Overview

The Hedera mainnet (short for main network) is where applications are run in production, with transaction fees paid in . Any application or retail user can submit transactions to the Hedera mainnet; they're automatically consensus-timestamped and fairly ordered.

Any Hedera account can query data associated with Hedera's services and stored on-chain. Every transaction requires payment as a transaction fee denominated in tinybars (100,000,000 tℏ = 1 ℏ). You can learn more about transaction fees and estimate your application costs .

If you're looking to test your application (or just experiment), please visit . The Hedera testnet enables developers to prototype and test applications in a simulated mainnet environment that uses test HBAR for paying transaction fees.

Transaction Throttles Transactions on the Hedera Mainnet are currently throttled. You will receive a "BUSY" response if the number of transactions submitted to the network exceeds the threshold value.
