Frequently asked questions

SlingShot Testnet is a non‑production blockchain network powered by SLINGT test tokens that mirrors SlingShot’s cross‑chain bridge stack so developers can validate contracts, relayers, and wallet integrations without mainnet risk. It’s used for end‑to‑end bridge flow testing, simulated failure/retry scenarios, and performance/stress rehearsals with faucet‑funded SLINGT. Key metrics (avg gas cost, block speed, TPS, activity) are variable across releases; check the explorer/dashboards linked from slingshotdao.com for current readings.

Unlike general‑purpose L1/L2 testnets, SlingShot Testnet is purpose‑built for cross‑chain interoperability, mirroring production bridge routes and message formats to accurately validate message passing and failure modes. It prioritizes correctness and observability over headline throughput: avg gas cost is effectively $0 in monetary terms (faucet SLINGT), while block speed, TPS, and activity are not fixed and can spike or slow during upgrade cycles. This design makes it ideal for comparing bridge behavior across releases rather than benchmarking steady‑state performance.

SlingShot Testnet uses SLINGT as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain SLINGT by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge, or through faucets (for testnet).

To bridge SLINGT to SlingShot Testnet, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select SlingShot Testnet as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.

To build on SlingShot 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 SlingShot 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 SLINGT on SlingShot Testnet, ensure your wallet is connected to the SlingShot Testnet network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of SLINGT to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
