[Kurtosis](https://www.kurtosis.com/) is a composable build system designed for configuring multi-container test environments. It specifically enables developers to create reproducible environments that require dynamic setup logic, such as blockchain testnets.

In this guide, the Kurtosis eth-network-package spins up a local Ethereum testnet with support for the [`geth`](https://geth.ethereum.org/) Execution Layer (EL) client, as well as [`teku`](https://consensys.net/knowledge-base/ethereum-2/teku/), [`lighthouse`](https://lighthouse.sigmaprime.io/), and [`lodestar`](https://lodestar.chainsafe.io/) Consensus Layer (CL) clients. This package serves as a configurable and composable alternative to networks in frameworks like Hardhat Network, Ganache, and Anvil. Kurtosis offers developers greater control and flexibility over the testnets they use, which is a major reason why the [Ethereum Foundation used Kurtosis to test the Merge](https://www.kurtosis.com/blog/testing-the-ethereum-merge) and continues to use it for testing network upgrades.
