A node can be configured to connect to different Creditcoin networks. Each network has different configurations and use cases.
Attributes | Devnet | Testnet | Mainnet |
---|---|---|---|
The network configuration is specified using the --chain
flag and the --bootnodes
flag, which specifies the initial nodes to connect to. Currently, only the test
network chain specs include bootnodes. The main
and dev
networks bootnodes must be specified manually.
Example:
Creditcoin networks are configured using a ChainSpec
. The ChainSpec
is a JSON file that defines the initial configuration of the network. To use a ChainSpec
, use the --chain
flag when starting the node.
Mainnet: --chain main
Testnet: --chain test
Devnet: --chain dev
Bootnodes are nodes that are always on and can be used to bootstrap new nodes and discover other nodes in the network. To use a bootnode, use the --bootnodes
flag when starting the node followed by the bootnode's address.
