Reference

Use this section when you need a concrete value, package name, endpoint, or definition while working with the Polkadot Products Devnet. The pages here are intentionally compact: they point you to the current source of truth without turning every reference lookup into an implementation tour.

Devnet

This is a public developer preview. Devnet tokens have no real value, and endpoints, addresses, and flows may change as the platform evolves. Never print or commit secrets.

What is here

  • Networks & endpoints — the Devnet chains, public entry points, and where to find current RPC and gateway values.
  • Packages & tools — the SDKs and CLIs you install when building Products.
  • Addresses & registries — the on-chain registries, asset IDs, and contract addresses that are useful to developers.
  • Glossary — short definitions for the terms used across the docs.
  • More resources — app installs, reference apps, source repositories, npm packages, and official Polkadot documentation.

Quick reference

Packages

# Libraries used by Products

Choosing a network

Use devnet as the network preset. pad and dotns use --env devnet; CDM uses -n devnet.
