Network Configuration

Red Sentinel supports both Mainnet (production) and Testnet (development) environments. This guide explains how to configure your integration for each network.

Quick Reference


Mainnet Configuration

Mainnet is the production environment where real transactions occur with actual SUI and SENTINEL tokens.

Best Practices

Always test on Testnet first
Before deploying to Mainnet, thoroughly test your Sentinel configuration and attack/defense strategies on Testnet.
Never use Mainnet funds for testing
Mainnet transactions use real SUI that cannot be recovered. Always use Testnet for experimentation.
Monitor gas prices
Mainnet gas prices fluctuate based on network congestion. Testnet has more predictable (and free) gas costs.
