An EVM-compatible gaming blockchain testnet (Chain ID 29112) powered by TOPIA, HYCHAIN offers fast finality and ultra-low fees tailored for scalable on-chain game economies.
HYCHAIN Testnet is the public, EVM-compatible pre‑production network for HYCHAIN, a gaming‑optimized blockchain that uses TOPIA as the native gas token. It enables studios and developers to safely test on‑chain gameplay, asset minting, marketplaces, wallets, and cross‑chain bridge flows end‑to‑end with faucet TOPIA. Typical workflows include deploying game contracts, simulating live player activity, and benchmarking gas and latency before mainnet launch.
HYCHAIN Testnet is purpose‑built for real‑time games, offering very low fees (sub‑cent testnet gas), low‑seconds block times, and high‑TPS capacity tuned for bursty in‑game actions, while remaining fully EVM‑compatible for seamless porting. It also ships with HYTOPIA‑integrated tooling, a native TOPIA bridge, faucet‑based onboarding, and an explorer where live metrics (avg gas cost, block speed, TPS, and daily activity) can be monitored during test phases. Compared with general‑purpose L1s, this gaming focus delivers faster confirmations and lower effective costs for interactive on‑chain loops.
HYCHAIN Testnet uses TOPIA as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain TOPIA by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge, or through faucets (for testnet).
To bridge TOPIA to HYCHAIN Testnet, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select HYCHAIN Testnet as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on HYCHAIN 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.
