Current constraints#
| Limitation | Impact | Workaround |
|---|---|---|
| Single validator | No fault tolerance: a restart, upgrade or crash halts the chain until it returns | Retries with backoff; check the status page |
| Resets | All state, programs, mints and balances can be wiped | Deploy from scripts; detect genesis changes |
| requestAirdrop disabled | No programmatic drip; scripts cannot self-fund | Fund test wallets from the faucet |
| No Solana gossip, by design | Kyvro is its own cluster; Solana wallets and tools default elsewhere | Point every tool at the Kyvro RPC and verify the genesis hash |
| Ledger pruning | Old blocks and transactions become unavailable | Query recent data; archive anything you must keep |
| No debug_* / trace_* | No execution traces beyond program logs | Simulate with simulateTransaction; emit logs for every value movement |
| No oracles or price feeds | No USD prices for any asset | Show test assets without prices |
| No bridges | Assets cannot move to or from other chains, by design | None needed on a test network |
| RPC rate limits not published | Heavy use may be throttled | Page queries and cache results |
What comes next#
Progress on these items, and on everything else before Mainnet, is tracked with evidence on the Road to Mainnet. Live health is on the status page.
