Neura Testnet is the public testing environment for Neura Protocol where the native gas token is ANKR. It lets teams deploy smart contracts, simulate cross-chain bridge flows, and validate wallet/RPC/indexer integrations without mainnet risk. Typical uses include end‑to‑end bridge simulations, load testing, and CI pipelines before production releases.
Neura Testnet stands out by using ANKR as its native gas token and by providing a low‑risk, production‑like venue for pre‑release validation. As of Sep 2025, the project has not published authoritative averages for gas cost, block time, TPS, or activity—check the official site and explorer for live metrics. Like most testnets, performance and activity can fluctuate due to upgrades, resets, and validator participation.
Neura Testnet uses ANKR as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain ANKR by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge, or through faucets (for testnet).
To bridge ANKR to Neura Testnet, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Neura Testnet as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on Neura 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.
