**Why not just run a standard Ethereum node locally?**

You _could_ [run a node](/developers/docs/nodes-and-clients/#running-your-own-node) (like Geth, Erigon, or Nethermind) but since development networks are purpose-built for development, they often come packed with convenient features like:

There are also public test implementations of the Beacon Chain. The recommended testnet with long-term support is Goerli (which will merge with the Prater chain in August 2022). The Ropsten Chain was recently merged with its own Beacon Chain and is currently still available for testing consensus client implementations and post-merge application development.

Sepolia is also expected to be maintained for the foreseeable future, but the validator set is permissioned meaning there is no general access to new validators on this testnet. The Ropsten chain is expected to be deprecated.
