An EVM-compatible blockchain testnet, REI Chain delivers fast finality and near-zero fees, enabling low-cost Web3 dApp development with Ethereum tooling and tREI for testing.
REI Chain Testnet is an EVM-compatible staging network that mirrors REI mainnet features using the tREI token, enabling safe, low-cost testing of dApps, bridges, and infrastructure. It targets ~3s block times, sustains high throughput (hundreds–thousands TPS in benchmarks), and offers near‑zero effective gas via the RC resource model or sponsor contracts. Testnet activity is driven by public faucets and frequent contract deployments, providing realistic load conditions for pre‑mainnet trials.
REI Chain Testnet is unique for its gasless user experience: RC credits and contract-level gas sponsorship reduce average transaction cost to near zero (fallback fees remain only a few gwei in tREI). With ~3s blocks, fast finality, and 10^2–10^3 TPS capacity, it delivers faster confirmations and lower fees than Ethereum L1 while remaining fully EVM-compatible. Developers gain lightweight nodes, deterministic cost modeling, and first‑class cross‑chain testing support, making it ideal for high‑frequency DeFi, GameFi, and consumer apps.
REI Chain Testnet uses tREI as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain tREI by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge, or through faucets (for testnet).
To bridge tREI to REI Chain Testnet, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select REI Chain Testnet as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
