LaTestnet is a dedicated testnet for the cross-chain bridge, using TLA as the native gas token with no real-world value. It’s designed for safe end-to-end testing of asset/message bridging, smart-contract deployments, relayer behavior, and integration workflows before mainnet. As of Sep 2025, public benchmarks for avg gas cost, block speed, TPS, and activity are not published; expect near-negligible TLA fees and fast confirmations typical of testnets.
LaTestnet is purpose-built for cross-chain workflows, offering a controlled, non-economic environment to validate bridge logic, fee flows, and failure/retry scenarios without liquidity risk. It is faucet-driven and optimized for rapid iteration, so activity can vary during upgrades, with predictably low gas and quick confirmations to accelerate QA. For concrete performance comparisons (avg gas, block time, TPS), rely on the latest release notes or in-app telemetry, as no public Info URL or explorer metrics are available.
LaTestnet uses TLA as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain TLA by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge, or through faucets (for testnet).
To bridge TLA to LaTestnet, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select LaTestnet as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on LaTestnet 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 LaTestnet 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 TLA on LaTestnet, ensure your wallet is connected to the LaTestnet network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of TLA to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
