Network Configuration

Configure Algorand and Voi networks for deploying and interacting with smart contracts.

Available Networks

Algorand Mainnet Production

The production Algorand network. Use real ALGO. Contracts are permanent.

Algorand Testnet Testing

Test network with free ALGO from the dispenser. Reset periodically.

Algorand BetaNet Beta

Preview upcoming features before they reach Testnet/Mainnet.

LocalNet Local

Local development network. Requires AlgoKit or sandbox running locally.

Voi Mainnet Production

Voi Network mainnet - an AVM-compatible blockchain. Currently supports AVM version 10.

Voi Network

Voi is a separate AVM-compatible blockchain network supported by AVM Studio. Smart contracts written for Algorand can be deployed to Voi with the same tooling.

AVM Version Compatibility
Voi currently supports AVM version 10. Contracts compiled to target AVM 11 cannot be deployed on Voi yet. Ensure your project's Target AVM Version is set to 10 in Project Settings when deploying to Voi.

Getting VOI Tokens

To get VOI tokens, visit the Voi Fountain and connect your wallet to claim tokens. New accounts receive 1 VOI per claim, and all accounts can claim once per 24 hours.

Selecting a Network

When deploying or exploring contracts:

  1. Look for the network selector dropdown
  2. Click to expand the list of networks
  3. Select your target network
Tip
Always start with Testnet for development. Only deploy to Mainnet after thorough testing.

Custom Networks

Configure custom network endpoints in Settings → Networks:

Adding a Custom Network

  1. Go to Settings → Networks
  2. Click Add Network
  3. Enter network details:
    • Name - Display name
    • Algod URL - Node API endpoint
    • Algod Token - API authentication token
    • Indexer URL - Indexer endpoint (optional)
  4. Click Save

Network Overrides

Override default endpoints for built-in networks if you want to use your own nodes:

  1. Go to Settings → Networks
  2. Find the network to override
  3. Click Edit
  4. Enter your custom endpoints

Getting Testnet ALGO

To deploy on Testnet, you need testnet ALGO:

  1. Copy your account address from Settings → Signing Accounts
  2. Visit the Algorand Testnet Dispenser
  3. Paste your address and request ALGO
  4. Wait for the transaction to confirm
Note
The dispenser has rate limits. If you need more testnet ALGO, wait a few hours between requests.

LocalNet Setup

For local development without internet:

Using AlgoKit

  1. Install AlgoKit CLI
  2. Run algokit localnet start
  3. LocalNet will be available at http://localhost:4001

Default LocalNet Endpoints

  • Algod: http://localhost:4001
  • Indexer: http://localhost:8980
  • KMD: http://localhost:4002
