MultiversX uses some constants, which are specific to each chain (Mainnet, Testnet or Devnet). The updated values can be found at these sources:

Testnet:

Devnet:

important

Each transaction requires a chainID field that represents the network's identifier. It adds protection so that transactions cannot be replayed from a network to another. The values are:

  • Mainnet: 1
  • Testnet: T
  • Devnet: D
