Bitcoin has test networks, such as Signet, Testnet3, and Testnet4, that developers use to try out new things without real risk. Signet is more stable and reliable, Testnet3 is older but has its issues, and Testnet4 is an improved version. Then, in mining, there are methods like 'getblocktemplate,' which helps create a new block, and 'submitblock,' which is basically submitting that block to the network. This all sounds technical, but it's super useful if you're new to Bitcoin.
