Introduction to Devnet

Devnet provides developers with a sandbox environment to build and test data-driven applications. Developers can create powerful tools such as dashboards, arbitrage bots, and wallet trackers. The Devnet allows for experimentation and iteration without the risks associated with using real assets on a live network.

Zero-Cost Testing Environment

Devnet is a complete replica of our mainnet functionality running on our testnet chain. Get started immediately with free tokens from our faucet - no gas fees or financial commitment required!

Start building data application with Powerloom by setting up your own Snapshotter node on our devnet. For a comprehensive understanding of the Powerloom Protocol and snapshotter architecture, see our mainnet snapshotter introduction.

Our Devnet environment is designed to facilitate developers in:

Data Source Chains​

We currently support data collection from the Ethereum for our existing datamarkets, Uniswap V2 and Aave V3

ChainData Markets
Ethereum MainnetUniswap V2, Aave V3
