Connecting to a Openverse Environment

When you are working on Openverse development, you will need to connect to a specific RPC API endpoint. Openverse has 3 public development environments:

Connect using the network moniker​

To connect to the public RPC endpoint using its "moniker" or name:

import { clusterApiUrl, Connection } from "openverse-web3";

const connection = new Connection(clusterApiUrl("mainnet-beta"), "confirmed");

Connect using a specific RPC URL​

To connect to a specific RPC API endpoint, either local test validator or a remote RPC provider use the following:

import { Connection } from "openverse-web3";

// This will connect you to your local validator
const connection = new Connection("https://api.devnet.openverse.network:8899", "confirmed");
