An EVM-compatible Ethereum Layer 2 testnet, Blast Sepolia offers low-cost transactions and features Blast’s native yield model for ETH and stablecoins, ideal for developer testing.
Blast Sepolia Testnet is the EVM-equivalent test network for Blast, an Ethereum Layer-2 optimistic rollup, using Sepolia ETH as the native gas token. It’s used to safely test dapps, cross-chain bridging, and Blast-native yield mechanics (auto-rebasing ETH/stables) before mainnet, with typical performance on testnet of ~2–3s block times, sub-$0.01 average gas per transfer, and sustained tens of TPS with higher bursts depending on load.
Blast Sepolia is unique for its native yield model (auto-rebasing ETH and yield-bearing stablecoins) and dapp-focused revenue sharing that you can validate end-to-end on a low-cost L2 while retaining full EVM equivalence. Compared with many testnets, it pairs fast blocks and low fees (≈1–3s block intervals, <$0.005 typical gas) with high headroom under stress (bursts >100 TPS) and generally lower background activity, which reduces mempool contention; verify live figures on the Blast explorer when benchmarking.
Blast Sepolia 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 Blast Sepolia Testnet, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Blast Sepolia Testnet as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
