A Layer 2 testnet on the Algen Network enabling scalable, low-cost transactions, with ALG as native currency and Chain ID 8922 for developer experimentation.
Algen Layer2 Testnet is a public Layer 2 testing network that uses ALG as the native gas token. It provides a safe environment to deploy smart contracts, wallets, and cross-chain bridge flows before mainnet, using faucet ALG and non-final parameters. Assets have no real value and the network may undergo resets or upgrades during testing.
Algen Layer2 Testnet stands out by offering ALG-denominated, faucet-based gas for rapid iteration and risk-free interoperability testing, making it ideal for bridge-integration staging. For performance comparison, use the official resources (https://www.algen.network) and its explorer to review average gas price (in ALG), block time, throughput (TPS), and daily active addresses—stable, audited figures have not been published as of Sep 2025.
Algen Layer2 Testnet uses ALG as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain ALG by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge, or through faucets (for testnet).
To bridge ALG to Algen Layer2 Testnet, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Algen Layer2 Testnet as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
