Mainnets

The Namada mainnet is currently live after having been launched on December 3 @ 15:00 UTC.

The genesis files are hosted in the following repository: https://github.com/anoma/namada-mainnet-genesis (opens in a new tab).

Mainnet status and attributes:

• chain ID: namada.5f5de2dd1b88cba30586420
• Namada binaries: v101.1.2 (opens in a new tab)
• Namada libs: v0.150.2 (opens in a new tab)
• CometBFT version: v0.37.15 (opens in a new tab)

Joining the network from the CLI

The simplest way to join the network is the following:

export NAMADA_NETWORK_CONFIGS_SERVER="https://github.com/anoma/namada-mainnet-genesis/releases/download/mainnet-genesis"
export CHAIN_ID=namada.5f5de2dd1b88cba30586420
 
# Download the network files and join
namadac utils join-network --chain-id $CHAIN_ID

With these steps, a user can join the Namada mainnet, allowing for querying and transacting on the blockchain. These beginning steps are necessary for running a full node or a validator node as well. More details on how to join the network in these cases can be found in this mainnet guide (opens in a new tab).

Hard forks

If an operator would like to sync a node from genesis, they must do so by running the appropriate version of the node. This version historically changes each time there has been a hard-fork of the network.

The following table describes the hard-forks and the corresponding software version needed to sync a block:
