# A2.0: Setting Up a Bitcoin Regtest
While developing Bitcoin applications, you might want to use your applications isolated from any public Blockchain such as the Mainnet or the Testnet.
You can create a Blockchain from scratch using the Regtest, with one main advantage over Testnet: you choose when to create new blocks, so you have complete control over the environment.
## Objectives for This Chapter
After working through this chapter, a developer will be able to:
* Create your own Blockchain from scratch
* Generate/mine blocks and get the rewards
* Get balance and interact with Bitcoind in a private way
