Ozone Chain Testnet is a public, EVM-compatible sandbox that mirrors the Ozone Chain mainnet and uses OZO as the native gas token, enabling safe deployment and debugging of Solidity smart contracts and cross-chain bridge flows. Core use cases include dApp QA, wallet/infrastructure integration (MetaMask, Hardhat/Foundry/Remix), and pre‑mainnet staging for asset transfers via bridges. Key performance signals to monitor are block time (typically ~2–5s on testnets), low average gas price (often single‑digit gwei in OZO), live TPS, and active accounts/tx counts—check the official resources at https://ozonechain.io for current explorer telemetry.
It stands out as an EVM-compatible test network optimized for rapid bridge and dApp iteration: stable public RPC endpoints, a faucet for OZO, low fees, and fast confirmations that shorten CI/CD loops. Versus Ethereum‑parameter testnets (~12s blocks), Ozone Chain Testnet typically targets faster blocks (~2–5s), low single‑digit gwei gas, and higher practical TPS under load testing; for up‑to‑date metrics (avg gas, block speed, TPS, activity), refer to the explorer linked at https://ozonechain.io.
Ozone Chain Testnet uses OZO as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain OZO by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge, or through faucets (for testnet).
To bridge OZO to Ozone Chain Testnet, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Ozone Chain Testnet as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on Ozone 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 Ozone 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 OZO on Ozone Chain Testnet, ensure your wallet is connected to the Ozone Chain Testnet network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of OZO to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
