A blockchain testnet for the Gear Zero Network to test GZN-powered decentralized applications, with Chain ID 266256 and an environment for pre‑mainnet validation.
Gear Zero Network Testnet is a public staging environment for the Gear Zero blockchain that uses GZN test tokens for gas and carries no real economic value. It’s used to deploy and validate smart contracts, wallets, infrastructure, and especially cross-chain bridge integrations before mainnet. For up-to-date comparison, see live metrics—avg gas cost (in GZN), block speed, TPS, and network activity—at https://token.gearzero.ca/testnet (as of Sep 2025).
Gear Zero Network Testnet is purpose-built for bridge development, offering a safe, continuously available environment with faucet GZN and resources documented at https://token.gearzero.ca/testnet. Its portal surfaces real-time performance data—avg gas cost, block speed, TPS, and activity—so teams can benchmark bridge transactions and fee policies against other networks (as of Sep 2025).
Gear Zero Network Testnet uses GZN as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain GZN by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge, or through faucets (for testnet).
To bridge GZN to Gear Zero Network Testnet, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Gear Zero Network Testnet as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on Gear Zero Network 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 Gear Zero Network 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 GZN on Gear Zero Network Testnet, ensure your wallet is connected to the Gear Zero Network Testnet network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of GZN to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
