# Nodes

Sirious uses nodes for development, you can use pre-hosted ones or you can host your own, however the ladder doesn't really have a purpose if you are just fooling around ;D

Here's a list of all official nodes:

<table><thead><tr><th width="150" data-type="number">Rank</th><th width="150">Name</th><th width="295.9838709677419">URL</th><th data-hidden></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>1</td><td>test-net</td><td><a href="https://testnet.siro.pichisdns.com:5006">https://testnet.siro.pichisdns.com:5006</a></td><td></td></tr></tbody></table>

And of course the link for the local one:
