Networks
Irys has two networks:
- Testnet: Uploads are paid for with real tokens. At mainnet launch, all data uploaded to testnet bundlers will be migrated to mainnet, with no changes to transaction IDs.
- Devnet: Uploads are paid for with free faucet tokens. Data is deleted after ~60 days.
Connecting to Testnet
ℹ️
The following code is for using ethereum only, we also have examples covering all of the tokens we support for payment.
import { Uploader } from "@irys/upload";
import { Ethereum } from "@irys/upload-ethereum";
const getIrysUploader = async () => {
const irysUploader = await Uploader(Ethereum).withWallet(process.env.PRIVATE_KEY);
return irysUploader;
};Connecting to Devnet

To connect to devnet, append the functions withRpc() and devnet(). RPC URLs are required when using devnet.
import { Uploader } from "@irys/upload";
import { Ethereum } from "@irys/upload-ethereum";
const getIrysUploader = async () => {
// RPC URLs change often. Use a current one from https://chainlist.org/
const rpcURL = "";
const irysUploader = await Uploader(Ethereum)
.withWallet(process.env.PRIVATE_KEY)
.withRpc(rpcURL)
.devnet();
return irysUploader;
};
