Mainnet

A blockchain's production network, where its assets and transactions have their normal economic role.

PLAIN-ENGLISH DEFINITION

In more detail

Mainnet is the live environment, separate from networks used for testing. Deploying the same code or using a similar address on another network does not merge their histories or balances. The network selected in a wallet therefore matters just as much as recognizing the token name or account address.
