Sandbox Node: For testing in an isolated, single-node network without snarks

As of 1.2.0, the demo functionality is built into the standard daemon container, via the environment variable RUN_DEMO=true.
Just docker run -it --name mina-demo -e RUN_DEMO=true minaprotocol/mina-daemon:1.3.2alpha1-ccaa43c-CODENAME-devnet and go!

Step by Step Guide:

Check out our documentation for complete instructions on using this version to connect to Mainnet.
Docker only Make sure to run with --peer-list-url https://storage.googleapis.com/seed-lists/devnet_seeds.txt or add PEER_LIST_URL=https://storage.googleapis.com/seed-lists/devnet_seeds.txt to your .mina-env.

If you are running the correct version on the correct network DEVNET, mina client status will show:
