Frequently Asked Questions


1. What is ChainNet?

ChainNet is a revolutionary browser that allows you to host and access decentralized web content directly on-chain. It introduces a new protocol, web://, which lets you interact with smart contracts as if they were websites.


2. Why should I use ChainNet over traditional browsers?

ChainNet is designed specifically for the decentralized web (Web3). It offers enhanced privacy, security, and the ability to access uncensorable content hosted directly on the blockchain. It's the future of browsing for crypto enthusiasts and developers alike.


3. How do I access a contract's website using web://?

Simply enter the contract address in the web:// format in the ChainNet address bar. If the contract has the required functions (getWebPageHTML, getWebPageCSS, etc.), ChainNet will render the on-chain website. If not, ChainNet's AI-powered tools will help you find the associated website.


4. Can I host my website on-chain using ChainNet?

Yes! With ChainNet, you can use smart contracts to store your website's HTML, CSS, and JS directly on-chain, ensuring it remains immutable and censorship-resistant.


5. What are the benefits of holding $CHNT tokens?

Holding $CHNT tokens gives you access to premium features, early access to new tools, and a share of the revenue generated by ChainNet. It's more than just a token—it's your key to participating in the ChainNet ecosystem.


6. How does ChainNet ensure privacy and security?

ChainNet does not track your browsing activity and interacts directly with smart contracts on the blockchain, minimizing the risk of data breaches and unauthorized access. Advanced encryption protocols are used to protect your data.


7. What if my contract doesn’t have the necessary functions for web://?

If your contract lacks the getWebPage functions, ChainNet will use its Bittensor AI-powered tool to search the web for a related website or content. You can also update your contract to include these functions for full compatibility.


8. How do I install ChainNet?

You can download ChainNet directly from our official website. Currently, it's available for Windows, with macOS and mobile versions coming soon.


9. How can I participate in ChainNet’s development?

You can contribute by holding $CHNT tokens, providing feedback, participating in beta tests, or developing on-chain applications that integrate with ChainNet. Join our community to get involved!
