An EVM-compatible testnet for Bitkub Chain, using tKUB (Chain ID 25925) for low-cost, fast smart contract and dApp testing within Thailand-focused Bitkub ecosystem.
Bitkub Chain Testnet is an EVM-compatible network mirroring Bitkub Chain mainnet, using tKUB as the gas token so developers can safely deploy and validate Solidity smart contracts, ERC‑20/721 tokens, wallets, and cross‑chain bridge flows before production. Typical testnet metrics are ~5‑second block times, practical throughput in the low‑hundreds TPS, and near‑zero fees (gas commonly ~1 gwei tKUB via faucet), making it suitable for end‑to‑end QA and load testing.
Bitkub Chain Testnet stands out with short blocks (~5s), fast finality, and tight integration with the Thailand‑focused Bitkub ecosystem (Bitkub NEXT wallet, NFT, and exchange on‑ramps), delivering a streamlined path from test to mainnet. For comparison, transactions usually confirm in a few seconds with negligible average gas cost in tKUB and practical throughput in the low‑hundreds TPS, offering a cheaper, faster EVM experience than Ethereum mainnet while remaining fully Solidity‑compatible.
Bitkub Chain Testnet uses tKUB as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain tKUB by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge, or through faucets (for testnet).
To bridge tKUB to Bitkub Chain Testnet, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Bitkub Chain Testnet as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on Bitkub Chain 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 Bitkub Chain 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 tKUB on Bitkub Chain Testnet, ensure your wallet is connected to the Bitkub Chain Testnet network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of tKUB to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
