  Walrus provides a full public Testnet that mirrors Mainnet and runs against Sui
  Testnet. It is the sandbox for development: no real-value tokens, public HTTP
  aggregator/publisher endpoints, and a faucet path to obtain test WAL.
networks:
  - name: testnet
    purpose: development and testing before features graduate to mainnet
    tokens: test SUI + test WAL (no real value)

  - name: mainnet
    purpose: production
    tokens: real SUI + real WAL

  detail: >
    On testnet, obtain test SUI from the Sui testnet faucet, then exchange it for test
    WAL with `walrus get-wal` (or the CLI's get-wal flow). Storing a test blob then
    costs only test tokens.
  faucet: sui client faucet (Sui testnet) + walrus get-wal
notes: >
  Walrus publishes no fixed "magic" test identifiers (unlike a payments sandbox); the
  testnet is a real, separate live network. Any blob you store on testnet is still
  public. Never store secrets — use an encryption layer (Seal) for private data.
