Which Network Should I Use, Cypress or Baobab?
Hello. This is Klaytn API Service team.
Please refer to the following information about Cypress and Baobab.
Cypress and Baobab are Klaytn’s networks. Each network operates with the following characteristics
and purposes, so please refer to the below information when choosing a network.
[Cypress]
Cypress is Klaytn's main network operating through the consensus of the Governance Council (GC).
A network is a stable binary version, and with the consensus of sufficient GCs, binary changes are applied. We recommend using Cypress when you want to implement the actual service for users.
Due to the termination of the Fee Delegation policy on July 31st, a fee payment account should be set up to use the service on the mainnet, Cypress. For setting up the fee payer account for transaction fee, please refer to the Guideline and Final Announcement for the Termination of Klaytn’s 1st Anniversary Fee Delegation Policy for the details.
Also, please refer to the below information and resources regarding Cypress network.

[Baobab]
Baobab is available to anyone as it is a testnet. You can test the features of blockchain, such as developed applications or contents and there's no cost of testing. If you would like to test before developing Bapp and actual service implementation, we recommend using the Baobab network.
You can receive a test KLAY for the transaction fee that will occur on the Baobab network.
This is sufficient for development, testing and you will receive 5 KLAYs per day for free. For further details, please refer to How To Use Klaytn API Service Baobab And How To Receive KLAY For Testing.
(CAUTION: KLAYs received from Baobab are KLAYs for testing only. Actual transaction results can be seen in Klaytnscope, but test KLAY does not affect actual service implementation.)
