# Mainnet & Testnet Network ### Mainnet Network **Mainnet Network** is the original and functional blockchain network where the actual transactions take place in the distributed ledger and the real cryptocurrencies have real economic value in other words, mainnet refers to the actual open-source blockchain itself which is publicly verifiable. ### Testnet Network **Testnet Network** is an alternative blockchain Network to be used for testing. The testnet coins are different from the real coins and do not have any value. This allows app developers or testers to experiment without having to use real Coins or worrying about breaking the main blockchain chain. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
