## Development

First copy the configuration of the application you are starting:

```bash
cp .env.[environment] .env.local
```

Starting the app:

```bash
yarn nx serve explorer
```

### Configuration

Example configurations are provided here:

- [Mainnet](./.env.mainnet)
- [Devnet](./.env.devnet)
- [Capsule](./.env.capsule)
- [Testnet](./.env.testnet)
- [Stagnet1](./.env.stagnet1)
- [Stagnet2](./.env.stagnet2)

For convenience, you can boot the app injecting one of the configurations above by running:

```bash
yarn nx run explorer:serve --env={env} # e.g. stagnet1
```

There are a few different configuration options offered for this app:
