+# Artifact checksums: Midnight 2.0 Stagenet beta (Q2)
+
+:::warning Draft
+
+This section is a draft shared for partner review. Content is subject to change and is not part of the published documentation set.
+
+:::
+
+SHA-256 checksums for the Q2 delivery components. All values are published and independently verifiable, except the ledger item noted at the end. Verified 2026-07-10.
+
+## npm components (SHA-256 of the published .tgz)
+
+Each file is the published `.tgz` from the npm registry; the SHA-256 is computed from that archive. To verify, download each `dist.tarball`, then run `shasum -a 256 -c`.

+```
+
+Tarballs on the public registry follow the pattern `https://registry.npmjs.org/<pkg>/-/<file>.tgz`. Note the organization split: Compact.js, Compact runtime, and Midnight.js are under `@midnight-ntwrk` (with a hyphen); the wallet SDK is under `@midnightntwrk` (no hyphen). npm also publishes an SRI `dist.integrity` (SHA-512) per version.
+
+Midnight.js is a meta-package: the root `.tgz` (about 3.4 KB) pins the scoped sub-packages (`-contracts`, `-protocol`, `-types`, `-utils`, `-network-id`) at the same version, which is where the code lives. `5.0.0-beta.4` is the Ledger RC3 stack build. If the full set is required, the sub-package tarballs hash alongside the root.

+```
+
+## Ledger
+
+Ledger 9.1.0.0-rc.3 is a Rust workspace built from source rather than a published tarball, so it carries no standalone SHA-256 in the list above. The delivered version is pinned by the git tag `ledger-9.1.0.0-rc.3` (commit `4823b53`) and builds reproducibly from that source through the repository's Cargo workspace and Nix flake. To verify, clone the tag and build. The wasm bindings (`ledger-wasm`, `onchain-runtime`) are distributed alongside for JS consumers.

+Source: [midnight-ledger at ledger-9.1.0.0-rc.3](https://github.com/midnightntwrk/midnight-ledger/tree/ledger-9.1.0.0-rc.3)
+
+## Notes
+
+- Compact.js 2.5.5-rc.6 covers Keccak and secp256k1; the single rc.6 tarball above serves both, with no separate build.
+- Containerized components (indexer, proof server) have no tarball and are verified by their SHA-256 registry image digest, anonymously verifiable on the registry.
+- The faucet is excluded: it is operational infrastructure run on Stagenet, not a SOW component, and it is reached by endpoint with no build or checksum.

+Delivery documents for the **Stagenet** environment: the tested component versions deployed on Stagenet so the Midnight Foundation and partners can exercise the delivered features. One document per stack; a new document is issued each time the Stagenet stack is promoted, for example RC2 to RC3.
+
+Stagenet is a release-candidate environment with no SLA that resets to genesis each quarter. Formal releases happen at Preview.

+## Component versions
+
+### Stagenet testing (Ledger RC3 compatible stack)
+
+| Component | Version |
+| --- | --- |
+| Ledger | [9.1.0.0-rc.3](https://github.com/midnightntwrk/midnight-ledger) |
+| Node | [2.0.0-rc.4](https://github.com/midnightntwrk/midnight-node/releases/tag/node-2.0.0-rc.4) |
+| Indexer | [4.4.0-pre-alpha.16](https://github.com/midnightntwrk/midnight-indexer) |
+| Proof server | [9.0.0-rc.5_experimental](https://hub.docker.com/r/midnightntwrk/proof-server) |
+| Compact compiler | [0.33.0-rc.2](https://github.com/LFDT-Minokawa/compact/releases/tag/compactc-v0.33.0-rc.2) |
+| Compact runtime | [0.18.0-rc.1](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@midnight-ntwrk/compact-runtime/v/0.18.0-rc.1) |
+| Compact.js | [2.5.5-rc.6](https://github.com/midnightntwrk/midnight-sdk/releases/tag/compact-js-v2.5.5-rc.6) |
+| Midnight.js | [5.0.0-beta.4](https://github.com/midnightntwrk/midnight-js/releases/tag/v5.0.0-beta.4) |
+| Wallet SDK | [2.0.0-beta.2](https://github.com/midnightntwrk/midnight-wallet) |
+
+:::note
+
+ZKIR v3 support requires the experimental build of the proof server. `--feature-zkir-v3` is a Compact compiler flag; contracts compiled with it must run against that experimental proof-server build.
+
+:::
+
+## How to access Stagenet
+
+- **Access model**: publicly accessible over RPC (TLS, under `stagenet.shielded.tools`), like Preview and Preprod. A brand-new chain with its own genesis, connected to Cardano through a partner-chain bridge.
+- **Wallet and setup**: use the wallet SDK version above; point tools and wallets at the RPC endpoint below. Endpoints and partner configuration are preserved across resets, so connection settings do not change. This reset regenerated the chain genesis, so Stagenet is a new chain and on-chain state is wiped: resync wallets from scratch, re-request faucet funds, and redeploy any contracts.
+- **View the chain in a browser**: open the Polkadot/Substrate apps explorer at [polkadot.js.org/apps → Stagenet](https://polkadot.js.org/apps/?rpc=wss%3A%2F%2Frpc.stagenet.shielded.tools#/explorer). No install is needed; if it warns about an unknown chain, continue.
+- **Faucet**: get a Stagenet address, open the faucet URL below, paste the address, and request tokens. A small daily rate limit applies per requester.
+- **Quick health check**:
+
+  ```bash
+  curl -s https://rpc.stagenet.shielded.tools \
+    -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+    -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"system_health","params":[]}'
+  ```
+
+  A healthy response has `isSyncing: false` and `peers` greater than 0.
+
+| Purpose | URL |
+| --- | --- |
+| Node RPC | `wss://rpc.stagenet.shielded.tools` |
+| Indexer (GraphQL) | `https://indexer.stagenet.shielded.tools/api/v4/graphql` |
+| Faucet | `https://faucet.stagenet.shielded.tools` |
+| Browser explorer | [polkadot.js.org/apps → Stagenet](https://polkadot.js.org/apps/?rpc=wss%3A%2F%2Frpc.stagenet.shielded.tools#/explorer) |
+
+## Policy IDs on Stagenet
+
+Stagenet has the same policy ID as Preview for cNIGHT:
+
+```text
+0xd2dbff622e509dda256fedbd31ef6e9fd98ed49ad91d5c0e07f68af1
+```
+
+Check this through [chain state on the Polkadot apps explorer](https://polkadot.js.org/apps/?rpc=wss%3A%2F%2Frpc.stagenet.shielded.tools#/chainstate), or in the [source code](https://github.com/midnightntwrk/midnight-node/blob/node-2.0.0-rc.4/res/stagenet/cnight-config.json).
+
+## Stagenet updates
+
+Stagenet continues to get updated as STL tests further and finds and fixes issues. Expect further RC versions deployed to this environment over the coming days. STL keeps MNF up to date on what is changing so that all interested parties can continue testing these delivered features on Stagenet.
+
+## Artifacts
+
+Download links and SHA-256 checksums for every component above are provided in the companion manifest: [artifact checksums](./artifact-checksums.mdx). It covers the npm packages (including Midnight.js 5.0.0-beta.4), the node release assets, the Compact compiler, and the proof-server and indexer image digests.
+
+Per the statement of work, the manifest carries a SHA-256 checksum per artifact. Containerized components with no tarball (indexer, proof server) are verified by their SHA-256 registry image digest, anonymously verifiable on the registry.
+
