Connect To Testnet
gRPC Endpoint

How to Connect
In this example, we will be using Docker to run the node.
The way to connect to a testnet is by adding it as a known peer. To do this via CLI, you can use --knownPeers testnet.topl.co:9085. You will also need to pass the --config which contains the genesis block information and other configuration requirements for the given testnet.
The testnet configs are hosted on GitHub https://github.com/Topl/Genesis_Testnets which can be automatically downloaded by Bifrost using the --config https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Topl/Genesis_Testnets/main/testnet2/config.yaml parameter.
A full example of connecting to the node:
docker run --name bifrost-testnet -p 9085:9085 -p 9084:9084 toplprotocol/bifrost-node:2.0.0-beta1 \
--knownPeers testnet.topl.co:9085 \
--config https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Topl/Genesis_Testnets/main/testnet2/config.yaml
