One binary, four networks
The node ships exactly four chainspecs. Seed is a permanent simulation; Forge, Rise, and One share the real Production consensus, differing only by launch order and audit gating. A production chain-id can never fake instant-seal.
PYRAX Seed
SimulatedPermanent developer sandbox — a byte-identical simulation on real primitives with play-money and a welcome faucet. It never becomes mainnet; it stays a sandbox forever.
PYRAX Forge
ProductionClosed public alpha on the real Production consensus, launched with three seeded genesis validators. The first network where the production path runs for outside testers.
PYRAX Rise
ProductionThe official public testnet — incentivized and audit-facing, with a testnet emission ramp. The dress rehearsal for mainnet.
PYRAX One
ProductionMainnet. The genesis ceremony is pending the external audit gate — no faucet, no dev keys, real value.
Live figures are read from each network's public RPC at page load. A network that isn't reachable shows honest status — never fabricated numbers.
The path to mainnet
Deliberate and audit-gated. Each network de-risks the next; nothing carrying real value ships before the external audit clears.
PYRAX Seed is live
A faithful simulation of the full protocol — GhostDAG, shielded pool, multi-VM contracts, PYRAX Compute — running today as a permanent developer sandbox.
PYRAX Forge · closed alpha
The production consensus path (real 5-lane TriStream + BLS finality) opens to invited testers with seeded validators.
PYRAX Rise · public testnet
Open, incentivized testnet with the emission ramp — the audit-facing rehearsal, load-tested in the open.
External audit
A single independent audit of consensus, the ZK circuits, and the bridge. Nothing reaches mainnet before it clears.
PYRAX One · mainnet
The genesis ceremony, the 50B hard cap enforced in consensus, and real value — after the gate.
