An EVM-compatible testnet using ANIME for gas, designed for low-cost, rapid smart contract development and deployment with thirdweb support (Chain ID 6900).
animechain-testnet is the public EVM-compatible test network for AnimeChain (chain ID 6900) where the native currency is the ANIME test token. It’s used to safely deploy and audit smart contracts, simulate cross-chain bridge flows, and test wallets/dApps with faucet-funded ANIME before mainnet. As of Sep 24, 2025, official performance metrics (avg gas cost, block speed, TPS, and network activity) are not publicly listed on the thirdweb page; expect testnet variability and benchmark in your own environment.
animechain-testnet stands out for its tight thirdweb integration—preconfigured RPC, SDK support, and one-click contract deploys—streamlining onboarding for bridge and dApp teams. It uses free ANIME test tokens and may be periodically reset, enabling near-zero effective fees and low‑risk iteration while mirroring AnimeChain’s EVM behavior for accurate compatibility checks. No canonical performance figures are published; typical testnets prioritize reliability over peak TPS, so validate gas costs, block times, and throughput against your target mainnet before launch.
animechain-testnet uses ANIME as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain ANIME by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge, or through faucets (for testnet).
To bridge ANIME to animechain-testnet, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select animechain-testnet as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on animechain-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 animechain-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 ANIME on animechain-testnet, ensure your wallet is connected to the animechain-testnet network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of ANIME to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
