Mainnet is where I ship on Vanar — Vanguard is where I break things on purpose first.
If you’re building anything real, the difference matters: mainnet is for final state, while Vanguard is your rehearsal room for contracts, indexers, and wallet flows.
What I like about Vanar’s setup is it’s straightforward EVM plumbing (RPC + WebSocket), so you’re not reinventing your stack just to talk to the chain.
And Vanguard even exposes an archive WebSocket, which is clutch when you’re testing historical reads and event-heavy apps before you touch production.
Data check (right now): Vanar mainnet is Chain ID 2040; Vanguard testnet is Chain ID 78600 (separate endpoints, separate environment).
Live network pulse: the explorer currently shows 8,940,150 blocks, 193,823,272 transactions, and 28,634,064 addresses on mainnet.
My rule for $VANRY infra: Vanguard for testing + archive queries, mainnet for settlement—and I don’t ship until both look boringly stable.
