# Networks and endpoints

**Who this is for:** anyone who needs to copy a network value into a wallet, config file, or script, and anyone who needs to know what permission mode that environment runs under before they connect. This page is the single source of truth: every other page should link here rather than restate a value.

### A note on names

Lumia's live production network is called **Lumia Prism**. Where you see "mainnet" here it means Prism; the two names refer to the same network, chain ID `994873017`. The testnet is called **Beam**.

### A note on two different "Lumia Testnet" names

docs.lumia.org's `/build/identity/on-chain-kyc-integration` page states chain ID `1952959480` and labels it, verbatim, **"Lumia Testnet."** It does not call this network "Beam". That network is retired: its RPC (`https://testnet-rpc.lumia.org`) and explorer (`https://testnet-explorer.lumia.org`) both refuse the connection live. Full deprecation notice and migration steps: [`/reference/retired-testnet`](https://app.gitbook.com/s/chmhPiVNAafGw48c4oU2/reference/retired-testnet-1952959480).

The live, current testnet is **Beam**, chain ID `2030232745`. chainid.network's registry lists three separate Lumia entries: mainnet (`994873017`), the retired "Lumia Testnet" (`1952959480`, dead RPC/explorer as above), and Beam (`2030232745`, live `beam-rpc.lumia.org` / `beam-explorer.lumia.org`). This three-way listing resolves which chain ID belongs to which network. All Beam values below are for the network this doc site actually points builders at (faucet, MetaMask guides, bridge).

**DA layer**

Avail DA, per docs.lumia.org's Data Availability section (validium model).

**Permission model**

Lumia's chain layer is permissionless: any address can transact. Compliance checks, where an application chooses to enforce them, live at the application layer, not the network layer. This does not vary by environment. See [Permissionless base, permissioned app layer](https://app.gitbook.com/s/chmhPiVNAafGw48c4oU2/ecosystem/lumia/compliance/permissionless-base-permissioned-app-layer).

{% hint style="danger" %}
Chain ID `1952959480` is a **retired network**. Its RPC and explorer are dead. **It is not Beam.** Do not use `1952959480` for anything, and do not treat it as an alternate name for Beam.
{% endhint %}

Referenced by docs.lumia.org's `/build/identity/on-chain-kyc-integration` page under this exact name. Do not use it. It is dead infrastructure, not an alternate name for Beam.
