Networks

As Pollux is a protocol, it implies the existence of various independent "networks" adhering to this protocol that operate autonomously.

These networks represent distinct Pollux environments accessible for development, testing, or production scenarios. While your Pollux account remains functional across various networks, keep in mind that your account balance and transaction history won't transfer from the primary Pollux network. Understanding the available networks and obtaining testnet POX is crucial for testing purposes, enabling you to experiment within these environments.

Public Network

Open networks are available to individuals worldwide with an internet connection. Anyone has the capability to read or initiate transactions on an open blockchain and verify the transactions taking place.

Mainnet

Mainnet is the primary public Pollux production blockchain, where actual-value transactions occur on the distributed ledger. When people and exchanges discuss POX prices, they're talking about Mainnet POX.

Public Node

The public nodes are stable online mainnet nodes, which can be used as seed nodes in the Pollux network for node discovery:

  • 3.225.171.164

  • 52.53.189.99

Testnet

In addition to Mainnet, there are public testnets. These are networks used by protocol developers or smart contract developers to test both protocol upgrades as well as potential smart contracts before deployment to Mainnet.

It’s generally important to test any contract code you write on a testnet before deploying to the Mainnet. POX on testnets has no real value; therefore, there are no markets for testnet POX. Anyone can get testnet POX from faucets.

yuvi Testnet

The parameters of the yuvi testnet are consistent with the mainnet. Currently, the yuvi test network does not support adding new nodes running by anyone.
