Since the launch of the collaborative testing toolkit for private forked chains, Testlabs has received a lot of requests

Key Highlights :

1. BlockSec has released a new toolkit, Phalcon Fork, that enables collaborative testing on private chains "forked from arbitrary (transaction) positions" and block numbers on the Ethereum mainnet.

2. The toolkit provides users with greater control over work being conducted on test nets, enabling them to easily "fork arbitrary (transaction) positions and block numbers" and retain certain "services and states" from the Ethereum mainnet.

3. Phalcon Fork also comes with an integrated faucet so that users can acquire free fork network Ether (ETH) to conduct transactions on the private chains.

4. To directly interact with the chains and execute transactions, Phalcon Fork provides a Remote Procedure Call (RPC) node called Fork RPC, which can be integrated with Ethereum Virtual Machine compatible development frameworks such as Hardhat, Foundry and Remix, or added to MetaMask.

     With the toolkit developers and security researchers can test, analyze and debug transactions via controlled private fork chains from the Ethereum mainnet.

     This article will introduce the toolkit, discuss its features and how it can be used to test, analyze and debug transactions on private fork chains from the Ethereum mainnet.

     Ethereum is a decentralized platform that runs smart contracts: applications that run exactly as programmed without any possibility of fraud or third party interference.

     Private fork chains are a type of smart contract that allows for transactions to be executed on a separate blockchain from the main Ethereum blockchain. This allows for a controlled and isolated environment in which transactions can be analyzed and debugged.

     The toolkit was created by the Ethereum Foundation in order to help developers and security researchers test, analyze and debug private fork chains.

     The toolkit consists of a set of command-line tools and an easy-to-use graphical user interface. It can be used to create and manage private fork chains, deploy smart contracts, and interact with the Ethereum blockchain.

     The toolkit has a number of features that make it useful for testing, analyzing and debugging private fork chains. These features include:

     -The ability to create and manage private fork chains

     -The ability to deploy smart contracts

     -The ability to interact with the Ethereum blockchain

     The toolkit is open source and available on GitHub. It is developed and maintained by the Ethereum Foundation.

     The toolkit is currently in beta and is available for download on the Ethereum Foundation website.
