Migrate to Mainnet

The Verida Mainnet is now live and the Verida protocol libraries have been updated to manage most of the complexity of the mainnet upgrade.

As a developer, there are just three things you need to focus on.

1. Upgrade to the latest libraries​

There is a new 3.0.0 release of the protocol that supports mainnet.

You will need to run yarn update on all @verida/xxx packages used by your project.

ie: yarn update @verida/client-ts @verida/account-web-vault

2. Specify Verida EnvironmentType.MAINNET​

In your code that connects to the Verida network, replace references of EnvironmentType.TESTNET to EnvironmentType.MAINNET

3. Server side app changes​

(Not required for web applications)

Server side applications may be manually creating accounts on the Verida network and paying MATIC for those blockchain transactions. The Verida mainnet runs on Polygon PoS network, so you will need to replace your authentication code webConfig.privateKey with a Polygon PoS mainnet private key with sufficient MATIC to create blockchain accounts.
