Görli Testnet is the first proof-of-authority cross-client testnet, synching Parity Ethereum, Geth, Nethermind, Hyperledger Besu (formerly Pantheon), and EthereumJS. This testnet is a community-based project, completely open-source, naturally. It was born in September 2018 during ETHBerlin and has been growing in contributors ever since. More info here.
There are several bounties up for people who want to contribute. Please read the bounty announcement for the details and check available tasks on Gitcoin. Last but not least, we are building our validator network! So if you are interested in spinning up your own node, read the deployment guide.
If you would like to contribute in any shape or form, we are always looking for new people to join the project.
If you are technical our discussions are on Gitter. Join us!

We are currently seeking funding for our development efforts. If your community fund, entity, or you as an individual, are willing to donate, we have a multi-sig deployed. Thank you in advance!
