An EVM-compatible blockchain testnet enabling low-cost, rapid dApp experimentation with robust Tangle Tools developer suite and tTNT gas, Chain ID 3799.
Tangle Testnet is a public testing environment for the Tangle network that mirrors mainnet features while using the valueless tTNT token. Developers use it to dry‑run cross‑chain bridge transfers, test smart contracts and wallet/explorer integrations, and perform load and failure testing without risk. As of 2025‑09, official benchmark numbers (average gas cost, block time, TPS, network activity) aren’t published; gas is faucet‑funded (effective $0) and live performance should be checked in the current explorer/docs.
Tangle Testnet is unique in prioritizing interoperability and bridge workflows, offering purpose‑built tooling (SDKs, faucets, and observability via tangle.tools) and fast mainnet‑parity releases for end‑to‑end integration. Compared with general testnets, it keeps gas effectively free (tTNT faucet), favors rapid feedback over fixed throughput targets, and may undergo resets, so block speed, TPS, and activity are designed to be read from live telemetry rather than static specs.
Tangle Testnet uses tTNT as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain tTNT by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge, or through faucets (for testnet).
To bridge tTNT to Tangle Testnet, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Tangle Testnet as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on Tangle 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 Tangle 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 tTNT on Tangle Testnet, ensure your wallet is connected to the Tangle Testnet network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of tTNT to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
