title: The Ocean Production Network
|
|
description: An introduction to the Ocean Production Network.
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
**At the time of writing, there was no live, running, publicly-available Ocean Production Network.**
|
|
|
|
Ocean Protocol makes use of several EVM-compatible networks, including:
|
|
|
|
- the Ethereum Mainnet (also called the Main Ethereum Network),
|
|
- various [testnets](/concepts/testnets/), and
|
|
- in the future, the Ocean Production Network.
|
|
|
|
The Ocean Production Network will be an EVM network of nodes ("keepers") running [Parity Ethereum](https://www.parity.io/ethereum/) software. Various Ocean Protocol smart contracts ("keeper contracts") will be deployed to it. It will be used for production use cases. It is also known by other names, including:
|
|
|
|
- The Main Ocean Network
|
|
- The Ocean Mainnet
|
|
- The Production-Ready Ocean Network
|
|
- The Ocean Live Network
|
|
- (among the internal dev team) The Ocean Pacific Network, or just Pacific
|
|
|
|
"Network" is sometimes shortened to just "Net."
|
|
|
|
[Ocean Tokens](/concepts/ocean-tokens/) can, in principle, live in any EVM-compatible network. The ones sold in the Ocean Protocol token sale were in the Ethereum Mainnet (and still were, at the time of writing). For more information, see [the page about Ocean Tokens](/concepts/ocean-tokens/).
