An EVM-compatible testnet leveraging ETH for gas, T-Rex Testnet (Chain ID 1962) provides a realistic, low-risk environment for dApp and smart contract validation.
T‑Rex Testnet is a dedicated test network for the T‑Rex cross‑chain bridge, enabling safe end‑to‑end testing of deposits, message passing, and withdrawals without mainnet risk. It uses ETH as the native gas token, preserving Ethereum‑like signing and fee behavior for realistic bridge integration. Common use cases include dApp integration tests, relayer/validator dry runs, and stress‑testing bridge routing and monitoring.
T‑Rex Testnet is unique for its bridge‑centric design and ETH‑denominated gas, providing production‑like fee dynamics while isolating funds risk and enabling rapid iteration. Performance metrics as of 2025‑09‑24: avg gas cost—faucet ETH (no monetary cost); block speed—N/A; TPS—N/A; network activity—N/A (not publicly published). This makes it a practical environment to benchmark your workflows against other Ethereum‑based testnets while you measure real block time and throughput via your explorer or RPC tooling.
T-Rex Testnet uses ETH as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain ETH by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge, or through faucets (for testnet).
To bridge ETH to T-Rex Testnet, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select T-Rex Testnet as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
