Testnets
Test networks are designed for early-stage application development. Storing assets with real world value on these networks is highly discouraged and minted PKPs may be deleted. All test networks may be deprecated in the future.
Here is an overview of the Lit testnets:
| Name | Lit Blockchain | Description | Minimum Lit SDK Version | Lit SDK Network Identifier | Requires Payment |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Datil-test | Chronicle Yellowstone | Decentralized testnet designed for pre-production development. No persistency guarantees. Payment is enforced. | ^6.4.0 | datil-test | ✅ |
| Datil-dev | Chronicle Yellowstone | Centralized testnet designed for early-stage development. Keys are not persistent and will be deleted. This network does not enforce payment and can be used for free, for testing. | ^6.4.0 | datil-dev | ❌ |
Datil-test
The Lit network, Datil-test, utilizes the Lit blockchain: Chronicle Yellowstone. It's a decentralized testnet designed for pre-production development, and is superseding the Manzano testnet. Like Manzano, usage of the network does require payment using Capacity Credits.
If your application is currently deployed to a v0 Lit network (Cayenne, Manzano, and/or Habanero) please refer to this guide to learn how to migrate to the new Datil networks.
The minimum version of the Lit SDK that supports datil-test is 6.4.0, and the latest SDK version will be installed from NPM by default:
- npm
- yarn
npm install @lit-protocol/lit-node-client
yarn add @lit-protocol/lit-node-client
There were no breaking changes to the API for v6 of the Lit SDK, so the code you were using for Manzano should work without issue on Datil-test. If you do run into issues after migrating to Datil-test, please reach out to us on our Telegram for support.
To connect to Datil-test, please follow the Connecting to a Lit Network guide using datil-test for the litNetwork property when instantiating an instance of the LitNodeClient.
Datil-dev
The Lit network, Datil-dev, utilizes the Lit blockchain: Chronicle Yellowstone. It's a centralized testnet designed for early-stage development, and is superseding the Cayenne testnet. Like Cayenne, usage of the network does not require payment using Capacity Credits.
If your application is currently deployed to a v0 Lit network (Cayenne, Manzano, and/or Habanero) please refer to this guide to learn how to migrate to the new Datil networks.
The minimum version of the Lit SDK that supports datil-dev is 6.4.0, and the latest SDK version will be installed from NPM by default:
- npm
- yarn
npm install @lit-protocol/lit-node-client
yarn add @lit-protocol/lit-node-client
There were no breaking changes to the API for v6 of the Lit SDK, so the code you were using for Cayenne should work without issue on Datil-dev. If you do run into issues after migrating to Datil-dev, please reach out to us on our Telegram for support.
To connect to Datil-dev, please follow the Connecting to a Lit Network guide using datil-dev for the litNetwork property when instantiating an instance of the LitNodeClient.
