Setting up a Goerli node

What is Görli (aka Goerli)?

The Görli testnet is the first cross-client proof-of-authority (POA) network for Ethereum.

Why?

Ethereum is moving towards Ethereum 2.0 (aka ETH2) - the main reason behind this is that the network needs to be upgraded to keep the things running smoothly and scale beyond its ~15/transactions per second limit, Ethereum is going to move from Proof Of Work (POW) to Proof Of Stake (POS) so that the network will become easier to run on basic computers.

How to install and run it:

  2. Select: “Goerli Testnet (Ethereum)”
