You are on the test network

A free, safe sandbox to try everything Rising Tide does - with zero real money on the line.

What testnet is

Testnet is a full copy of Rising Tide running on a practice blockchain. You can publish, collect, sign, and get paid exactly like the real thing - except the money is play money and nothing has real-world value.

It is the place to explore, experiment, and safely break things before everything goes live on mainnet.

Get free test funds

Two kinds of test currency, both free.

Test STX - for network fees

Every action costs a tiny network fee, paid in STX. On testnet it is free. Open the Hiro faucet, paste your wallet address, and request funds.

Test sBTC - for collecting and publishing

Collecting editions and publishing paid work use sBTC. After you sign in, look for the faucet button inside any Rising Tide app - it drops 1 test sBTC into your wallet instantly.

Available inside the apps after sign-in

Good to know

Nothing here uses real money - test funds have no real-world value.

Testnet may be reset from time to time, so balances and pages can disappear.

Your wallet and address are created automatically when you sign in.

You can watch your transactions on the Stacks explorer.
