# Connecting to MAYAChain

The Network Information comes from four sources:

1. **Midgard**: Consumer information relating to swaps, pools, and volume. Dashboards will primarily interact with Midgard.
2. **MAYANode**: Raw blockchain data provided by the MAYAChain state machine. MAYAChain wallets and block explorers will query MAYAChain-specific information here.
3. **Cosmos RPC**: Used to query for generic CosmosSDK information.
4. **Tendermint RPC**: Used to query for consensus-related information.

{% hint style="info" %}
The below endpoints are run by specific organisations for public use. There is a cost to running these services. If you want to run your own full node, see the information [here](/node-docs/mayanodes/overview.md).
{% endhint %}

### Midgard

Midgard returns time-series information regarding the THORChain network, such as volume, pool information, users, liquidity providers and more. It also proxies to THORNode to reduce burden on the network. Runs on every node.

**Mainnet**

* <https://midgard.mayachain.info/v2/doc>

**Runs on every Node**

Port: `8080`

**Stagenet**

* <https://stagenet.midgard.mayachain.info/v2/doc>

### MAYANode

MAYANode returns application-specific information regarding the MAYAChain state machine, such as balances, transactions and more. Careful querying this too much - you could overload the public nodes. Consider running your own node. Runs on every node.

**Mainnet**

* <https://mayanode.mayachain.info/mayachain/doc>

**Runs on every Node**

Port: `1317`

### Cosmos RPC

The Cosmos RPC allows Cosmos base blockchain information to be returned. However, not all endpoints have been enabled.\

### Tendermint RPC

The Tendermint RPC allows Tendermint consensus information to be returned.

**Any Node Ports**

* MAINNET Port: `27147`
* STAGENET Port: `26657`
* TESTNET Port: `26657`

### **P2P**

P2P is the network layer between nodes, useful for network debugging.

MAINNET Port: `27146`

STAGENET Port: `27146`
