# Mainnet

## Definition

A mainnet is the production blockchain network where transactions use the network's real economic assets and consensus state.

## What it means in practice

Mainnet activity can have real financial consequences, unlike test networks intended for development or testing.

## How this concept appears in Terenval Wallet

Terenval includes real networks such as Bitcoin and Ethereum mainnet alongside supported EVM/L2 networks.

**Important:** Always confirm whether the selected environment is mainnet or testnet before sending funds.
