Connect to Rubix Testnet

The testnet is a development environment for testing your applications without risking real assets.

• Start your node using the -testNet flag.

  ./rubixgoplatform run -s -testNet -defaultSetup -p <node_name> \
  -n <node_number> -grpcPort <grpc_port>

• Ensure the testswarm.key file is in your node's root folder and matches the official key in the Rubix GitHub repository. This key is crucial for connecting to the test network.
