An open developer testnet blockchain for the Incentiv ecosystem, identified by Chain ID 28802 and TCENT currency, enabling safe, sandboxed application and integration testing.
Incentiv Testnet is a sandbox blockchain network for the Incentiv cross-chain bridge, using TCENT as the native gas token to validate contracts, relayers, and end-to-end cross-chain transactions without financial risk. Core use cases include testing cross-chain transfers/messages, integrating wallets and SDKs, running load/chaos scenarios, and validating monitoring and alerts before mainnet. As of 2025-09, official performance metrics (average gas cost, block speed, TPS, daily active addresses) are not publicly disclosed; gas is faucet-funded (near-zero effective cost) and performance can vary across resets.
Incentiv Testnet is purpose-built for cross-chain bridge development, offering a controlled, frequently reset environment tightly integrated with the bridge stack for fast, reproducible testing—unlike general-purpose testnets. It emphasizes rapid confirmations and zero-cost TCENT gas to accelerate iteration, but it is not intended as a throughput benchmark; for baseline comparisons, public testnets like Ethereum Sepolia (~12 s blocks) or Polygon Amoy (~2 s blocks) provide more stable reference points for TPS and block-time expectations. This specialization and isolation make it uniquely suited to safe preproduction checks of cross-chain transfers, message passing, and failure-handling logic.
Incentiv Testnet uses TCENT as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain TCENT by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge, or through faucets (for testnet).
To bridge TCENT to Incentiv Testnet, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Incentiv Testnet as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on Incentiv 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 Incentiv 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 TCENT on Incentiv Testnet, ensure your wallet is connected to the Incentiv Testnet network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of TCENT to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
