An open StarCHAIN testnet from StarWorks Global (Chain ID 1570) for developers to safely and cost-effectively test STARX-based smart contracts and dApps before production.
StarCHAIN Testnet is StarWORKS Global’s public testing network for StarCHAIN, using STARX as the native test currency to validate smart contracts and cross-chain bridge flows without real funds. Primary use cases include end-to-end wallet/bridge integration, transaction simulation, and fee/latency profiling with faucet-distributed STARX. As of Sep 2025, StarWORKS has not posted finalized public benchmarks; average gas cost is effectively near zero in test STARX, while block speed, TPS, and activity vary by test cycle—see starworksglobal.com for real-time updates.
StarCHAIN Testnet is uniquely focused on cross-chain interoperability, with tight integration into StarWORKS bridge tooling so teams can rehearse multi-chain transfers and edge cases. Compared with generic public testnets, StarCHAIN prioritizes realistic bridge workflows over headline TPS, meaning block speed/TPS can change across upgrade windows while gas remains effectively zero via the STARX faucet. This developer-first design lowers the cost of repeated load, latency, and failure-mode testing before mainnet deployment.
StarCHAIN Testnet uses STARX as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain STARX by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge, or through faucets (for testnet).
To bridge STARX to StarCHAIN Testnet, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select StarCHAIN Testnet as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on StarCHAIN 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 StarCHAIN 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 STARX on StarCHAIN Testnet, ensure your wallet is connected to the StarCHAIN Testnet network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of STARX to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
