Iagon Expands Insight With Cardano Testnet Access and Mesh Support

Iagon has expanded its Insight service since opening the public beta on September 30. The beta initially offered access to Cardano mainnet. Iagon subsequently announced support for Preprod, Cardano’s test network, and an integration with Mesh, a TypeScript toolkit for building Cardano applications.

Existing API Calls Work on Preprod

Insight gives applications access to Cardano ledger data through a hosted API. It offers its own interface alongside interfaces compatible with Blockfrost and Koios. Iagon confirmed that developers can use the same API key and compatible calls on both Preprod and mainnet.

For an application already using one of those interfaces, that means the team can test how it reads balances, tracks transactions, or handles unspent transaction outputs on Preprod. The integration can then point to mainnet using the same credentials and request format.

Mesh Connects Three Steps in a Transaction Workflow

Mesh SDK documents Insight as a provider that can retrieve ledger data, estimate the resources a Plutus script will use, and submit signed transactions. A developer can use it to look up the outputs needed to build a transaction, evaluate the script before signing, and send the signed transaction to the network.

All three operations use the same provider and API key. Insight hosts the nodes and indexers behind those requests, so applications can access the service without operating that infrastructure themselves.

Mesh Documents Its Insight Integration for Mainnet

The published Mesh integration guide covers mainnet. Iagon’s separate Preprod announcement applies to the Insight API and explicitly confirms that Blockfrost- and Koios-compatible requests work on the test network. Developers testing those requests can switch between the two networks by changing the API base address.
