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).

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:

Starting Block HeightSoftware Version
0v1.0.0
894,000v1.1.1
2,176,000v101.0.0

Services and infrastructure

There are several places to discover available infra and services with APIs for accessing Namada data.

The primary knowledge base is on namada.community (opens in a new tab), which pulls its data from the namada-ecosystem github repo (opens in a new tab). This is an actively maintained resource for finding RPC nodes to connect to, active IBC relayers, Namadillo front-end instances, active indexers, state snapshot providers and more.

Block explorers and Namadillo instances can also be found on https://namada.net/apps (opens in a new tab).
