Decimal Smart Chain Testnet is a public, risk‑free clone of the Decimal network that uses tDEL for gas, enabling developers to test dApps, smart contracts, wallets, nodes, and cross‑chain bridge flows before mainnet deployment. Primary use cases include end‑to‑end integration testing, performance and fee simulations, and CI/CD automation; average gas cost is effectively near‑zero (faucet tDEL), while block speed, TPS, and live activity vary and should be checked on the official explorer for the latest values.
What sets Decimal Smart Chain Testnet apart is its mainnet‑parity parameters tailored for the Decimal ecosystem and bridge testing, plus an open faucet that supports high‑volume transaction scenarios at minimal cost. It emphasizes fast confirmation and short block intervals for rapid feedback and provides standard RPC/WebSocket access; for comparison with other chains, consult the explorer’s current average gas cost, block time, TPS, and validator/activity metrics, which fluctuate with test load.
Decimal Smart Chain Testnet uses tDEL as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain tDEL by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge, or through faucets (for testnet).
To bridge tDEL to Decimal Smart Chain Testnet, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Decimal Smart Chain Testnet as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on Decimal Smart 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 Decimal Smart 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 tDEL on Decimal Smart Chain Testnet, ensure your wallet is connected to the Decimal Smart Chain Testnet network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of tDEL to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
