Official Network URLs
Official network URLs are the public entry points for Miden networks. Use the URL that matches the network you are targeting.
Official services generally use the following URL format:
https://<service>.<network>.miden.io
| Service | Type | Testnet | Devnet | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
rpc | gRPC/gRPC-Web | https://rpc.testnet.miden.io | https://rpc.devnet.miden.io | Public node RPC API endpoint. |
genesis | File download | https://genesis.testnet.miden.io | https://genesis.devnet.miden.io | Hosted genesis block for bootstrapping. |
tx-prover | gRPC | https://tx-prover.testnet.miden.io | https://tx-prover.devnet.miden.io | Transaction proving service. |
explorer | Web | https://explorer.testnet.miden.io | https://explorer.devnet.miden.io | Midenscan block explorer. |
status | Web | https://status.testnet.miden.io | https://status.devnet.miden.io | Network monitor webpage. |
transport | HTTP/API | https://transport.testnet.miden.io | https://transport.devnet.miden.io | Note transport layer. |
faucet | HTTP/API | https://faucet.testnet.miden.io | https://faucet.devnet.miden.io | Public faucet for obtaining funds on the selected network. |
RPC API
The public RPC endpoints use TLS. Tools such as grpcurl use the host name and port 443:
grpcurl rpc.testnet.miden.io:443 miden.node.v1.NodeService/Status
See gRPC API for schema discovery, endpoint groups, subscriptions, limits, and method-specific errors.
Genesis Block
Bootstrap commands can use the network name instead of downloading the genesis block URL directly:
miden-node bootstrap \
--data-directory full-node-data \
--network testnet
Use --network mainnet for mainnet or --network devnet for devnet. Genesis downloads use
https://genesis.<network>.miden.io.
Full nodes also accept --network mainnet, --network testnet, or --network devnet to sync from
https://rpc.<network>.miden.io. See Full Node Operation for startup options.
