A developer-focused blockchain testnet, QI0416s1 enables safe pre-production dApp and smart contract experimentation using ZKE as its native currency on Chain ID 90663.
QI0416s1 Testnet is a pre‑production network for validating the QI cross‑chain bridge, using ZKE as the native gas currency. It is used for end‑to‑end testing of swaps, cross‑chain message passing, failure/reorg handling, and observability before mainnet release. As of Sep 2025, no public benchmarks are available for average gas cost, block speed, TPS, or network activity.
QI0416s1 is unique as a bridge‑focused testnet optimized for realistic cross‑chain simulations rather than general‑purpose dApp hosting. Unlike public testnets, its configuration and performance parameters may change per testing cycle, and official metrics (avg gas cost, block speed, TPS, activity) are not yet published for apples‑to‑apples comparisons. This controlled scope helps teams verify bridge security, fee paths, and UX without mainnet risk.
QI0416s1 Testnet uses ZKE as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain ZKE by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge, or through faucets (for testnet).
To bridge ZKE to QI0416s1 Testnet, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select QI0416s1 Testnet as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
