A developer-focused testnet blockchain for prototyping on-chain applications, identified by chain ID 123420001114 and using CAMP as its native currency.
Basecamp is a dedicated testnet blockchain for the cross-chain bridge, using CAMP as the native gas token and mirroring the production stack for safe experimentation. Primary use cases include dry-running cross-chain transfers and messages without real funds, integration testing of contracts and relayers, and realistic fee/route simulation with faucet-supplied CAMP.
Basecamp is purpose-built for interoperability workflows—tightly versioned with the bridge stack and tuned for pre-flight route simulation and end-to-end monitoring—rather than a general-purpose app testnet. Key performance markers for comparison (as of Sep 2025): average gas cost is negligible via faucet CAMP; target block speed is sub-5 seconds; achievable TPS is scenario-dependent (burst testing rather than a fixed cap); activity is primarily scheduled stress tests and CI pipelines, not organic user volume.
Basecamp uses CAMP as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain CAMP by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge, or through faucets (for testnet).
To bridge CAMP to Basecamp, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Basecamp as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on Basecamp 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 Basecamp 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 CAMP on Basecamp, ensure your wallet is connected to the Basecamp network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of CAMP to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
