A developer-focused testnet blockchain for dApp experimentation and tooling integration, Turin (Chain ID 2390) uses TAC for low-cost, risk-free, fast iteration and deployment testing.
Turin is a testnet blockchain for pre‑production validation of smart contracts, cross‑chain bridge routes, and node/infrastructure tooling, using TAC as the native gas token. Primary use cases include end‑to‑end QA, integration testing (wallets, RPCs, indexers), and performance smoke‑tests before mainnet deployment.
Turin is purpose‑built for rapid iteration: the chain may reset, parameters can change quickly, and experimental features are activated ahead of mainnet to mirror upgrade schedules. As of 2025‑09, public benchmark metrics (average gas cost, block time, TPS, on‑chain activity) are not officially published and can vary widely during testing, so treat numbers as indicative only. TAC gas fees are typically kept low to reduce friction while validating transactions, fee markets, and bridge behavior.
Turin uses TAC as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain TAC by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge, or through faucets (for testnet).
To bridge TAC to Turin, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Turin as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on Turin 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 Turin 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 TAC on Turin, ensure your wallet is connected to the Turin network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of TAC to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
