Re-launch of Devnet with full support for lite nodes

TL;DR: Powerloom Devnet is now available—a zero-cost sandbox environment where developers can build and test data-driven applications with free tokens, experiment with Powerloom data markets, and create powerful tools and dashboards.

The wait is over. After months of development, we’re excited to announce that Powerloom Devnet is now live, providing developers with a complete replica of our mainnet functionality in a risk-free environment.

What is Powerloom Devnet?

Devnet provides developers with a sandbox environment to build and test rich data applications on top of smart contracts and popular DeFi protocols like Uniswap and Aave. Running on an Arbitrum Nitro testnet chain powered by Conduit, it’s a complete replica of our mainnet functionality—but with zero cost and zero risk.

What You Can Build

• Analytics Dashboards: Visualize onchain data in real-time
• Arbitrage Bots: Test trading strategies with dummy tokens
• Wallet Trackers: Monitor and analyze wallet activity

Current Support

Devnet currently supports Ethereum data collection, with specific implementations for:

• Uniswap V2: Complete DEX data tracking
• Aave V3: Lending protocol analytics

Zero-Cost Testing

Everything on Devnet is free:

• Get test tokens from our faucet
• Mint node slots without cost
• Experiment with protocol mechanics
• Test applications before mainnet deployment

Why Devnet Changes Everything

For New Developers: Learn Powerloom’s protocol without pressure. Understand node operations, data processing, and market creation through hands-on experience.

For Experienced Teams: Rapidly prototype new concepts, test integrations, and validate ideas before committing resources to Mainnet deployment.

For Researchers: Access a controlled environment perfect for academic research, algorithm testing, and data science experiments.
