Tezos Ghostnet Deprecation & Migration to Shadownet
The Tezos ecosystem is sunsetting the Ghostnet test network. In alignment with official Tezos recommendations, Tatum is decommissioning support for Ghostnet infrastructure. All developers currently using Ghostnet are required to migrate their integrations to Shadownet, the new standard for Tezos protocol testing.
Tezos Documentation: Tezos Testnets Overview
Key Changes & Impact
Ghostnet has reached its End of Life (EOL) and is no longer operational. Connectivity to Ghostnet nodes will return connection errors, and all associated Tatum RPC endpoints are being deactivated.
Deprecated Endpoints
The following URL patterns are being decommissioned:
https://tezos-ghostnet.blockchain.tatum.iohttps://tezos-ghostnet.rpc.tatum.iohttps://api-eu1.tatum.io/v3/blockchain/node/tezos-ghostnethttps://api-us-west1.tatum.io/v3/blockchain/node/tezos-ghostnethttps://api.tatum.io/v3/blockchain/node/tezos-ghostnethttps://tezos-testnet.gateway.tatum.iohttps://tezos-testnet.blockchain.tatum.iohttps://tezos-testnet.rpc.tatum.iohttps://api-eu1.tatum.io/v3/blockchain/node/tezos-testnethttps://api-us-west1.tatum.io/v3/blockchain/node/tezos-testnethttps://api.tatum.io/v3/blockchain/node/tezos-testnet
Recommended Action
To continue testing your Tezos applications, you must update your connection strings to point to Shadownet.
Migration Steps
- Ghostnet Status: Deprecated.
- Shadownet Availability: Live. Shadownet is available for immediate use.
Connection Endpoints
Please update your application configuration to use the following Shadownet endpoint:
| Network | Gateway URL |
|---|---|
| Tezos Shadownet | https://tezos-shadownet.gateway.tatum.io |
Important Notice
Because Ghostnet is already unresponsive, this migration is mandatory and immediate. Applications that do not update their RPC URLs will experience service interruptions for Tezos testnet functionality.
