Why Use Testnets?

Testnets provide a safe, controlled, and efficient environment for testing and experimentation. Test networks, or testnets, serve as essential tools for you to test your smart contracts before deploying them to the mainnet, minimizing the risk of failures or vulnerabilities in live applications.

​
Key Benefits

Risk-Free Testing

Test your smart contracts and applications without risking real funds or affecting live users.

Realistic Environment

Simulate mainnet conditions including network latency, gas fees, and transaction throughput.

Cost-Effective Development

Use free testnet tokens instead of expensive mainnet ETH for development and testing.

Learning Platform

Perfect environment for developers to learn and experiment with blockchain development.
By simulating the mainnet environment, testnets offer a realistic representation of real-world conditions, complete with network latency, gas fees, and other factors that impact the performance of smart contracts. This accurate representation enables you to identify potential issues, optimize your applications, and ensure the best possible user experience for your end-users. Moreover, testnets allow you to familiarize yourself with the B3 ecosystem and gain valuable hands-on experience, making them indispensable tools for both seasoned developers and newcomers to the world of blockchain development.

​
Development Workflow

1

Get Testnet ETH

Use the testnet faucet to get free ETH for testing.
2

Deploy and Test

Deploy your smart contracts to the testnet and thoroughly test all functionality.
3

Debug and Optimize

Use the block explorer and development tools to debug issues and optimize performance.
4

Deploy to Mainnet

Once testing is complete, deploy your production-ready contracts to B3 mainnet.
Always test thoroughly on testnet before deploying to mainnet with real funds.
