| Description | Mainnet | Devnet | Long-lived Testnet | AIT |
| Purpose of the network | The main Jin network. | The devnet is built to experiment with new ideas, improve performance and enhance the user experience. | For executing the Jin Incentivized Testnet programs for the community. | |
| Network status | Always live. | Mostly live, with brief interruptions during regular updates. | Mostly live, with brief interruptions during regular updates. | Live only during Incentivized Testnet drives. |
| Type of nodes | Validators and validator fullnodes. | Validators and public fullnodes. | Validators and public fullnodes. | Validators and validator fullnodes. |
| How to run a node | See Validators and Public Fullnode sections. | N/A, run by Jin Labs team. | See Validators and Public Fullnode sections. | See the node deployment guides published during AIT program. |
| What not to do | Do not attempt to sync your local AIT fullnode or AIT validator node with devnet. | Make sure you deploy your local AIT fullnode, AIT validator node and AIT validator fullnode in the test mode, and follow the instructions in the node deployment guides published during AIT program. |
