# Holesky Testnet

:::info
The Holesky testnet launched on September 15th, 2023 and will eventually replace the current Ethereum Goerli testnet. Holesky aims to replicate an Ethereum environment that can scale its number of active validators.
:::

The **Holesky testnet** is a testnet for the Ethereum ecosystem, serving as a sandbox for users and developers alike.

Dappnode paves an easy pathway for enthusiasts to operate a node on the Holesky testnet, ensuring practical experience without the risks associated with the mainnet.

## Navigating to Holesky in Dappnode

You can locate the Holesky testnet under the [**Holesky** tab](http://my.dappnode/stakers/holesky) in the **Stakers Menu** starting on Dappnode Core v0.2.83. This intuitive design ensures that even novices can seamlessly set up their testnet node. If you want to run Holesky testnet validators, you'll also need to select Web3Signer Holesky.

## Why Run a Holesky Testnet Node?

1. **Hands-on Experience**: Running a validator on the Holesky testnet offers invaluable practical knowledge. It mimics the mainnet processes, providing a comprehensive understanding of node operation.
2. **Risk-free Exploration**: As it's a testnet, you're not staking real ETH. This provides an opportunity for experimentation without the financial stakes of the main Ethereum network.

**Tip**: If you're new to Ethereum or wish to familiarize yourself with node operation intricacies, starting with the Holesky testnet is highly recommended. It's the perfect platform for hands-on learning in a risk-free environment.

## Holesky Faucet
If you're interested in getting 32 HolETH for running a test validator, you can get it in the [Holesky PoW Faucet](https://holesky-faucet.pk910.de/). Make sure you understand how the faucet works before doing your request as it will temporarily impact your computer's performance in the claiming process.
