Kovan is evolving and there are exciting bleeding edge features on the Horizon. Learn more and contribute on Github.

Get Started
Deploy Ethereum Smart Contracts on Kovan Today!

1. Connect to Kovan
Kovan RPC Services

There are a few options for connecting to Kovan. Here are the two most popular:

Install Parity

Parity is a popular Ethereum client that is easily configurable to connect to Kovan. You can connect to Kovan by starting Parity with the following flags:

parity --chain kovan
ParityTech Website

Use Infura

You can also use Infura to connect to Kovan by specifying the following RPC URL:

https://kovan.infura.io
Infura Website

2. Get Free KETH
Kovan Faucet Services

"Faucets" allow you to acquire Kovan Ether without the need for mining.

Icarus Faucet

ParityTech has provided an automated SMS-verification Faucet service that allows you get a daily allowance of KETH.

Sign up for Icarus

Gitter Chat

You can also request KETH in the 'faucet' Gitter channel. Prominent contributers can receive larger amounts of KETH.

Gitter Faucet

Alternative Faucets

More Faucet services will become available over time. Watch this space!

3. Develop!
Deploy your Contracts

Once you have a Connection and some KETH, you're ready to go!

The Ethereum development ecosystem is ever-growing and you can use many of the same tools that you're already familiar with.

Truffle

Truffle is the most popular development framework for Ethereum. You can connect to Kovan in one of the following ways:

Use Parity and add the config to truffle.js:
