Guru Network Testnet is a public testing environment for the Guru Network where developers use tGURU to deploy, iterate, and validate smart contracts, wallets, and cross-chain bridge flows without real funds. Common use cases include end-to-end bridge simulations (deposit/withdraw, message passing), RPC/indexer validation, and fee estimation; as of Sep 2025, official averages for gas cost, block time, TPS, and daily activity are not published—monitor official channels for live metrics.
Guru Network Testnet stands out for a developer-first focus on interoperability, using tGURU for predictable test fees and offering a controlled sandbox ideal for cross-chain bridge integration and message verification workflows. Compared to generalized testnets, it emphasizes rapid, low-cost iteration while key performance metrics (average gas fees, block speed, TPS, active addresses) remain unpublished as of Sep 2025; see https://gurunetwork.ai for updates and comparative benchmarking.
Guru Network Testnet uses tGURU as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain tGURU by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge, or through faucets (for testnet).
To bridge tGURU to Guru Network Testnet, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Guru Network Testnet as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on Guru 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.
