# Devnet & Testnet Blockchain

While developing applications, there is a need for a development/testing blockchain.

Inspect:
* [MultiversX Testnet Explorer](https://testnet-explorer.multiversx.com/)
* [MultiversX Devnnet Explorer](https://devnet-explorer.multiversx.com/)
* [Goerli Ethereum Testnet Explorer](https://goerli.etherscan.io/)
* [Sepolia Ethereum Testnet Explorer](https://sepolia.etherscan.io/)

What differences can you observe?

These blockchains offer the `Faucet` option where you can mint blockchain tokens (eGLD, ETH, etc.).
This way the development is easier for the community.

**NOTE**

All the tokens are "fake" tokens. They are only used to mock the real tokens on the Mainnet.

# Observers

Observers are a type of nodes that `don't participate in the consensus` but keep a peer-to-peer communication with the rest of the blockchain.
They are usually used to see the communication between nodes (ex: debugging).

Let's filter the nodes to see only the observers. There is an [Observers](https://explorer.multiversx.com/nodes?type=observer) tab below the `Nodes` section.

We can observer the same fields as the nodes, but there is no `Rating`. Why is that?

Note that each Observer is only on a Shard.

What should we do if we want to listen to the communication on every shard?
