Fluent Testnet is a developer-focused testnet (Chain ID 20994) using ETH for gas, enabling safe, low-cost dApp and smart contract testing before mainnet deployment.
Fluent Testnet is an EVM-compatible test network for the Fluent ecosystem that uses ETH as the native gas token. It provides a safe, non-production environment to deploy and validate smart contracts, cross-chain bridge flows (lock/mint and burn/release), and integrations with wallets, RPCs, and indexers before mainnet launch.
Fluent Testnet emphasizes Ethereum tooling parity and ETH-denominated gas, reducing migration friction for dApps and cross-chain bridges versus networks that depend on custom gas tokens or non-EVM stacks. As of Sep 2025, official performance metrics are not published; for comparison: average gas cost — testnet ETH (economically negligible), block speed — not disclosed, TPS — not disclosed, activity — event-driven testing rather than sustained mainnet load.
Fluent 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 Fluent Testnet, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Fluent Testnet as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on Fluent 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 Fluent 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 ETH on Fluent Testnet, ensure your wallet is connected to the Fluent Testnet network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of ETH to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
