A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

To smart contract developers testing on public testnets (sepolia, etc...): Why aren't you setting up your own private testnet (anvil/hardhat with mainnet fork)? What are the benefits of public testnets over private ones?

Primarily the ability to deploy a front end other can test, as well as making sure it works with marketplaces like OpenSea if working with NFTs. We have over 100 people testing cosmiccowboys.cloud which gives us very valuable feedback

By front-end, you mean the etherscan read/write contract interface? And how do you check if it's working with opensea? Do they have a testnet version? Thanks for your answers 🙏!

Thanks for the reply! What kind of third party integration?
And would a solution that includes hosted node (w/ ipfs if needed) + custom explorer (ie abi loaded, contract tagging, etc) be interesting for you? (Explorer would be https://tryethernal.com)

Using a public testnet solely for 3rd party integration + testing. Otherwise I’m spinning up an anvil fork.
