An EVM-compatible blockchain testnet for dApp and smart contract experimentation, Arena-Z Testnet (Chain ID 9899) uses ETH for gas and supports standard Ethereum tooling.
Arena-Z Testnet is an Ethereum-compatible (EVM) test network that uses test ETH for gas and mirrors Arena-Z bridge logic so teams can validate cross-chain transfers, messages, and smart contracts without real funds. Primary use cases include end-to-end bridge QA, contract deployment pipelines, wallet/dApp integration testing, and performance experiments with faucet-funded accounts.
Arena-Z Testnet is unique for its tight focus on cross-chain bridge workflows in an EVM environment, enabling realistic bridge state transitions and message‑passing checks while remaining isolated for safe iteration. As of Sep 2025 there is no public explorer or official performance data (avg gas cost, block speed, TPS, network activity) to compare; in practice, faucet gas makes effective fees approximately $0 and latency/throughput vary by test scenario.
Arena-Z Testnet 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 Arena-Z Testnet, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Arena-Z Testnet as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on Arena-Z 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 Arena-Z 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 ETH on Arena-Z Testnet, ensure your wallet is connected to the Arena-Z Testnet network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of ETH to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
