API v2

[ligi]

API v2 should change faucets (#1884) and RPC (some ideas here #1829 (comment))
old data format should be kept for a while (as output) - new one added at /v2 - fallback should be possible with these both changes

I would add a "isTestnet" boolean, useful to all indexers/trackers/DEXes/etc.
My suggested definition of "true" when the entity adding the chain definiton to the list doesn't specify it, would be having centralized minting of the native/fee token, ie. the token not having consensus economic value.

My reasoning for not wanting isTestNet: #2351

[kopeboy]

your reasoning is "Goerli has now value, people test on Mainnet"..
I said it depends on the minting process of the native token being decentralized.

The lines are really blurry. I really do not think a boolean flag makes sense here.

I'm not saying YOU should take the decision and that a boolean value decides if the token can have market value, I'm just saying having a canonical test value, defined by the entity adding the chain to the list, could help many users of this service. Do you recognize the utility? Can you offer alternative means to select which chains I should connect to with my production service? Thank you.

but in the end I need to review the PR - not sure how I can meaningfully do this for that value as I think it is not boolean.
Just check if there is a faucet - IMHO this is a good indicator if this is a testnet.
Also why wouldn't you allow testnet chains to be connected to your "production" service? IMHO this is great for .. testing ..-)
