# Networks |
|||
|
|||
Bitcore provides support for both the main bitcoin network as well as for |
|||
`testnet3`, the current test blockchain. We encourage the use of |
|||
`Networks.livenet` and `Networks.testnet` as constants. Note that the library |
|||
sometimes may check for equality against this object. Avoid creating a deep |
|||
copy of this object and using that. |
|||
|
|||
## Setting the default network |
|||
|
|||
Most project will only need to work in one of either networks. The value of |
|||
`Networks.defaultNetwork` can be set to `Networks.testnet` if the project will |
|||
needs only to work on testnet (the default is `Networks.livenet`). |
|||
|
|||
## Network constants |
|||
|
|||
The functionality of testnet and livenet is mostly similar (except for some |
|||
relaxed block validation rules on testnet). They differ in the constants being |
|||
used for human representation of base58 encoded strings. These are sometimes |
|||
referred to as "version" constants. |
