Provider Networks
At any given time, there are a number of different Akash networks running for using in testing new nodes, providers, validators, and even deployments. The generally available networks are:
The ovrclk/net GitHub repository contains metadata about each available network. The format is standardized across the networks so that you can use the same method to fetch the information for any of them.
First determine the base URL (
$AKASH_NET) for the network you want to connect to - use the line from below that corresponds with the network you want to connect to:# mainnet
AKASH_NET="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ovrclk/net/master/mainnet"
# testnet
AKASH_NET="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ovrclk/net/master/testnet"
# edgenet
AKASH_NET="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ovrclk/net/master/edgenet"
AKASH_VERSION="$(curl -s "$AKASH_NET/version.txt")"
The akash CLI will recogonize
AKASH_CHAIN_ID environment variable when exported to the shell.export AKASH_CHAIN_ID="$(curl -s "$AKASH_NET/chain-id.txt")"
curl -s "$AKASH_NET/genesis.json" > genesis.json
curl -s "$AKASH_NET/seed-nodes.txt" | paste -d, -s
curl -s "$AKASH_NET/peer-nodes.txt" | paste -d, -s
Print a random RPC endpoint. The akash CLI will recognize
AKASH_NODE environment variable when exported to the shell.export AKASH_NODE="$(curl -s "$AKASH_NET/rpc-nodes.txt" | shuf -n 1)"
echo $AKASH_NODE
Print a random API endpoint
curl -s "$AKASH_NET/api-nodes.txt" | shuf -n 1
