Gonka DevNet Community

Gonka DevNet Community is an external test lab that operates a public DevNet for testing protocol upgrades, DevShards, inference flows, integrations, and operational changes before production rollout. It provides a live public network dashboard and an inference dashboard for community participants. The platform enables operators to join as hosts by running node software with documented minimum requirements including Ubuntu operating systems, NVIDIA GPUs with 16 GB VRAM, CUDA 12.8 support, and stable public network connectivity.

The platform tracks live metrics such as chain height, consensus distribution, validator map locations, and gateway inference. It also provides public endpoints for health and runtime inventory, host-local sessions, and observed network hosts. Additionally, it offers public endpoint observations, live gateway load metrics, and OpenAI-compatible access for inference traffic.

Hosts must maintain stable internet with a stable public IPv4 address or a DNS name that resolves to it. The required network ingress includes TCP ports 80, 443, 5000, and the configured SSH port, plus UDP 443. Uptime is critical, requiring the system to be always on with sleep and address changes disabled.

The system tracks consensus transitions, including previous epoch, waiting for a finalized epoch, and PoC evidence. It also monitors public devshard observations, runtime inventory compared with the chain-approved catalog, and observed network hosts. Chain evidence inspection includes participant committed artifacts and validator attestations.

The platform provides OpenAI-compatible access for inference traffic using a Telegram conversation client or an operator-provisioned OpenAI-compatible credential. Both methods send inference requests to the live gateway endpoint. The gateway status is checked continuously to ensure active and successful requests are tracked.

The system monitors active requests currently in flight, input tokens, successful requests completed since gateway restart, and rate-limited requests rejected since gateway restart. It also tracks network capacity available model weight and gateway traffic status. These metrics are updated in real-time to reflect current network conditions.

The platform provides a monthly reports section and a status API for external access. It also includes a task board and a why this test lab exists page. The network dashboard and inference dashboard are accessible via links on the main site for community participants.
