Overview

testnet-02 was retired in January 2026 and its endpoints no longer resolve (verified NXDOMAIN), but the README still told new users to set CFG_PRESET=testnet-02 as the example preset — sending every new integrator to a dead network first.

Changes:

  • README: the CFG_PRESET example no longer points at the retired network; added a short Networks section documenting the current public networks (preview, preprod, mainnet), the docs page for endpoints/migration, and the status of the presets shipped in this repo.
  • .envrc.testnet-02: marked as RETIRED (kept for reference; no behavior change).

No config or behavior changes — documentation only. The default CFG_PRESET in .envrc is intentionally left untouched: the only other in-repo preset (qanet) targets an internal network, and updated presets for the public networks need the newer chain-config schema and node image, which is a maintainer decision (tracked in midnightntwrk/midnight-docs#1172).

testnet-02 was shut down in January 2026 and its endpoints no longer
resolve (NXDOMAIN), but the README still told new users to set
CFG_PRESET=testnet-02 as the example preset. Document the retirement
in the README (with the current public networks and a pointer to the
networks documentation) and mark the testnet-02 preset file as
retired.

Contributes to midnightntwrk/midnight-docs#1172 (stale testnet-02
references) and references midnightntwrk#76 (testnet-02 preset broken with newer
node images).
