Intro to Evonet

The Dash Platform development and testing network

❗️

Dash Platform on Testnet

As of Dash Platform v0.17, platform services are now deployed on the Dash testnet and Evonet has been shutdown. Please refer to this page for testnet information.

Overview

Evonet is the initial development network provided for experimentation and evaluation of Dash Platform features. This marks the first release of the core Dash Platform components in a freely accessible network.

Evonet Stability

As a development network, Evonet may be subject to frequent updates and changes that break backwards compatibility.

Network Details

Infrastructure

Dash Core Group provides the core Evonet infrastructure consisting of 50 masternodes running Dash Core along with the platform services that provide the decentralized API (DAPI) and storage (Drive) functionality.

Evonet also includes a block explorer for the core blockchain and a test Dash faucet that dispenses funds to users/developers experimenting on the network.

Features

With this initial public release of the core Dash Platform components, the features available on the platform include:

• Dash Platform Name Service (DPNS): a data contract and supporting logic for name registration
• Identities: creation of identities
• Names: creation of DPNS names that link to an identity

In the near future, the DashPay data contract will also be registered on Evonet.
