Currently there is one Ergo testnet available.

Explorer is available at https://testnet.ergoplatform.com/

To join the testnet, just download latest Ergo protocol reference client from https://github.com/ergoplatform/ergo/releases , and then launch it like

java -jar -Xmx3G ergo-4.0.12.jar --testnet -c testnet.conf

where minimal testnet.conf would be:

ergo {
  networkType = "testnet"
}
scorex {
 restApi {
    # Hex-encoded Blake2b256 hash of an API key. Should be 64-chars long Base16 string.
    # Below is hash corresponding to API_KEY = "hello" (with no quotes)
    apiKeyHash = "324dcf027dd4a30a932c441f365a25e86b173defa4b8e58948253471b81b72cf"
  }
}
