Pre-requisites
The Signum Node is an integral part of the blockchain. It loads and synchronizes the entire blockchain, including wallet functionality and the REST API.
Mainnet is Signum's main public production blockchain, where transactions of real-world value take place on a distributed ledger. When people and exchanges discuss Signum pricing, they talk about Mainnet Signum.
It would be best to have a Signum node running continuously with a fully synchronized blockchain.
You can access a quick guide for running a Mainnet node by clicking the following link: Running on mainnet
You can interact with the Mainnet node on localhost port 8123
In addition to the mainnet network, there is also a public test network. They are used by developers or smart contract developers to test updates or smart contracts in a production environment before deploying them to the mainnet network. Think of it as an analogy between a production workstation and a staging server.
Thanks to this type of network, development teams can carry out tests without affecting the operation of the original network.
It would be best to have a Testnet Signum node running continuously with a fully synchronized blockchain.
You can access a quick guide for running a Testnet node by clicking the following link: Running on testnet
You can interact with the Testnet node on localhost port 6876
