Guru Network Testnet Update: RPC Issues & Recovery Plan

The Guru Network testnet is currently experiencing downtime due to critical RPC infrastructure issues with our provider, Conduit. We understand how frustrating this is for developers and community members who rely on stable testnet access for building and testing.

What's Happening

Our team has identified persistent RPC connectivity problems that are preventing normal testnet operations. RPC endpoints are essential for enabling communication between applications and blockchain networks, and when these fail, it creates cascading issues affecting transactions, smart contract interactions, and data queries.

Our Response

We're actively working on a fix to restore testnet functionality as quickly as possible. Our engineering team is implementing immediate solutions while simultaneously evaluating alternative infrastructure providers to ensure better reliability moving forward.

The blockchain infrastructure landscape offers several robust alternatives, including Alchemy, Infura, QuickNode, Ankr, and Chainstack, which provide enterprise-grade RPC services with high uptime guarantees. We're conducting thorough assessments to select providers that can deliver the resilience and performance the Guru Network ecosystem demands. One of the most promising solutions is planned collaboration with Gateway.FM

Looking Ahead

This incident reinforces our commitment to building redundant, multi-provider infrastructure architecture. Industry best practices recommend implementing RPC auto-routing across multiple providers to eliminate single points of failure and ensure continuous availability. We're incorporating these learnings into our infrastructure roadmap to prevent similar disruptions in the future.

Thank you for your patience and continued support as we work through this challenge.
