An EVM-compatible testnet using GS-ETH for gas, enabling low-cost, safe dApp experimentation with Ethereum tooling compatibility and Chain ID 28872323069.
GitSwarm Test Network is a public testnet for the GitSwarm ecosystem that lets developers validate dApps, smart contracts, and cross-chain bridge integrations using the GS-ETH test currency. It supports faucet-funded transactions and safe pre-production testing (state resets, rapid iteration) before deploying to mainnet. As of Sep 2025, official sources have not published stable averages for gas cost, block time, TPS, or daily activity; expect metrics to fluctuate under test loads and check https://gitswarm.com/ for updates.
Unlike generic Ethereum testnets, the GitSwarm Test Network is purpose-built around the GitSwarm protocol and GS-ETH gas semantics, providing an isolated environment that avoids replay and token-confusion risks during bridge testing. Because it is actively tuned for experimentation, key performance metrics (average gas cost, block speed, TPS, user activity) are not canonical and can change during upgrades; treat it as a functionality and interoperability sandbox rather than a performance benchmark.
GitSwarm Test Network uses GS-ETH as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain GS-ETH by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge, or through faucets (for testnet).
To bridge GS-ETH to GitSwarm Test Network, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select GitSwarm Test Network as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on GitSwarm Test Network 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 GitSwarm Test Network 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 GS-ETH on GitSwarm Test Network, ensure your wallet is connected to the GitSwarm Test Network network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of GS-ETH to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
