Development wallet selection
Choose the Development wallet that matches what you are testing:
- Mutinynet Bitcoin: Bitcoin-backed implementations, including both Node-backed Bitcoin and Credit-backed Bitcoin.
- Mutinynet USD: USD line-of-credit testing. Payments move over Bitcoin or Lightning while the wallet is denominated in USD.
- Voltage Cash: An experimental stablecoin test wallet. It is not currently live because the intended Tether-backed asset has not yet been minted.
