An EVM-compatible testnet for the LAOS Network focused on cross-chain programmable digital objects, with fast finality, low fees, and SIGMA for building and testing.
LAOS Sigma Testnet is the public test network for the LAOS Network, built to trial cross‑chain asset lifecycle and provenance features using the SIGMA token for gas. It lets developers mint once and mirror assets across chains, test provenance‑preserving bridges for NFTs and tokens, and integrate wallets, explorers, and dApps without mainnet risk. For current telemetry (block cadence, throughput, activity), use the official explorer linked from https://laosnetwork.io, as metrics can change across testnet releases.
LAOS Sigma Testnet is unique for its asset‑centric architecture and verifiable cross‑chain proofs that preserve origin, ownership, and metadata across multiple chains—avoiding the fragility of traditional wrapped‑asset bridges. Compared to throughput‑focused networks, Sigma prioritizes integrity and interoperability; as of Sep 2025, no canonical averages are published for TPS, block speed, or gas—testnet gas is effectively $0 via faucet SIGMA—so check the live dashboard for current figures. This makes it ideal for developers who need reliable cross‑chain asset provenance over raw TPS.
LAOS Sigma Testnet uses SIGMA as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain SIGMA by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge, or through faucets (for testnet).
To bridge SIGMA to LAOS Sigma Testnet, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select LAOS Sigma Testnet as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on LAOS Sigma 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 LAOS Sigma 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 SIGMA on LAOS Sigma Testnet, ensure your wallet is connected to the LAOS Sigma Testnet network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of SIGMA to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
