 # Networks
 
-Monero offers three separate networks and blockchains: **mainnet**, **stagenet** and **testnet**. Every blockchain has its own genesis block and is entirely seperate from others. Also, corresponding p2p networks are separate.

+## Nodes & Explorers
+
+!!! danger "Spy Nodes and Explorers"
+    Be cautious when using **_any_** remote node or block explorer.
+
+    Malicious service providers may log and associate your IP address, TXIDs, and more.
+    If you must use Untrusted Nodes, use them over Onion or I2P.
+
+
+### Nodes
+
+- Nodes - Self-Hosted
+    - Run your own [node](../interacting/download-monero-binaries.md)
+    - Use a node which is controlled by somebody you trust
+
+- Nodes - Remote (Use an Onion or I2P node)
+    - Onion and I2P nodes @ [monero.fail](https://monero.fail/)
+    - Onion nodes @ [ditatompel.com](https://xmr.ditatompel.com/remote-nodes/)
+
+### Block Explorers - Self-Hosted
+
+- [Onion Monero Blockchain Explorer](https://github.com/moneroexamples/onion-monero-blockchain-explorer/)
+- [MoneroBlock](https://github.com/duggavo/MoneroBlock/)

 ## Stagenet
 
-Stagenet is what you need to learn Monero safely.
+!!! info ""
+    Stagenet is available for users and developers to learn and build on Monero safely.
 
-Stagenet is technically equivalent to mainnet, both in terms of features and consensus rules. Similar to mainnet, use the [latest official Monero release](https://getmonero.org/downloads/) to be compatible with stagenet.

-## Why stagenet and testnet coins have no value?
+    You can create a private version of the Testnet.    
+    A private testnet gives developers flexibility and control over the network.
 
-If mainnet and stagenet are technically equivalent then why only mainnet coins have value?
+    To learn how to run a private testnet, follow the guide from [Monero Examples](https://github.com/moneroexamples/private-testnet/)
 
-This is simply the convention community embraced. Value only comes from a shared believe that mainnet coins will be accepted by other people in the future.
