Self Chain Networks

Self Chain operates on several networks, each functioning with its own independent validators and unique state.

Mainnet

The self-1 chain is the mainnet of the Self Chain. It serves as the live production environment where actual transactions and smart contract development take place. This chain is used for all real-world applications and activities.

Devnet

The dev-1 chain is the devnet of the Self Chain. It serves as a development network for early-stage testing and experimentation. This chain is typically used by developers to test new features, perform integration testing, and develop prototypes in an isolated environment.

Localhost

Developers can also run local chains on their machines for testing and development purposes. These local chains are isolated environments that mimic the behavior of the mainnet, testnet, or devnet. They are particularly useful for testing new features, debugging issues, and experimenting with smart contracts, giving developers full control over all tokens and governance decisions.

  • Purpose: Development

  • Chain ID: Set by the user (default: self-chain)

Please read the Node Setup Guide section for more information on how to set up and run a local chain.

To add the Self Chain mainnet or devnet to Keplr, follow the “Adding Self Chain to Keplr Wallet” guide.
