GAN Testnet is the public test network for GPU Network (GP), built for safe end-to-end testing of smart contracts, wallets, oracles, and cross-chain bridge flows before mainnet. It uses GP test tokens and mirrors mainnet parameters so teams can assess gas behavior, finality, and indexing without financial risk.
GAN Testnet is unique for its GP-native environment and tight integration with the GPU Network stack, enabling full bridge simulations and rapid protocol upgrade testing. As of Sep 2025, official sources do not publish stable benchmarks for average gas cost, block speed, TPS, or on-chain activity; check the live explorer and https://docs.gpu.net/ for current metrics. Compared to generic testnets, it prioritizes compatibility with GPU Network tooling and cross-chain workflows, making it ideal for realistic performance trials and integration testing.
GAN Testnet uses GP as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain GP by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge, or through faucets (for testnet).
To bridge GP to GAN Testnet, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select GAN Testnet as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on GAN 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 GAN 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 GP on GAN Testnet, ensure your wallet is connected to the GAN Testnet network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of GP to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
