Note: The network ID for mainnet is 0 (where as it was 3 on testnet3). As such, please update your firewall to support these TCP ports:

• 4130 (previously 4133)
• 3030 (previously 3033)

Following this convention will ensure Aleo can better support multiple distinct testnets simultaneously after mainnet launch.
