An EVM-compatible Avalanche Subnet testnet using JEWEL as gas, optimized for the DeFi Kingdoms GameFi ecosystem with low fees, rapid finality, and developer testing.
DFK Chain Test is the EVM-compatible Avalanche Subnet testnet for DeFi Kingdoms that uses JEWEL as the native gas token. It is used to validate game mechanics, AMM/DEX swaps, liquidity, NFTs/quests, and cross-chain bridge flows before mainnet. Key metrics (testnet): block speed ~1–3s; avg gas cost ~$0 (faucet JEWEL); throughput hundreds+ TPS; activity bursts during coordinated playtests—faster and cheaper than Ethereum testnets (~12s blocks).
DFK Chain Test is unique because it is a game-optimized subnet with JEWEL-denominated gas and full EVM tooling, delivering predictable low fees and fast finality for high-frequency in-game transactions. Performance profile: low-single-digit-second blocks, negligible testnet gas, and hundreds+ TPS capacity, enabling responsive swaps, quests, and NFT interactions across a cross-chain bridge. Compared with shared L1/rollup testnets, it reduces confirmation latency and fee variability, improving UX for builders and players.
DFK Chain Test uses JEWEL as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain JEWEL by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge, or through faucets (for testnet).
To bridge JEWEL to DFK Chain Test, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select DFK Chain Test as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
