| ### Choosing the Right Payment Method |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
@spacesailor24 wondering how we might word this given our discussion today about the relayer and payment delegation DB not necessarily being maintained long-term. So maybe we can suggest the relayer + payment delegation DB for rapid prototyping for now, and moving to self-hosted versions of those and/or direct capacity credit integration for production? Defer to your judgement on the best flow, since you've been helping people with this directly.

Probably helpful to also tell people how they ought to go about self-hosting these services to get production-ready (where the code lives, things to consider, etc.) somewhere. Maybe in the repos for those tools themselves, with a link to them here?

After the discussion on the strategy call, it seems like we'll be supporting these services for users, however I think it's still unclear to what capacity i.e. will this support user's production apps, or is this still for prototyping

| Like other decentralized networks, Lit has a certain amount of computation available for users that's metered to allow for a responsive network with nodes that are able to stay in-sync with one another. | ||

| In order to use the paid pre-production ([Datil-test](../connecting-to-a-lit-network/testnets#datil-test)) and production ([Datil](../connecting-to-a-lit-network/mainnets#datil)) Lit networks, you must reserve capacity on the network. This is done using by minting Capacity Credits, and by making use of the Lit Relayer and/or the Payment Delegation Database. |

Maybe we can simplify and say "In order to use the decentralized testnet (datil-test) and production-ready mainnet beta (datil) you will need to reserve capacity on the network using capacity credits. You can mint credits using the relayer and / or the payment DB"

IMO this wording is a little confusing. Maybe we can just say that the Lit network meters usage to ensure that optimal performance is maintained for all users, which is accomplished by allowing all users to reserve capacity on the network based on how much usage they require

| When using the Lit networks, whether it's the decentralized testnet ([Datil-test](../connecting-to-a-lit-network/testnets#datil-test)) or the production-ready mainnet beta ([Datil](../connecting-to-a-lit-network/mainnets#datil)) - you'll need to pay for and reserve your usage. This is accomplished using *Lit test tokens* and *Capacity Credits*. |

should we leave out the mention of test tokens here? As the credits themselves are how the capacity is reserved and the tokens are just a means of paying for the credits (which could be abstracted for the sake of simplicity imo)
