A high-performance EVM testnet for Shido, enabling low-cost SHIDO gas deployments, rapid confirmations, and safe dApp and smart contract testing before mainnet.
Shido Testnet Block is the staging network for the Shido blockchain where SHIDO is the native gas, enabling developers to deploy and test smart contracts, wallets, and cross‑chain bridge flows without mainnet risk. Via NexaBlock, each block exposes real‑time metrics—average gas cost, block speed, TPS, and on‑chain activity—so teams can profile performance and costs before launch. Under typical testnet load you’ll see negligible gas and second‑level blocks, but confirm live figures on NexaBlock for accurate benchmarking.
Shido Testnet Block stands out with integrated NexaBlock telemetry that surfaces key performance metrics—avg gas cost, block time, TPS, and activity—making side‑by‑side comparisons with other networks straightforward. Its SHIDO‑denominated fees mirror mainnet mechanics while remaining low‑cost, enabling precise cost modeling for bridges and dApps and fast iteration with second‑level block finality. Public endpoints and faucet support streamline CI/CD and load testing so teams can validate throughput under real traffic patterns.
Shido Testnet Block uses SHIDO as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain SHIDO by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge, or through faucets (for testnet).
To bridge SHIDO to Shido Testnet Block, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Shido Testnet Block as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
