A Cosmos SDK-based testnet for the XPLA blockchain, letting Web3 gaming dApps trial smart contracts with fast finality, low fees, and seamless IBC interoperability.
XPLA Testnet is the public testing network for the XPLA blockchain, a Cosmos SDK + CometBFT, CosmWasm-enabled Layer-1 built for Web3 gaming and digital entertainment with XPLA as the native currency. It’s used to trial smart contracts, game/NFT asset flows, IBC-based cross-chain transfers, bridge integrations, and validator/relayer setups before mainnet deployment. Recent observations show single-digit-second block times (~5–6s), sustained throughput in the dozens to low-hundreds TPS, and sub-cent fees (simple transfers typically <0.001 XPLA), supporting fast, low-cost iteration.
XPLA Testnet is unique for its gaming-first design, production-parity CosmWasm environment, and IBC-native interoperability, which reduces reliance on custodial bridges for cross-chain assets and simplifies bridge testing. Compared with general-purpose EVM testnets, it delivers fast BFT finality (single-digit-second blocks), consistently low gas costs, and Cosmos-grade reliability, making it well-suited for real-time game logic and asset mints/transfers. Activity is developer-centric with frequent contract deployments and validator upgrades, and performance characteristics mirror mainnet—~5–6s block time, dozens–low hundreds TPS, and negligible gas—so test results translate predictably.
Xpla Testnet uses XPLA as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain XPLA by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge, or through faucets (for testnet).
To bridge XPLA to Xpla Testnet, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Xpla Testnet as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on Xpla 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 Xpla 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 XPLA on Xpla Testnet, ensure your wallet is connected to the Xpla Testnet network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of XPLA to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
