Depending on which environment your application is connecting, your blockchain transactions will be directed to a specific blockchain network.

Below you find an overview. It is possible to use different networks or your own infrastructure, by making use of the network parameter available as an option in several functions.

How to select an environment

By default, you will connect to our production environment

// use production environment
const arkaneConnect = new ArkaneConnect('CLIENT_ID');

To connect to the staging environment you add the parameter environment

// use staging environment
const arkaneConnect = new ArkaneConnect('CLIENT_ID', { environment: 'staging'});

How to select a network

By default, you will connect to the blockchain network as described above. Mainnet when connecting to our production environment and a certain testnet when connecting to staging.

//Using the default Kovan Ethereum testnet
{
  "walletId" : "cdc4c08a-b8fa-4e4c-z5a2-92c87b80f174",
  "to" : "0xdc71b72db51e227e65a45004ab2798d31e8934c9",
  "secretType" : "ETHEREUM",
  "data" : "0x",
  "value" : 1.15
}

By making use of the network object, you can change the node endpoint. In the example below we are connecting to the Rinkeby Ethereum testnet, instead of the default Kovan testnet.

//Using a custom node to connect to the Rinkeby Ethereum testnet
{
  "walletId" : "cdc4c08a-b8fa-4e4c-z5a2-92c87b80f174",
  "to" : "0xdc71b72db51e227e65a45004ab2798d31e8934c9",
  "secretType" : "VECHAIN",
  "data" : "0x",
  "value" : 1.15
}
