The Polkadot ecosystem enables multiple types of networks: a testnet, canary and mainnet. Below are the different networks.
- Turing Staging (TUR): testnet parachain; expect chaos and occassional downtime for the network; these tokens hold no value
- Turing (TUR): Kusama parachain (launched April 2022); this is a canary, expect chaos but limited/no downtime; these tokens do hold value
- OAK: Polkadot parachain (expected to launch November 2022); this is the mainnet
4Q2021 - Completed & Launched
