# Devnet info

> Cluster, RPC endpoints, program IDs, the cUSDC faucet, and gotchas specific to devnet.

Continuum's MVP runs on Solana **devnet**. Mainnet launch is gated on audits and bug-bounty maturity - see [Roadmap](/markets/roadmap).

## Cluster

```
RPC:     https://api.devnet.solana.com
WS:      wss://api.devnet.solana.com
Cluster: devnet
```

For production work, use a private RPC (Helius, Triton, QuickNode) - the public devnet endpoint is rate-limited.

## Program IDs

| Program                               | Devnet ID                                      |
| ------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| `mint-redeem`                         | `5MBjhNUUguLTPNR5WG6YBUUw7vUcxQ14ARw3NsS3rKu4` |
| `oracle`                              | `5vxiCrDpFnQ2W5QtgZBC66K2XTC19bjVBjinGYYBsadC` |
| `clp`                                 | `8xauDRjw9XRyk4FE3hW1JKjD8nC87gfr59Xig1dJqLES` |
| `registry`                            | `REGnHqnJMxLoRAKX5RqPd9VJGcZBNgmg4xs5bVGGTap`  |
| `faucet`                              | `9tUeQAPEtVSB68NSfvFAqfwaB74GuVxm6Zbp1hrMiNKY` |
| `governance` (scaffolded, not active) | `6es5KcjMWKGhVWrttUytYiZ3YELXe4HQyrmsMVdbVawT` |

The same IDs are pinned in [`Anchor.toml`](https://github.com/continuum-markets/continuum/blob/main/Anchor.toml) on the protocol repo. Mainnet IDs will differ - when mainnet launches, this page will list both.

## cUSDC (devnet collateral mint)

```
Mint:     B1c5xBYkp7AAemYhcu4VuH4CU4sPJDDuG2iuv6ts38uE
Decimals: 6
```

This is **not** real USDC. It is a custom mint controlled by the Continuum faucet program for testing. Mainnet will use real USDC (`EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v`).

<Warning>
  Throughout these docs, we refer to the devnet collateral as **"cUSDC"** to distinguish it from real USDC. Code, env vars, and on-chain accounts often just call it "USDC" - but on devnet it's the test mint above.
</Warning>

## Faucet

The [`faucet`](/programs/faucet) program drips cUSDC to any wallet on a cooldown. Default drip is 1,000 cUSDC per request, with a per-recipient cooldown.

Quick CLI drip:

```bash theme={null}
git clone https://github.com/continuum-markets/continuum
cd continuum
bun install
bun run scripts/faucet-drip.ts
```

Or call the `drip` instruction directly - see [Faucet program](/programs/faucet).

## Live markets

Four markets are currently active on devnet. Full pubkeys (mints, pools, oracle configs) are in [Live markets](/markets/live).

| Symbol | Asset                      | Long mint                                      | Short mint                                     |
| ------ | -------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| `QQQ`  | Nasdaq-100 ETF             | `E4xJxBPyDXXJK2uqF17cq9kch1xHCTBZ6vjMxKWKANgZ` | `BisvPibkUJqix3ZzaeHCxJ2W7KqoroFpnyf55nzFoicG` |
| `SPY`  | SPDR S\&P 500 ETF          | `8mVLeXHpchLvt3WZRhRrAZYJ4oU3e2crVF1QEomgdDQ8` | `3n5x1QaXSSw5ysAK5zkMo1XSm52TwzTBK48RAfkeKJiu` |
| `XAU`  | Gold spot                  | `AoufiP54693dn9HKonVBn6W75tKe8eHq5ncTwjTz6i5c` | `9XjYivtQfhDitFJugsskP6LppL7JJzANWwc7kmybpd55` |
| `VXX`  | VIX short-term futures ETN | `9GAPZW9pE8jkwzupFDnheDU1X35kh7vUMQvBkDLRuQn8` | `3Dnogj7nRYKEVBfPaBVkGw1Zbj5j3Nhm7RtGSKJfssch` |

## Devnet-specific behavior

A few things to know:

### Oracle is keeper-driven on devnet

On mainnet, prices flow from Pyth on-chain feeds directly. On devnet, Pyth's RWA feeds are unreliable, so Continuum's keeper polls **Pyth Hermes** (HTTP) every 15 seconds and pushes observations into the oracle program. If you stop the keeper, prices stop updating - and the [risk state](/concepts/risk-states) transitions to `ProxyMode` after a staleness threshold.

You'll see this most often when:

* The keeper is restarting → expect 30–60s of staleness.
* After-hours TradFi sessions → Hermes still publishes but volumes are thin.

### TradingView pricing pre-NAV

Most devnet markets boot with `user_twap_price = 0`, in which case `L_NAV` falls back to `initial_l_price`. After \~5 minutes of keeper updates, the TWAP populates and NAV reflects real-time prices. If you're testing right after a deploy, your first mint may use the boot-time initial price.

### Flash-loan adapters disabled

The keeper's MarginFi/Kamino flash-loan adapters auto-disable on devnet (those protocols are mainnet-only). The keeper falls back to **direct mode** - using its own cUSDC balance for arbs. As an integrator, you don't need to think about this; it only affects keeper economics.

### Faucet cooldown

The cUSDC faucet has a per-recipient cooldown. If `drip` errors with `CooldownNotElapsed`, wait or use a fresh wallet.

## Frontend

The official frontend at [continuum.markets](https://continuum.markets) connects to devnet by default. You can also point a local clone at devnet:

```bash theme={null}
cd frontend
cp .env.example .env.local
# edit NEXT_PUBLIC_CLUSTER=devnet (default)
# edit NEXT_PUBLIC_SOLANA_RPC_URL=<your-private-rpc-or-public-devnet>
bun install
bun dev
```

See [SDK setup](/build/sdk-setup) for the same RPC + wallet setup in a non-Next.js context.

## Explorers

Devnet block explorers:

* [Solana Explorer](https://explorer.solana.com/?cluster=devnet)
* [Solscan](https://solscan.io/?cluster=devnet)
* [SolanaFM](https://solana.fm/?cluster=devnet)

The /pools page shows each native book's pinned price, deviation vs NAV, spread, and instant depth - larger orders route to committed execution automatically.
