What is DevNet? ​

DevNet is ASI:Chain's development network where:

• Test tokens have no real value - Experiment freely
• Anyone can join - Become a validator or just use the network
• Smart contracts - Deploy and test Rholang contracts
• Live environment - Full blockchain functionality for testing

Important Notes ​

Security Reminders:

• DevNet tokens have NO real value
• Keep private keys secure - they cannot be recovered if lost
• Do not use DevNet keys on mainnet (when available)
• Always verify you're on official sites (check URLs)
