# Networks & Tools

- [Networks](https://docs.filecoin.io/networks-and-tools/networks.md): Available Filecoin networks for production, testing, and local development.
- [Mainnet](https://docs.filecoin.io/networks-and-tools/networks/mainnet.md): Mainnet is the primary Filecoin network. Mainnet began on block 148,888. It supports 32 GiB and 64 GiB sectors.
- [Explorers](https://docs.filecoin.io/networks-and-tools/networks/mainnet/explorers.md): A block explorer is a tool that allows users to view and search the contents of blocks on a blockchain. This page covers available explorers for the Filecoin mainnet.
- [RPCs](https://docs.filecoin.io/networks-and-tools/networks/mainnet/rpcs.md): Public RPC endpoints are available for the Filecoin mainnet.
- [Network performance](https://docs.filecoin.io/networks-and-tools/networks/mainnet/network-performance.md): You can use these heuristics to understand general Filecoin network performance and how it fits your use case.
- [Calibration](https://docs.filecoin.io/networks-and-tools/networks/calibration.md): The calibration network is the most realistic testnet simulation of the Filecoin mainnet.
- [Explorers](https://docs.filecoin.io/networks-and-tools/networks/calibration/explorers.md): The following block explorers are available for the Calibration testnet, listed in alphabetical order.
- [RPCs](https://docs.filecoin.io/networks-and-tools/networks/calibration/rpcs.md): Public RPC endpoints are available for the Calibration testnet.
- [Local testnet](https://docs.filecoin.io/networks-and-tools/networks/local-testnet.md): Local networks are a useful way to get started with Filecoin development. This guide covers how to start a local network using Lotus as the Filecoin node implementation.
- [Get test tokens](https://docs.filecoin.io/networks-and-tools/networks/local-testnet/get-test-tokens.md): Test funds are available to developer so that they can test their smart contracts and applications within the confines of a test network. This page covers how to get test funds from a local testnet.
- [Legacy networks](https://docs.filecoin.io/networks-and-tools/networks/legacy-networks.md)
- [Assets](https://docs.filecoin.io/networks-and-tools/assets.md): Manage FIL tokens, set up wallets, and transfer assets on the Filecoin network.
- [The FIL token](https://docs.filecoin.io/networks-and-tools/assets/the-fil-token.md): FIL is the cryptocurrency that powers the Filecoin network. This page explains what FIL is, how it can be used, and its denominations.
- [Wallets](https://docs.filecoin.io/networks-and-tools/assets/wallets.md): Wallets provide a way to securely store Filecoin, along with other digital assets. These wallets consist of a public and private key, which work similarly to a bank account number and password.
- [Metamask setup](https://docs.filecoin.io/networks-and-tools/assets/metamask-setup.md): MetaMask is a popular browser extension that allows users to interact with blockchain applications. This guide shows you how to configure MetaMask to work with the Filecoin
- [Get FIL](https://docs.filecoin.io/networks-and-tools/assets/get-fil.md): The most common way to get FIL is to use an exchange. You should be aware of some specific steps when trying to transfer FIL from an exchange to your wallet.
- [Transfer FIL](https://docs.filecoin.io/networks-and-tools/assets/transfer-fil.md): Due to the nature of Filecoin and Ethereum having different address types in the Filecoin network, the process for transferring FIL between addresses can be a bit nuanced.
