Networks & Endpoints

This pages gives an overview around the different networks available in the IOTA ecosystem.

info

In general, all endpoints are load balanced but are also subject to rate limiting. If you are developing a production level application for IOTA, consider setting up your own infrastructure in order to have more control and to not run into any limits.

IOTA

The IOTA Mainnet is the production network within the IOTA ecosystem using the IOTA token.

info

This network runs under a Coordinator PoA scheme with validators operated by Akkodis, ETO GRUPPE, Software AG, Imperial College London and the IOTA Foundation.
