An EVM-compatible Energi Testnet for the NRG blockchain, featuring on-chain governance, a self-funding treasury, and masternodes to test secure, low-fee smart contracts.
Energi Testnet is a public, EVM-compatible staging network for the Energi (NRG) blockchain that mirrors mainnet behavior so developers can safely test dApps, smart contracts, wallets, and cross‑chain bridge flows. It uses free NRG from a faucet, making effective gas costs near‑zero for users. Live performance metrics—average gas price, block speed, TPS, and network activity—are available on the testnet explorer for side‑by‑side comparison with other chains.
Energi Testnet stands out by combining Ethereum‑tooling compatibility with Energi’s built‑in on‑chain governance and a self‑funded treasury that are mirrored on testnet for realistic end‑to‑end validation. It also provides a bridge‑ready environment and real‑time observability of key metrics (gas price, block time, TPS, and mempool activity), enabling precise performance and cost benchmarking against other networks.
Energi Testnet uses NRG as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain NRG by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge, or through faucets (for testnet).
To bridge NRG to Energi Testnet, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Energi Testnet as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on Energi 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 Energi 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 NRG on Energi Testnet, ensure your wallet is connected to the Energi Testnet network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of NRG to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
