Solana devnet identifiers
For direct access with the ar.io SDK
(ARIO.init({ backend: 'solana', programIds })):
| Program / mint | Address |
|---|---|
ario_core | 8Njx9wPkXiNzDCgjwVsJFRjpAEV34gGW3n8DzX3V23m1 |
ario_gar | 7WsDTrtZBsfKtnP33XkjuqXCY69JE7n4QVYpynqJCFxz |
ario_arns | 6EZNezcg4rc5hnh8HG34vGquT3WpW5xXypzPb24uyEpp |
ario_ant | DbHbRwUD1oAn1mrDSqtWtvwGcNrmhWdD2g8L4xmeQ7NX |
| ARIO mint | 6vTw5CysRXQ4ybbHkDUiisHWVsBeMtUzYvJqs2iqHyaN (6 decimals) |
Program IDs rotate. The staging programs are periodically redeployed, so the program
addresses above can change (the ARIO mint is stable). Always verify against the current values
shown copy-ready on the faucet, or read them from the ar.io
SDK's devnet constants — see advanced networks. If ArNS
resolutions return an unexpected x-arns-ant-program-id, you're likely on a stale program ID.
The ar.io SDK also hardcodes the staging ARIO mint as its DEVNET_ARIO_MINT, and reads the
payment mint from on-chain config automatically — so for the direct SDK path you generally only
need the program IDs.

Caveats recap
- Ephemeral: data purges after ~3 days. A name keeps resolving (the record lives on the devnet registry), but the data behind it disappears once purged.
- Testnet only: don't send real tokens or real cards; they're rejected, and there is no mainnet settlement.
- Shared and rate-limited: short ArNS names are reserved, the faucet is gated and rate-limited, and free-tier allowances are per-wallet and per-IP.
