# Live Testnets

# Namada Testnets
Currently, while the Namada mainnet is live and has not reached Phase 5 of the mainnet launch, two public test networks are currently running, housefire and campfire.

For more context read:
### Housefire Testnet
This is a mainnet-tracking testnet and the intended primary staging ground for software upgrades and governance proposals.
Before Phase 5 of mainnet, it is used to test the proposals to advance between the phases.

[Announcing Namada Public Testnets](https://blog.namada.net/announcing-namada-public-testnets/)
Instructions to join and use the testnet are in [this webpage](https://testnet.housefire.tududes.com).

## Shielded expedition
### Campfire (??) Testnet
A more experimental testnet that is already configured to have full, Phase 5 functionality at genesis.
This network will be abandoned once the Namada mainnet and housefire testnet reach Phase 5 functionality.

<Callout type="info" emoji="👷">
For the shielded expedition, it is important to remember to add the `--memo` flag to every transaction. The memo should be filled with the `tpknam` submitted at the shielded-expedition registration period.
For example `namadac transfer --source me --target you --amount 10 --token naan --signing-keys my-key --memo tpknamq1337mypubkey1964qqqqqq`
</Callout>

<Callout>
As of version `v0.31.8` you must specify `--node http://127.0.0.1:26657` when running `namadac` commands. This is a temporary bug until the `namadac` client is updated.
</Callout>

The `balances.toml` file is located at `https://github.com/anoma/namada-shielded-expedition`.

- Namada Shielded expedition 2:
- From date: 6th of February 2024 18:00 UTC
- Namada protocol version: `v0.31.9`
- Cometbft version: `0.37.2`
- CHAIN_ID: `shielded-expedition.88f17d1d14`

## Namada protocol versions

A testnet might deploy different versions of the Namada protocol. To see in-detail what each protocol version includes, refer to the [GitHub changelog](https://github.com/anoma/namada/tree/main/.changelog), which specifies what changes have been made in between versions.
