A high-performance Layer 1 testnet for the XRP Ledger (Chain ID 1448000), enabling fast, low-cost transactions and a built-in DEX with NFTs for developer testing.
XRPL Testnet is the public XRP Ledger network that mirrors mainnet features (XRP, issued tokens/trust lines, native DEX/AMM, NFTs, Escrow, Payment Channels, multisign) using valueless test XRP from a faucet. It’s used to safely develop and QA wallets, cross-chain bridges, and payment apps, run CI/load tests, and validate protocol upgrades before mainnet. Key performance for planning: ledger close ~3–5s, typical fee 10–50 drops (0.000010–0.000050 XRP) with no gas auctions, and throughput in the hundreds of TPS with benchmarks up to ~1,500 TPS.
XRPL Testnet provides deterministic, low-latency finality via XRPL consensus (no PoW/PoS), extremely low and predictable fees measured in drops, and built-in primitives (DEX, AMM, pathfinding, escrow) that eliminate most smart-contract gas costs—ideal for bridge routing and settlement. Compared with many EVM testnets that have variable gas prices and longer block times, XRPL typically closes ledgers in ~4s and executes payments at sub‑milli-XRP fees (<0.001 XRP), delivering steady throughput suitable for high-volume routing. Developer-centric features like account reserves, trust-line controls, and faucet funding enable large-scale automated testing without real-value risk.
XRPL Testnet uses XRP as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain XRP by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge, or through faucets (for testnet).
To bridge XRP to XRPL Testnet, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select XRPL Testnet as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on XRPL 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.
