  • Kovan - Stable Ethereum Public Testnet
    • About:
      • Parity’s Proof of Authority (PoA) Consensus Engine
      • Reliable infrastructure to aid development of Ethereum Dapps (replaces Ropsten, Morden)
      • Requires Parity PoA Protocol
      • Requires Parity >1.5.7
      • Kovan Ether acquirable using Faucet Guide
    • Benefits (over Ropsten):
      • Spam attack immunity (Ether supply controlled by trusted parties)
      • Consistent block time (4 sec) to minimise transaction confirmation latency
      • Parallel transaction processing of transactions 3-6x improvement (EIP-98)
      • Supports Parity secure blockchain-based auto-update system
