A testnet blockchain for the KARRAT ecosystem, Studio Chain (Chain ID 616) lets developers safely prototype dApps and integrations using $KARRAT with low-cost transactions.
Studio Chain is a testnet blockchain that uses $KARRAT as the native gas token, providing a safe developer sandbox for pre‑production work. Primary use cases include deploying and testing smart contracts, validating cross-chain token/NFT transfers through our bridge, and benchmarking transaction costs and behavior without financial risk. Testnet $KARRAT is faucet-distributed and holds no market value.
Studio Chain is uniquely integrated with our cross‑chain bridge for end‑to‑end testing, offering $KARRAT‑denominated gas and environment‑specific tooling (faucet, RPC, and test explorers) tailored for rapid iteration. Key comparison metrics—average gas cost, block speed, TPS, and on‑chain activity—are not publicly published as of Sep 2025; once available, we will surface them in‑dashboard to benchmark Studio Chain against other testnets. This purpose‑built focus on pre‑production workflows lets teams test bridging and performance safely before mainnet deployment.
Studio Chain uses $KARRAT as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain $KARRAT by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge, or through faucets (for testnet).
To bridge $KARRAT to Studio Chain, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Studio Chain as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on Studio Chain 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 Studio Chain 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 $KARRAT on Studio Chain, ensure your wallet is connected to the Studio Chain network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of $KARRAT to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
