Discover the various testnet environments available on Cardano to select the one best suited for your testing needs.

## Early-stage testing networks

### SanchoNet

SanchoNet is an early-stage testnet environment for testing CIP-1694 on-chain governance mechanisms.

### Preview

Preview is the network environment for testing release candidates
and expanded test scenarios. Preview is meant for DApps, stake pool operators
(SPOs), and exchanges who wish to test mature release candidates.

## Late-stage testing networks

### Pre-production

Pre-production is the most mature network for testing purposes, which resembles
a production (mainnet) environment. It is meant for exchanges, SPOs,
pre-deployment DApps, and wallets that wish to test release functionality before
deploying on mainnet.

### Production network (mainnet)

Production is the live network, also referred to as mainnet. It features
official functionality releases. Exchanges, SPOs, DApps, wallets, and end users
can use the mainnet for development, transaction processing, and other needs.
