A high-performance EVM-compatible Layer 2 Sepolia testnet for Manta Pacific using ETH gas and Caldera’s modular rollup stack for fast, low-cost transactions.
Manta Pacific Sepolia Testnet is the EVM-compatible test environment for Manta Pacific, an Ethereum Layer-2, using test ETH as the native gas currency. It is used to safely deploy and verify smart contracts, test the canonical bridge flows from/to Ethereum Sepolia, integrate wallets/oracles/indexers, and benchmark end-to-end dApp behavior. Blocks are produced every few seconds with near‑zero effective gas cost; check the official explorer (https://manta-testnet.caldera.dev/) for live block speed, TPS, fee, and activity metrics.
It uniquely mirrors Manta Pacific mainnet architecture while preserving ETH‑denominated gas, canonical cross‑chain bridging, and EVM toolchain compatibility, giving developers production‑like results on test funds. Compared with generic testnets, it offers fast sequencer finality (blocks in seconds), negligible gas fees, and elastic throughput suitable for TPS and load testing; live averages for gas, block time, TPS, and network activity are published on the testnet explorer for up‑to‑date comparison.
Manta Pacific Sepolia Testnet uses ETH as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain ETH by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge, or through faucets (for testnet).
To bridge ETH to Manta Pacific Sepolia Testnet, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Manta Pacific Sepolia Testnet as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction.
