A testnet blockchain for The Growth Protocol using CERES, optimized for low-cost developer testing and identified by Chain ID 97433 (info: avacloud.io).
The Growth Protocol is a CERES-denominated testnet blockchain built on AvaCloud (Avalanche Subnet infrastructure) for EVM smart‑contract development, cross‑chain bridge trials, and dApp integration. It enables teams to validate production-like flows—bridging, gas economics, wallets, and automation—before mainnet, using typical testnet tooling (faucet, explorer, RPC). As of Sep 2025, official benchmarks are not published; for comparison, AvaCloud subnets commonly target ~1–2s finality, thousands of TPS, and sub‑cent average gas costs.
Unlike shared L1/L2 networks, The Growth Protocol runs as a dedicated AvaCloud subnet with configurable parameters (fees, allowlists) and a custom gas token (CERES), providing performance isolation, predictable costs, and EVM compatibility with Avalanche tooling. It is optimized for bridge‑centric workflows and Avalanche‑native interoperability (e.g., AWM/Teleporter when enabled), aiming for the AvaCloud baseline of ~1–2s finality, thousands TPS, and <$0.01 gas; current activity is developer‑focused testing rather than production volumes.
The Growth Protocol uses CERES as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain CERES by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge, or through faucets (for testnet).
To bridge CERES to The Growth Protocol, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select The Growth Protocol as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on The Growth Protocol 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 The Growth Protocol 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 CERES on The Growth Protocol, ensure your wallet is connected to the The Growth Protocol network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of CERES to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
