0G-Newton-Testnet is the public test network for 0G, a modular blockchain built for AI-grade data availability and decentralized storage, using A0GI as the native gas token. It’s used to prototype and load-test high-throughput data availability, stream/persist large datasets, integrate AI/ML inference pipelines, and rehearse cross-chain bridging and indexing before mainnet; setup and test-token instructions are in the docs (https://docs.0g.ai/).
Unlike general-purpose chains, 0G-Newton-Testnet is optimized for AI-scale data with a modular stack that combines high-throughput data availability, verifiable storage, and low-latency streaming for model training and inference. For comparative performance, track key metrics on the live testnet—average gas cost (A0GI), block time/speed, TPS, and active users/transactions—which are actively tuned and may change across releases; see https://docs.0g.ai/ for current numbers and tooling.
0G-Newton-Testnet uses A0GI as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain A0GI by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge, or through faucets (for testnet).
To bridge A0GI to 0G-Newton-Testnet, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select 0G-Newton-Testnet as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on 0G-Newton-Testnet you can use thirdweb, which provides an easy way to build, monetize and scale your apps, games or agents. You can find detailed guides and documentation on https://portal.thirdweb.com to get started quickly.
To add 0G-Newton-Testnet to your wallet, you can connect your wallet and click on [Add to Wallet] button at the top of the page. Alternatively, you can add the network manually using the RPC URL and chain details and add it to your wallet's network settings.
To send A0GI on 0G-Newton-Testnet, ensure your wallet is connected to the 0G-Newton-Testnet network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of A0GI to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
