A node can be configured to connect to different Creditcoin networks. Each network has different configurations and use cases.
Attributes | Devnet | Testnet | Mainnet |
|---|---|---|---|
Overview | Local/public development environment | Public testing environment | Live production environment |
Users | Developers | Developers & testers | End users |
Function | To develop new features & improvements | To test new features & improvements | To secure credit history on-chain |
Tokens | Test tokens with no real world economic value | Test tokens with no real world economic value | Real tokens with economic value |
Chain history | Wiped frequently | Wiped occasionally | Preserved |
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:
./target/release/creditcoin-node --chain main --bootnodes "/dns4/bootnode.creditcoin.network/tcp/30333/p2p/12D3KooWAEgDL126EUFxFfdQKiUhmx3BJPdszQHu9PsYsLCuavhb"
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.Last modified 4mo ago
