GAYA’s dedicated Testnet provides a safe and accessible environment for developers to test their applications before deploying them on the Mainnet. This test environment replicates the Mainnet’s functionalities but operates with test GayaCoins, allowing developers to experiment, debug, and refine their dApps without financial risk.
Testnet Access:
Developer Registration Portal: Developers can register for access to the Testnet through a streamlined sign-up process. Upon registration, they receive Testnet credentials and access to development resources.
Simulated Mainnet Environment: The Testnet mirrors the live GAYA network, enabling realistic testing for all aspects of dApp functionality, including smart contracts, token transactions, and staking mechanisms.
GayaCoin Faucet:
Free Test Tokens: To facilitate testing, GAYA offers a GayaCoin faucet that provides developers with free test tokens. By simply submitting their Testnet wallet address, developers receive test GayaCoins to simulate transactions, deploy contracts, and experiment with dApp features.
Automated Refill Option: Developers can request additional test tokens at specified intervals, ensuring they have adequate resources for comprehensive testing.
Rate Limits for Fair Use: To prevent abuse, the faucet enforces rate limits and cooldown periods, enabling fair distribution of test tokens across the community.
Upcoming enhancements to the Testnet environment include automated testing frameworks, sandboxed environments for rapid prototyping, and Testnet-only features that allow developers to test emerging technologies before they are implemented on the Mainnet.
