Environments

Zero Hash provides two distinct environments: Production and Certification.

Production

The Production environment exists for operating a live platform, submitting trades, managing deposits and withdrawals, and managing customers on your platform. It is recommended that applications conduct trial runs in the certification environment before executing live trades and consuming live market data.

Certification

Zero Hash has a Certification Environment which offers full settlement functionality using test funds. All funds are for testing purposes only.

The certification environment is available for applications to prove out and certify their readiness to work with Zero Hash systems.

New features and API changes are deployed in this environment and provide platforms the ability to test system updates prior to the changes moving into production.
