Abstract

This EIP proposes a specification for an automatically reset testnet, a novel approach to testnets that can be implemented within Ethereum clients. It enables a single testing infrastructure consisting of ephemeral networks with deterministic parameters. Each network iteration is created by a specified function which deterministically generates genesis states.
