| # Networks | ||
|
|
||
| ## Mainnet | ||
|
|
||
| [Mainnet](../../networks/mainnet/) is the live production network that all nodes on the Filecoin network are connected to. It never resets. | ||
| [Mainnet](../../networks/mainnet/) is the live production network that connects all nodes on the Filecoin network. It operates continuously without resets. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Testnets | ||
|
|
||
| Test networks, or testnets, are version of the Filecoin network that attempt to simulate various aspects of the Filecoin mainnet. Since they are for testing they should not be used for production applications or services. | ||

| ### Calibration | ||
|
|
||
| [Calibration](../../networks/calibration/) testnet is the most realistic simulation of the mainnet, where prospective storage providers can experience more realistic sealing performance and hardware requirements due to the use of final proofs constructions and parameters, and prospective storage clients can store and retrieve real data on the network. Clients can participate in deal-making workflows and storage/retrieval functionality. It also has the same sector size as the mainnet. | ||
| The [Calibration](../../networks/calibration/) testnet offers the closest simulation of the mainnet. It provides realistic sealing performance and hardware requirements due to the use of finalized proofs and parameters, allowing prospective storage providers to test their setups. Storage clients can also store and retrieve real data on this network, participating in deal-making workflows and testing storage/retrieval functionalities. Calibration testnet uses the same sector size as the mainnet. | ||
