Astor testnet node.
See how Astor
is being used.
Astor Network is an Ethereum testnet that uses SHA3 as its proof of work method. SHA3 allows for a higher performance, and safer block production. Astor is based on
ECIP-1049 which was proposed for Ethereum Classic in response to the 51% attack of January 2019.
