Rabbit Chain is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain powered by LCQ (Live Consensus Queue) and Rabbit Work V1. The network is designed for open participation: download the official software, run a node, and participate without manual registration or permission from an operator.
Rabbit Testnet v1 uses Chain ID 9280 with public P2P discovery, HTTPS RPC, WebSocket RPC and an official Blockscout explorer. Rabbit Core packages are released for Windows AMD64 and Linux AMD64.

Official release:
https://github.com/rabbitmainnet/rabbit-geth/releases/tag/rabbit-core-testnet-v1
Supported packages:
- Windows AMD64
- Linux AMD64
macOS is not included because it has not been tested for Testnet v1.
Every package contains Rabbit Core, the full node, Rabbit Work V1 miner, official genesis, two discovery bootnodes, build metadata, documentation and internal SHA-256 checksums.
- HTTPS RPC:
https://rpc-testnet.rabbitchain.org - WebSocket RPC:
wss://rpc-testnet.rabbitchain.org/ws - Explorer:
https://explorer-testnet.rabbitchain.org - Website status:

Bootnodes provide peer discovery only and have no consensus or administrative authority.
Download the archive and its checksum from the same GitHub release. On Linux:
sha256sum -c rabbit-core-testnet-v1-linux-amd64.tar.gz.sha256After extracting the package:
./rabbit-core --checkThis check verifies the official genesis and package structure without starting a node or miner.
Rabbit Core is the user-facing launcher included with every native package. On first run it will:
- verify the official genesis;
- load the official bootnodes;
- create or open one encrypted local mining wallet;
- initialize an isolated Rabbit Testnet data directory;
- start the Rabbit node and local-only JSON-RPC endpoint;
- start Rabbit Work V1 mining;
- stop the node and miner together when the user exits.
Wallet passwords and private keys remain local. The miner submits only signed Work V1 candidates to the local Rabbit node.

Official native releases use Go 1.25.13, a native C/C++ toolchain, CMake, NASM, and RandomX pinned to commit 7c761cf007c758056dcb6eb438a32f780f81bdbd with the Rabbit 1 GiB profile.
The reproducible multi-platform workflow is located at .github/workflows/rabbit-core-testnet-release.yml. Building from source does not replace verification of the official genesis, release commit, and checksums.
- Keep testnet and future mainnet wallets separate.
- Back up encrypted keystore files offline.
- Never expose
personal,admin,debug, authenticated RPC, or IPC to the public internet. - Verify the Chain ID before signing transactions.
- Report vulnerabilities privately through the repository's Security Advisories.
