# 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.
