Join the Testnet
Testnet Resources#
Block Explorer#
Check out our incentivised testnet via the Taraxa Block Explorer.
Ethereum compatible JSON RPC interface#
To connect to the Taraxa Incentivised Testnet, use the following options:
- https: https://rpc.testnet.taraxa.io
- websocket: wss://ws.rpc.testnet.taraxa.io
Creating a wallet#
- Taraxa Sandbox - For the testnet, Taraxa provides a web-based wallet called the sandbox. The sandbox wallet provides 10 addresses that can be used for sending/receiving TARA, contract deployment, and staking.
- MetaMask - MetaMask browser extention also works with Taraxa incentivised Testnet. Just use custom RPC, and set the token name to TARA, and use the block explorer above.
Using the Faucet#
Taraxa testnet includes a faucet. The faucet will send small amount of testnet TARA every few seconds, to the last 5000 addresses that were added.
Development#
Libraries#
- Web3 - Because of the Ethereum-compatible RPC interface, most Ethereum libraries like Web3.js, Web3.py, Ethers.js, etc will work for sending and receiving TARA and interacting with contracts.
- TaraxaJS - To access custom RPC functionality using JavaScript, try TaraxaJS (based on Axios)
- TaraxaPy - To access custom RPC functionality using Python, try TaraxaPy
