A storage-focused blockchain testnet, Storagechain (Chain ID 8727), enabling STOR-based dApp experimentation with low-cost deployment and developer-friendly tooling for data-centric applications.
Storagechain Testnet is a public, zero‑value network that mirrors the Storagechain blockchain and uses STOR as the native gas token, letting developers safely deploy smart contracts, dApps, and run cross‑chain bridge dry‑runs. Primary use cases include end‑to‑end wallet/RPC integration, performance benchmarking, and security regression testing before mainnet releases. For comparison, monitor avg gas cost, block time/speed, TPS, and active addresses via official resources; as of 2025-09-24, fixed testnet targets for these metrics are not publicly documented.
Compared to generic testnets, Storagechain Testnet emphasizes mainnet‑parity for STOR fees and upgrade cadence, giving developers early access to upcoming protocol changes in a controlled environment. It is oriented toward end‑to‑end bridge and dApp integration with low‑cost transactions using test STOR (via official resources such as a faucet and explorer, where available). For performance visibility, use live dashboards to track avg gas cost, block speed, TPS, and network activity; as of 2025-09-24, Storagechain has not published fixed target values for these metrics.
Storagechain Testnet uses STOR as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain STOR by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge, or through faucets (for testnet).
To bridge STOR to Storagechain Testnet, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Storagechain Testnet as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on Storagechain 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 Storagechain 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 STOR on Storagechain Testnet, ensure your wallet is connected to the Storagechain Testnet network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of STOR to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
