# Ethereal Clusters

## EtherealNetwork Clusters

EtherealNetwork maintains several different clusters with different purposes.

Before you begin make sure you have first installed the EtherealNetwork command line tools

Explorers:

* <http://native.Ethereal.com/> Native explorer.
* <http://evmexplorer.Ethereal.com/> EVM mainnet explorer.
* <http://evmexplorer.testnet.Ethereal.com/> EVM testnet explorer.

* Testnet serves as a playground for anyone who wants to take EtherealNetwork for a test drive, as a user, token holder, app developer, or validator.
* Application developers should target Testnet.
* Potential validators should first target Testnet.
* Key differences between Testnet and Mainnet:
* * Testnet tokens are **not real**
  * Testnet includes a token faucet for airdrops for application testing
  * Testnet may be subject to ledger resets
  * Testnet typically runs a newer software version than Mainnet Beta
* Gossip entrypoint for Testnet: `bootstrap.testnet.`Ethereal`.com:8001`

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://ethereals-blockchain.gitbook.io/ethereal-chain-documentation/clusters/ethereal-clusters.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
