An EVM-compatible testnet, American Information Exchange lets developers safely test Ethereum smart contracts with ETH using standard tooling, identified by Chain ID 69854.
American Information Exchange is a testnet blockchain used by the cross-chain bridge to stage and validate transfers before mainnet deployment. Primary use cases include dApp integration testing, simulated cross-chain messaging, and fee/finality validation using ETH as the native gas token. As of Sep 2025, official performance metrics (average gas cost, block speed, TPS, and network activity) are not publicly published; check the network’s block explorer or RPC telemetry for real-time figures.
American Information Exchange is unique in that it mirrors Ethereum gas semantics (ETH as native currency) while isolating risk in a non-production environment purpose-built for cross-chain workflows. Unlike general-purpose public testnets, it can be upgraded or reset frequently to test edge cases across bridge routes, which helps teams validate execution, pricing, and monitoring pipelines end-to-end. For performance comparisons, no canonical metrics (avg gas cost, block speed, TPS, activity) are currently published, so use live explorer data when needed.
American Information Exchange uses Eth as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain Eth by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge, or through faucets (for testnet).
To bridge Eth to American Information Exchange, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select American Information Exchange as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on American Information Exchange 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 American Information Exchange 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 Eth on American Information Exchange, ensure your wallet is connected to the American Information Exchange network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of Eth to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
