An EVM-compatible blockchain testnet, OPTOPIA Testnet uses ETH for gas (Chain ID 62049) and supports dApp and smart contract testing with standard Ethereum tooling.
OPTOPIA Testnet is a public ETH-denominated sandbox for the OPTOPIA ecosystem, letting teams deploy and validate smart contracts, cross-chain bridges, and interoperability workflows before mainnet. It supports end-to-end testing of bridge transfers, liquidity routing, and message passing with test ETH from a faucet, plus wallet/explorer integrations. Visit https://optopia.ai for docs, faucet, and explorer access.
OPTOPIA Testnet focuses on bridge-first interoperability, offering endpoints for cross-chain messaging and Ethereum-style RPC to mirror mainnet workflows while keeping developer costs minimal with test ETH gas. As of Sep 2025, the team has not published fixed benchmarks; use the explorer linked at https://optopia.ai to view live averages for gas price, block time, TPS, and on-chain activity to compare against other networks. Using ETH for gas preserves realistic fee semantics while leveraging free test funds for rapid iteration.
OPTOPIA Testnet uses ETH as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain ETH by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge, or through faucets (for testnet).
To bridge ETH to OPTOPIA Testnet, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select OPTOPIA Testnet as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
