RISE Network Testnet is a public, ETH‑gas test network that lets teams safely deploy and debug smart contracts, wallets, and cross‑chain bridge flows before mainnet. Primary use cases include end‑to‑end bridge rehearsal (lock/mint, burn/redeem), RPC/indexer integration, and load/performance testing. As of September 2025 no official metrics dashboard is published; avg gas cost is effectively near‑zero with faucet ETH, while block speed, TPS, and on‑chain activity vary by current test load and should not be treated as production benchmarks.
RISE Network Testnet is unique for using ETH as the native gas token and mirroring Ethereum‑style tooling, helping bridge teams model fees and UX close to mainnet conditions. It is optimized for cross‑chain developer workflows with predictable chain configuration and rapid iteration via faucet‑funded accounts. No audited performance figures are public yet; compared to other EVM testnets, expect very low effective gas cost and variable block speed/TPS/activity intended for staging and comparative measurement.
RISE Network 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 RISE Network Testnet, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select RISE Network Testnet as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on RISE Network 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 RISE Network 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 ETH on RISE Network Testnet, ensure your wallet is connected to the RISE Network Testnet network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of ETH to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
