Fraxtal Testnet is an Ethereum L2 test network built on the OP Stack with full EVM equivalence, using frxETH as the native gas token for realistic fee modeling. It’s used to safely test smart contracts, bridges, wallets, and infra with fast blocks and negligible gas before mainnet deployment. Developers run end-to-end simulations and performance profiling using standard Ethereum tooling (MetaMask, Hardhat, Foundry).
Fraxtal Testnet is unique for its frxETH-denominated gas and OP Stack EVM parity, letting teams benchmark the exact fee flows and UX they’ll see on Fraxtal mainnet while inheriting Ethereum security. It follows OP Stack performance characteristics—roughly 2-second blocks, extremely low gas in test frxETH for simple transfers, and multi-TPS throughput—and you can monitor live activity and fee metrics at https://testnet.frax.com. Tight alignment with the Frax ecosystem and Ethereum tooling makes it a high-fidelity, low-cost staging ground for liquidity, bridging, and production-like workflows.
Fraxtal Testnet uses frxETH as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain frxETH by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge, or through faucets (for testnet).
To bridge frxETH to Fraxtal Testnet, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Fraxtal Testnet as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on Fraxtal 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 Fraxtal 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 frxETH on Fraxtal Testnet, ensure your wallet is connected to the Fraxtal Testnet network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of frxETH to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
