QI0408s1 Testnet is a non-production network for end-to-end testing of the cross-chain bridge, with gas fees paid in the ICV token. It lets developers deploy contracts, simulate cross-chain transfers, and validate wallet/infrastructure integrations before mainnet. Test ICV has no monetary value and the network may reset state, making it suitable only for staging and benchmarking.
Unlike generic public testnets, QI0408s1 is purpose-built around the bridge’s interoperability workflows and uses ICV to mirror realistic fee and nonce behavior across chains. As of Sep 2025, no official performance benchmarks are published (avg gas cost: N/A ICV, block time: N/A, TPS: N/A, network activity: developer-driven and bursty), so teams should profile their workloads when comparing to other networks.
QI0408s1 Testnet uses ICV as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain ICV by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge, or through faucets (for testnet).
To bridge ICV to QI0408s1 Testnet, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select QI0408s1 Testnet as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
