What is DevNet?
===============

DevNet is an open, experimental Concordium network where the latest protocol features
and innovations are first introduced and tested before moving to more stable environments.

Our engineering team rolls out frequent updates across the entire development stack—from core protocol changes to SDKs and blockchain explorers—all for early testing.

.. note::
DevNet is an unstable and experimental environment. The network may be updated and reset regularly,
and APIs or data structures may change without backward compatibility.
However, the Concordium team typically provides advance notice about planned resets
or major updates.

Why join DevNet?
================

- **Be among the first** to build and test newly released Concordium features and developments.
- Our engineering team rolls out frequent updates across the entire development stack—from core protocol changes to SDKs and blockchain explorers—all for early testing.
- Give direct feedback on features, bugs, and documentation and help shape the future development and roadmap priorities for Concordium.
- Work with Concordium on your dApp idea and even receive a grant to develop it into production.


Who is DevNet for?
==================

We invite all developers and builders who want to help shape next-gen functionality on Concordium, including:

- Developers focused on payments, stablecoin integration, identity and zero knowledge proofs.
- Teams handling digital wallets and fiat on/off ramps, as well as identity checks.
- Anyone prototyping solutions that require access to new, unreleased protocol features.

================================
P10 DevNet - The next generation
================================

**Launch Date: December 5, 2025**

The P10 DevNet is the latest iteration of the Concordium experimental network. It is scheduled to launch on December 5, 2025.

Focus of P10 DevNet
====================

P10 DevNet is dedicated to testing the features slated for the next major protocol upgrade.

- **Sponsored Transactions:** Have the gas fees covered by a sponsored account instead of the account creating the transaction
- **Protocol Hardening:** Early stability and performance testing of the new P10 core protocol.

More features will be added in the following months as we round out the list of enhancements for protocol 10.

Register your interest for P10 DevNet
=====================================

We are compiling a list of early testers and partners who wish to be notified immediately upon the launch of P10 and receive pre-release communications.

To ensure you are among the first to get access and have priority support, `register your interest here <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1XOfI2l2B9J2iWNdNOW5GAIrpQ8tjOJTLHNDJq9BOoVk/viewform?edit_requested=true>`_.

**Ready to pioneer?** Explore, test, and help bridge Web2 and Web3 with Concordium's cutting-edge features on the new P10 DevNet.

============================================
P9 DevNet - Protocol-level tokens (archived)
============================================

**Status: Archived/For Reference Only**

The P9 DevNet was the previous iteration of the Concordium experimental network. It became public in April 2025 and focused primarily on the initial rollout and testing of protocol-level tokens (PLTs).

While the network may remain online for a period, all new feature testing has transitioned to the P10 DevNet. This page is kept for reference regarding the features and development timeline achieved during the P9 phase.

Primary features tested on P9 DevNet
====================================

The core objective of P9 DevNet was to enable early exploration, experimentation, and development of solutions utilizing Concordium's protocol-level tokens (PLTs).
This network successfully unlocked powerful new scenarios for payment processing, available only thanks to Concordium's ID-layer:

- **Geofencing Payments**: Conditional transactions based on geographic location (e.g., allowing payments only if the receiver is in the EU).
- **Verify & Pay**: Enable age-restricted purchases by integrating identity verification directly into the payment process
- **Scheduled Transfers**: Automate periodic payments, like rent or subscriptions.
- **Smart Payment Lock**: Execute transactions conditionally (e.g., payments triggered upon delivery or trade finance document verification).

P9 DevNet launch timeline
=========================

- **End of April 2025:** P9 DevNet goes live; invite-only building begins.
- **June 2025:** First two scenarios (Geofenced Payments, Verify & Pay) are delivered.
- **November 2025:** Delivery of second two scenarios (Scheduled Transfers and Smart Payment Locks).
