  • Slippage, priority fee, etc.

History

  • Transactions are network-specific

  • Devnet transactions don't appear on mainnet explorers

Best Practices

Testing Workflow

  1. Start on Devnet

  2. Request airdrop SOL

  3. Test your operations

  4. Verify everything works

  5. Switch to Mainnet

  6. Execute for real

Before Mainnet Launch

Always test on Devnet first:

  • Wallet generation

  • SOL distribution

  • Launch flow (limited)

  • Trading operations

Safety

  • Default to Mainnet for safety

  • Clear visual indicator when on Devnet

  • Always confirm network before transactions

Troubleshooting

Wrong Network

If you sent to wrong network:

  • Mainnet → Devnet: Funds safe on mainnet address

  • Devnet → Mainnet: Devnet SOL has no mainnet value

Balance Not Updating

  • Check you're on correct network

  • Balances are network-specific

  • Click refresh to update

Feature Not Working

Some features are mainnet-only:

  • Jito bundles

  • Cross-chain bridge

  • Some Pump.fun operations
