An EVM-compatible Cosmos testnet (Chain ID 9000) enabling Ethereum dApps with fast finality and low fees, plus native IBC interoperability and tEVMOS for testing.
Evmos Testnet is the EVM-compatible test network for Evmos (a Cosmos SDK chain using CometBFT) where developers deploy and validate Solidity smart contracts with tEVMOS using familiar Ethereum tooling. It’s used to rehearse cross-chain IBC transfers, ERC‑20↔ICS‑20 token mapping via the x/erc20 module, and governance or upgrade workflows before mainnet. Typical testnet performance: ~2–3s block time, 1–5 gwei gas price (simple transfers often <0.001 tEVMOS), and sustained 100–300+ TPS depending on validator set and load.
Evmos Testnet uniquely combines Ethereum-equivalent EVM execution with native Cosmos IBC, letting dApps interoperate with IBC chains without third‑party bridges while keeping Solidity, RPCs, and MetaMask workflows. Its x/erc20 token mapping and EIP‑1559‑style fee market enable predictable, low-cost transactions; typical metrics target ~2s finality, 1–5 gwei gas, and hundreds of TPS under load. Activity is strong for pre‑production: typically dozens of active validators and frequent upgrade drills for end‑to‑end cross‑chain testing.
Evmos Testnet uses tEVMOS as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain tEVMOS by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge, or through faucets (for testnet).
To bridge tEVMOS to Evmos Testnet, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Evmos Testnet as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on Evmos 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 Evmos 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 tEVMOS on Evmos Testnet, ensure your wallet is connected to the Evmos Testnet network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of tEVMOS to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
