

## A Spree Testnet (for Local Development)
|
||||
|
||||
When Ocean Protocol developers run [Barge](https://github.com/oceanprotocol/barge) with the `--local-spree-node` option, a "Spree Testnet" is deployed on their local machine: a local testnet not connected to any external public testnet.
