MarsChain testnet is an EVM-compatible sandbox for the MarsC ecosystem (native token: MarsC) exposed via thirdweb’s chain profile 70485, used for safe dApp, smart contract, and cross-chain bridge testing without mainnet risk. Primary use cases include end-to-end bridge simulations (lock/mint/burn flows), gas estimation, routing, and wallet/RPC integration. Key performance metrics (average gas cost, block speed, TPS, and network activity) are not officially published as of Sep 2025; check the thirdweb chain page or explorer for live values before benchmarking.
MarsChain testnet stands out for seamless thirdweb integration—preconfigured RPC, SDK/tooling support, and faucet-driven MarsC gas—enabling rapid, low-cost iterative testing with full EVM parity (Solidity/Hardhat/Foundry). This makes it ideal for cross-chain bridge developers who need predictable confirmations and easy infra setup while isolating test traffic from mainnet. For comparisons, official averages for gas cost, block speed, TPS, and activity are not publicly posted as of Sep 2025; verify real-time metrics on the chain’s explorer to tune bridge parameters accurately.
MarsChain testnet uses MarsC as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain MarsC by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge, or through faucets (for testnet).
To bridge MarsC to MarsChain testnet, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select MarsChain testnet as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on MarsChain 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 MarsChain 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 MarsC on MarsChain testnet, ensure your wallet is connected to the MarsChain testnet network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of MarsC to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
