+# Polkadot Development Networks
+
+The development and testing networks and resources presented here are intended for Polkadot core developers, Parachain developers, 
+application developers as well as the end users.
+

+
+Polkadot Core Developers typically test upgrades on a local development node. Then they are deployed and tested on [Westend](#westend). 
+After rigorous testing on Westend, the upgrades make their way to Kusama and eventually on to Polkadot.
+
+Parachain developers use local testnets powered by tools like [Zombienet](#zombienet) and then deploy the upgrades on their respective
+parachains on either [Rococo](#rococo) or [Paseo](#paseo) networks.
+
+Application developers and end users of Polkadot ecosystem can test many features without risking or spending their tokens on production 
+networks networks by using tools like [Chopsticks](#chopsticks).
+
+## Kusama Network
+
+Kusama is the experimental development network for teams who want to innovate, move fast and test their applications on a
+production grade environment with economics and game theory involved. It comprises of a relaychain with its own governance, system chains 
+and parachains.
+
+Native Token: KSM
+
+## Test Networks
+
+The tokens for the test networks listed below are available through [faucet.polkadot.io](https://faucet.polkadot.io/){target=\_blank} 
+
+### Westend
+
+A perma-testnet (that is not reset back to genesis block) intended for Polkadot core developers and maintained by Parity Technologies. 
+Primarily used to test features that are to be deployed onto Kusama and then to Polkadot. 
+
+Native Token: WND
+
+### Paseo
+
+A community-run testnet which mirrors the Polkadot runtime that is intended for parachain developers. It is maintained by the members of 
+Polkadot community.
+
+Native Token: PAS
+
+### Rococo
+
+Soon to be deprecated testnet intended for parachain developers. It is maintained by Parity Technologies.
+
+Native Token: ROC
+
+## Local Test Networks
+
+### Zombienet
+
+[Zombienet](https://github.com/paritytech/zombienet){target=\_blank} is a testing framework for Polkadot SDK based blockchains, providing 
+a simple cli tool that allows users to spawn and test ephemeral networks. 
+
+### Chopsticks
+
+[Acala Chopsticks](https://github.com/AcalaNetwork/chopsticks){target=\_blank} lets you create a fork of any Polkadot SDK based blockchain 
+and interact with it. This tool can also be used for testing cross chain applications.
