An EVM-compatible testnet for Syscoin, the Tanenbaum Testnet offers Bitcoin merge-mined security and low-cost tSYS transactions for deploying and testing rollup-ready dApps.
Syscoin Tanenbaum Testnet is Syscoin’s public EVM + UTXO network for staging (NEVM chain ID 5700) that uses tSYS for gas to safely test dApps, bridges, rollups, and token/NFT contracts before mainnet. Typical NEVM metrics: ~13 s block time, 1 gwei floor gas (ERC‑20 transfer ≈ 21,000 gas ≈ 0.000021 tSYS), with practical throughput in the tens to low‑hundreds TPS; activity is intentionally lower than mainnets so blocks usually have spare capacity for load testing.
It uniquely blends Bitcoin-merge‑mined PoW security with an Ethereum‑compatible NEVM and Syscoin’s Z‑DAG for near‑instant UTXO token transfers, letting teams test both EVM contracts and high‑throughput UTXO flows on one testnet. Compared with typical EVM testnets, Tanenbaum offers similar block speed (~13 s) and ultra‑low gas (≈1 gwei; ERC‑20 ≈0.000021 tSYS) while enabling Z‑DAG simulations that can reach thousands of TPS; testnet activity is lower than mainnet, making performance comparisons and benchmarking straightforward.
Syscoin Tanenbaum Testnet uses tSYS as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain tSYS by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge, or through faucets (for testnet).
To bridge tSYS to Syscoin Tanenbaum Testnet, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Syscoin Tanenbaum Testnet as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
