# Retired testnet 1952959480

**Who this is for:** developers or operators who find chain ID `1952959480` in an old tutorial, config file, or the current `/build/identity/on-chain-kyc-integration` page, and need to know it is not the live testnet.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Chain ID `1952959480` is a **retired network**. Its RPC (`https://testnet-rpc.lumia.org`) and its explorer (`https://testnet-explorer.lumia.org`) are both dead, connection-refused. **It is not Beam.** Beam (chain ID `2030232745`) is the live Lumia testnet. Do not use `1952959480` for anything, and do not treat it as an alternate name for Beam.
{% endhint %}

### The plain statement

`1952959480` is **not** Lumia Beam. It is a separate, older network that docs.lumia.org's own `/build/identity/on-chain-kyc-integration` page still labels, verbatim, **"Lumia Testnet."** That name collides with today's Beam testnet, and that collision is the source of most of the confusion around it. Older docs and tutorials that call `1952959480` "the testnet" or imply it is Beam are wrong; never relabel it as Beam.

| Chain ID    | `1952959480`                                                                            |
| Labeled as  | "Lumia Testnet" verbatim on `docs.lumia.org/build/on-chain-kyc`                         |
| RPC (HTTPS) | `https://testnet-rpc.lumia.org` is **dead**: no HTTP response, connection failure.      |
| Explorer    | `https://testnet-explorer.lumia.org` is **dead**: no HTTP response, connection failure. |

### What to use instead

Use **Beam**, the live Lumia testnet:

### Where this ID still shows up

* `docs.lumia.org/build/identity/on-chain-kyc-integration` uses `1952959480` in its KYC verifier request example. The corrected version of that guide lives at [`/build/identity/on-chain-kyc-integration`](https://app.gitbook.com/s/chmhPiVNAafGw48c4oU2/build-on-lumia/identity/integrate-on-chain-kyc-dev-guide) in this tree and should use `994873017` (mainnet) or `2030232745` (Beam) instead. See [`/reference/rest-apis/kyc-verifier-api`](https://app.gitbook.com/s/chmhPiVNAafGw48c4oU2/reference/rest-apis).
