Mainnet
Join Hedera Mainnet
Overview
The Hedera mainnet (short for main network) is where applications are run in production, with transaction fees paid in HBAR. 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 here.
If you're looking to test your application (or just experiment), please visit Testnet Access. 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.
