Devnet limits
What changes, what resets, and what devnet is not for.
- Resets happen. The devnet can restart from block 0, which wipes balances, assets, attestations and the attestor registry. Afterwards
genesis_hashmay change or stay the same, so don't rely on it alone to spot a reset. Height going backwards is the reliable sign. Claim from the faucet again, and click Get attested in the Console again. - Blocks every 2 seconds. Finality usually follows within a block or two. Poll
/actions/{signature}rather than sleeping a fixed time. - Zero-knowledge keys are a devnet setup. The proving and verifying keys for private claim proofs come from a devnet-only setup, not a public trusted-setup ceremony. ZK proofs on devnet are for testing integrations, not for trusting.
- Test value only. Devnet ARX and assets have no value. Don't reuse a devnet key anywhere else, and never put real personal data in an attestation's identity reference. Use an opaque reference.
- Things will change. Action formats and the SDK can change between devnet versions. Check
arx --versionagainst the latest package if a signature is suddenly rejected.
