3. Network Information

Kortana operates two primary networks: the Mainnet for production assets, and the Testnet for developer integration.

3.1 Testnet

• Name: Kortana Testnet
• Chain ID: 72511 (0x11B3F)
• Internal Config ID: kortana-testnet-1
• Currency: DNR (18 decimals)

3.2 Mainnet

• Name: Kortana Mainnet
• Chain ID: 9002 (0x232A)
• Internal Config ID: kortana-mainnet-1
• Currency: DNR (18 decimals)

3.3 RPC Endpoints & Rate Limits

Nodes expose standard HTTP JSON-RPC interfaces on port 8545. By default, nodes bind to loopback (127.0.0.1); public access is provided via edge proxies (nginx) which enforce rate limits to protect against DDoS attacks.

• Testnet RPC: https://poseidon-rpc.testnet.kortana.xyz/
• Mainnet RPC: https://zeus-rpc.mainnet.kortana.xyz/

3.4 WebSocket Endpoints

WebSockets (port 8546) are supported for live event subscriptions (newHeads, logs).

• Testnet WSS: wss://ws.testnet.kortana.xyz/
• Mainnet WSS: wss://ws.mainnet.kortana.xyz/

3.5 Faucet (Testnet)

Testnet DNR can be obtained from the official faucet. (Note: Ensure you are requesting to a wallet you hold the private keys for. The faucet distributes DNR for testing purposes; these tokens hold no real-world value.)

Part II — Core Concepts

This section details the fundamental architecture that powers the Kortana Blockchain. It covers how nodes agree on the state of the network (Consensus), how data is structured (Blocks & Transactions), how the ledger is maintained (State Management), and the economics of execution (Fee Market).
