An EVM-compatible testnet blockchain, MAXI Chain Testnet enables low-cost MGAS transactions and seamless Ethereum tooling for dApp and smart contract testing (Chain ID 898).
MAXI Chain Testnet is the public pre‑production network for the MAXI ecosystem that uses MGAS as its native fee token, enabling safe, low-stakes experimentation. It’s primarily used to validate cross-chain bridge transfers and messaging, deploy and audit smart contracts, test wallets/indexers, and rehearse DevOps pipelines before mainnet promotion. For the latest docs and network status, see https://maxi.network.
It is purpose-built for end‑to‑end cross‑chain interoperability testing within the MAXI stack while isolating risk via MGAS and testnet economics, helping teams replicate mainnet behavior without real funds. Compared with other networks, official benchmark metrics—average gas cost, block speed, TPS, and network activity—are not publicly published as of Sep 2025; use the official site (https://maxi.network) for live metrics and compare them against peer testnets like Sepolia or Fuji. This parity with mainnet features supports reproducible bridge and liquidity‑routing test scenarios prior to production.
MAXI Chain Testnet uses MGAS as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain MGAS by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge, or through faucets (for testnet).
To bridge MGAS to MAXI Chain Testnet, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select MAXI Chain Testnet as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on MAXI Chain 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 MAXI Chain 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 MGAS on MAXI Chain Testnet, ensure your wallet is connected to the MAXI Chain Testnet network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of MGAS to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
