Testnet is a public, zero‑value network that mirrors mainnet so developers can safely trial the LUG-based cross‑chain bridge and dApps without risk. It’s used to deploy and audit smart contracts, simulate cross‑chain transfers/messages, and run load, relayer, wallet, and explorer tests using faucet‑supplied LUG for gas.
This Testnet is optimized for cross‑chain workflows with pre‑deployed bridge contracts, relayer endpoints, and configurable rate limits that mirror mainnet behavior for realistic end‑to‑end testing. Performance profile for comparison: average gas is effectively 0 LUG (faucet‑funded), block speed is a few seconds per block, target throughput supports hundreds of TPS for stress testing, and activity is bursty around scheduled test windows and periodic state resets.
Testnet uses LUG as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain LUG by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge, or through faucets (for testnet).
To bridge LUG to Testnet, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Testnet as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on 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 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 LUG on Testnet, ensure your wallet is connected to the Testnet network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of LUG to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
