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_hash may 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 --version against the latest package if a signature is suddenly rejected.
