Where the network is
The DevNet that halted in July is gone and is not coming back. A new network was launched from a fresh genesis on 29 August 2026 with the problems that killed the old one designed out: the treasury is held by a program that no person can move, every operator receives the same grant, and governance is one operator one vote, independent of stake.
The treasury distributor is deployed, and grants are being issued. Once your enrolment is approved, an operator stake grant is issued to you: a stake account delegated to your vote account, held by a program no person can move, with both the stake and withdraw authorities on your own wallet rather than ours.
Approval is a human step, so it is not instant. A person admits you to the operator roster; it does not happen automatically the moment you enrol.
The grant is an allocation of DevNet tokens on an independent test chain. They have no monetary value, cannot be sold, and are not an investment, and they are not Solana SOL — some tools display "SOL" for technical reasons. Running a vNode is not paid work and nobody is being paid to do it. There is no ticker and no exchange listing, by design.

Two commands: Run a vNode.
For the live validator census and current epoch, see the live network status.
A community-operated DevNet for the Xandeum protocol.
Not affiliated with or endorsed by Xandeum.
Nothing on this network is money, and nothing here is offered as money. Tokens on this network are valueless test tokens on an independent test chain: they have no monetary value, cannot be sold, and are not an investment. There is no ticker and no exchange listing, by design. Stake grants, commission and anything a vote account accrues are denominated in those same valueless test tokens. Operating a vNode is unpaid volunteer work.
They are not Solana SOL — some tools display “SOL”, and may even show a dollar price, because they are pricing an unrelated token. The correct reading of any such figure is $0.
This network does not provide Xandeum storage.
