An EVM-compatible blockchain testnet (Chain ID 2625) enabling developers to trial Whitechain dApps with fast, low-cost transactions and WBT as the native currency.
Whitechain Testnet is an EVM-compatible testing network that mirrors Whitechain mainnet parameters and uses WBT as the native gas token, enabling risk-free deployment of Solidity smart contracts, wallets, bridges, and dApps. It’s primarily used for end-to-end cross-chain bridge trials, CI/CD automation, and performance validation before mainnet launch. Live metrics—average gas cost, block speed, TPS, and network activity—can be monitored on the official explorer; costs are faucet-funded and effectively near‑zero for testing.
Whitechain Testnet is unique for its WBT‑denominated gas and tight integration with the WhiteBIT exchange ecosystem (faucet access, listings, and liquidity routes) while maintaining full Ethereum tooling compatibility (MetaMask, JSON‑RPC, Solidity). Compared with other EVM testnets, it emphasizes fast, seconds‑level block times, near‑zero gas costs, and burst throughput suitable for load testing; official averages for gas, TPS, and activity are dynamic and should be checked on the explorer in real time. Its stability‑focused validator operations provide predictable performance, which is ideal for cross‑chain bridge simulations and continuous deployment workflows.
Whitechain Testnet uses WBT as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain WBT by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge, or through faucets (for testnet).
To bridge WBT to Whitechain Testnet, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Whitechain Testnet as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on Whitechain 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 Whitechain 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 WBT on Whitechain Testnet, ensure your wallet is connected to the Whitechain Testnet network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of WBT to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
