A developer-focused testnet for the Evolve Blockchain enabling safe dApp and smart contract testing, using EVO on Chain ID 14324 for non-monetary transactions.
EVOLVE Testnet is the public pre-production network for the Evolve Blockchain that uses EVO as the native gas token. It lets developers, bridge integrators, and infrastructure providers safely deploy and validate smart contracts, wallet flows, RPC endpoints, and cross-chain transactions using valueless test EVO (typically via a faucet). As of Sep 2025, authoritative averages for gas fees, block time, TPS, and activity are not published—use the live explorer linked from https://evolveblockchain.io to obtain current metrics for comparisons.
Unlike generic testnets, EVOLVE Testnet closely mirrors Evolve mainnet releases and configuration while remaining resettable, giving realistic execution semantics for accurate pre‑mainnet testing. It is purpose-built for interoperability and bridge QA, making it a canonical environment to validate cross-chain routes and estimate gas; because performance tuning occurs between releases, key metrics (avg gas cost, block speed, TPS, activity) fluctuate—always reference the live explorer rather than static numbers for comparisons.
EVOLVE Testnet uses EVO as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain EVO by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge, or through faucets (for testnet).
To bridge EVO to EVOLVE Testnet, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select EVOLVE Testnet as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on EVOLVE 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 EVOLVE 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 EVO on EVOLVE Testnet, ensure your wallet is connected to the EVOLVE Testnet network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of EVO to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
