# Choosing a Testnet
|
||||
|
||||
Solana maintains several testnets, each featuring a Solana-owned validator
|
||||
that serves as an entrypoint to the cluster.
|
||||
|
||||
Current testnet entrypoints:
|
||||
|
||||
* Stable: devnet.solana.com
|
||||
|
||||
Application developers should target the Stable testnet. Key differences
|
||||
between the Stable testnet and what will be mainnet:
|
||||
|
||||
* Stable testnet tokens are not real
|
||||
* Stable testnet includes a token faucet for application testing
|
||||
* Stable testnet may be subject to ledger resets
|
||||
* Stable testnet typically runs a newer software version than mainnet
|
||||
* Stable testnet may be maintained by different validators than mainnet
|
||||
|
||||
The Beta testnet is used to showcase and stabilize new features before they
|
||||
are tagged for release. Application developers are free to target the Beta
|
||||
testnet, but should expect instability and periodic ledger resets. Regarding
|
||||
stability, all that can be said is that CI automation was successful.
|
||||
|
||||
### Get Testnet Version
|
||||
|
||||
You can submit a JSON-RPC request to see the specific software version of the
|
||||
cluster. Use this to specify [the software version to install](../install-solana.md).
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1, "method":"getVersion"}' devnet.solana.com:8899
|
||||
```
|
||||
Example result:
|
||||
`{"jsonrpc":"2.0","result":{"solana-core":"0.21.0"},"id":1}`
|
||||
|
||||
## Using a Different Testnet
|
||||
|
||||
This guide is written in the context of devnet.solana.com, our most stable
|
||||
cluster. To participate in another testnet, modify the commands in the following
|
||||
pages, replacing `devnet.solana.com` with your desired testnet.
