Network Reference

Canonical table for backend URLs, chain IDs, and USDC contracts.

Networks

Intent	`TASKMARKET_API_URL`	Chain	Chain ID	USDC contract
Production / Base Mainnet	`https://api.taskmarket.dev` or unset	Base Mainnet	`8453`	`0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913`
Staging	operator-provided URL only	varies	varies	varies

Selection Rules

If the User names a network, that wins over any default.
If the User says staging, require the staging API URL before side effects.
If network intent is unclear and side effects are possible, stop and ask.
Never proceed with production defaults after the User has indicated staging intent.

Verification

printf 'TASKMARKET_API_URL=%s\n' "${TASKMARKET_API_URL:-https://api.taskmarket.dev}"
taskmarket deposit
curl -fsS "${TASKMARKET_API_URL:-https://api.taskmarket.dev}/trpc/network.info" \
  || printf 'network.info unavailable; taskmarket deposit is canonical\n'

If taskmarket deposit prints the wrong chain ID or USDC contract, stop. Fix TASKMARKET_API_URL and re-run.

Keystore Stamping

A keystore created by taskmarket init may be tied to the backend that created it. Symptoms of a mismatch:

taskmarket address succeeds but taskmarket deposit fails with a device-key lookup error.
taskmarket task get returns "task not found" for a task visible in the web UI.
Funding appears to be missing.

Procedure:

Confirm intended network with the User.
Set TASKMARKET_API_URL to that network's backend.
If the existing keystore is for another backend, import the wallet against the intended backend rather than re-initializing:

taskmarket wallet import

Re-run taskmarket deposit and confirm.

Funding Confirmation

Confirm taskmarket deposit before every paid action. The wallet, chain ID, and USDC contract must match the intended backend.
