Onboarding (Fast start)
LiveTestnet
Bring a validator to voting hot and verified: hot before its stake activates, back as soon as it is ready after a restart, or through a cluster restart. It never votes on anything it has not executed itself.

Each answer is signed by its own service key, listed in /attest/keys.json.

Free without a key under http://186.233.184.235:8080/testnet; testnet never counts against a plan or mainnet’s free tier. On its gated paths a key sent anyway is checked and served at testnet’s free limits, never charged; an unknown or revoked key gets 401.
