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:

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
