An open blockchain test network for developers, Testnet uses CWA as its valueless native currency and Chain ID 74738 to enable safe, low-cost experimentation.
A testnet is a pre-production blockchain network that uses valueless tokens—here, CWA—to safely test smart contracts, cross-chain bridge flows, and node operations without financial risk. Primary use cases include deploying and auditing contracts, simulating bridge transfers and failure scenarios, and benchmarking performance across average gas cost (in CWA), block speed, TPS, and network activity. Developers typically fund accounts via a faucet and monitor these metrics to validate readiness before mainnet deployment.
This Testnet is optimized for rapid iteration and safe cross-chain bridge experimentation, with faucet-based CWA, quick parameter upgrades, and environments suited for replaying and debugging messages end-to-end. It emphasizes measurable performance—near-zero effective gas cost (faucet-funded), faster block intervals, and stress-tested burst TPS—so teams can compare average gas, block speed, TPS, and activity against other networks before shipping. It also enables isolated validation of rate limits, reorg handling, and message verification without impacting mainnet users or liquidity.
Testnet uses CWA as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain CWA by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge, or through faucets (for testnet).
To bridge CWA 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 CWA on Testnet, ensure your wallet is connected to the Testnet network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of CWA to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
