GAYA Testnet

The GAYA Testnet is a development environment mirroring the Mainnet’s functionality, allowing developers to safely build, test, and debug their decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contracts. By operating with test tokens, the Testnet provides a secure sandbox where developers can experiment and optimize their applications without real financial risk.

Key Features of the GAYA Testnet

• Simulated Environment: The Testnet provides a realistic environment that closely mimics the Mainnet’s functionalities. This allows developers to test dApps in a setting that reflects real-world conditions, ensuring that applications are robust and ready for deployment.

• Test Tokens: Interactions on the GAYA Testnet use test GayaCoin tokens, which hold no monetary value, allowing developers to test dApps without incurring costs or risking actual funds.

• Deployment and Debugging: The Testnet offers a risk-free space for deploying and refining smart contracts, enabling thorough debugging and performance checks before Mainnet deployment. This iterative process ensures that dApps perform optimally.

• Validator Simulation: To replicate Mainnet conditions, the Testnet includes validator nodes that simulate a decentralized network environment, ensuring that dApps can be tested under conditions similar to live deployment.

• Iterative Development Process: The Testnet supports iterative testing, allowing developers to deploy, refine, and redeploy their applications multiple times until all bugs and optimizations are addressed.
