A developer-friendly testnet blockchain, Galactica-Reticulum uses GNET and Chain ID 9302 to provide a low-cost, safe sandbox for dApp and upgrade testing.
Galactica-Reticulum is the public testnet for the Galactica network where developers and bridge users can safely test cross-chain transfers, smart-contract deployments, and validator workflows using the valueless GNET token for gas. As of Sep 2025, official performance metrics are not published; for comparison, treat avg gas cost as N/A (faucet GNET) with variable block speed/TPS and bursty activity that change with test campaigns and resets.
Unlike production chains, Reticulum is optimized for rapid iteration and bridge-centric interoperability testing, featuring frequent state resets, faucet-based GNET, and an aggressive upgrade cadence. This makes it distinct from generic testnets by concentrating on end-to-end bridge validation and telemetry over stable throughput—key metrics (avg gas cost, block speed, TPS, activity) are intentionally non-final and may fluctuate widely across releases.
Galactica-Reticulum uses GNET as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain GNET by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge, or through faucets (for testnet).
To bridge GNET to Galactica-Reticulum, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Galactica-Reticulum as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on Galactica-Reticulum 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 Galactica-Reticulum 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 GNET on Galactica-Reticulum, ensure your wallet is connected to the Galactica-Reticulum network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of GNET to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
