Last updated 8 months ago

What is Mainnet?

Mainnet is the term used to describe when a blockchain protocol is fully developed and deployed, meaning that cryptocurrency transactions are being broadcast, verified, and recorded on a distributed ledger technology (blockchain).

MELD's mainnet can be used for deploying live dApps on the MELD blockchain and performing real transactions. Since this is the actual network, you will be required to purchase real MELD tokens to perform operations on the network.

How to Get MELD

There are multiple ways to purchase MELD Tokens for use on the mainnet. You can find all exchanges selling MELD .

If you already have MELD Tokens on Ethereum, Avalanche or Cardano, you can move your tokens to MELD directly by using a bridge.

How to Access MELD

There are multiple ways to access the MELD mainnet.

One possible method is to join the mainnet as a node operator.

You can also use the RPC endpoints to connect to the mainnet. RPC endpoints may be used to interact with a node directly over HTTP or websockets. Using RPC, you may perform low-level operations like executing ABCI queries, viewing network/consensus state or broadcasting a transaction. RPC endpoints are also used with web wallets like Metamask to connect to the MELD mainnet.
