Internal testnet

[mhluongo]

tBTC needs an internal testnet that

• Always has the latest (or nearly latest) Keep contracts
• Pulls in any necessary external dependencies (eg Implement on-chain liquidation #105)
• Can be used for testing by partners who want to integrate

@sthompson22 shit's getting real, prepare yourself

keep-dev will already have these things, if we can use the same testnet the beacon runs on.

Well let me peep the dependency note. Contracts and external integration are def there.

@sthompson22 we sort of have this now, but a separate testnet for partners (or the same one we use for stakers) might make sense- thoughts?

What we have now is the "internal testnet". When needed I can replicate the deployment to our private testnet where beacon testing with external parties is happening. This runs the most recent blessed state of the beacon and isn't deployed unless we push the button. It should be stable enough for testing with tbtc external parties.

@sthompson22 should we close this?

We've had this for a while, thanks @sthompson22!
