# Networks

When referencing a network in an API call (for example, when creating a payment intent), the `network` field must be set to the symbol corresponding to the network you want to operate on.\
The mapping between networks and their symbols is detailed in the table below.\
For example, for the Bitcoin network, you should specify `BTC` as the value of the `network` field.
