Testnet & Faucet
Connection details for the Mandala testnet, faucet status, and how it relates to mainnet.
Mandala maintains a testnet for development and integration work. Same Arbitrum Orbit + AnyTrust stack as mainnet, with two differences: the testnet settles to Sepolia instead of Ethereum mainnet, and gas is paid in KPGT (Kepeng Test) rather than KPG.

Faucet
Faucet not live yet
A public KPGT faucet has not been published. When it ships, the URL and request flow will live on this page. For early access during integration work, reach out via the channels listed on the Getting Help page.
Bridging from Sepolia
Because the testnet settles to Sepolia, you can bridge Sepolia ETH (and supported testnet tokens) into Mandala Testnet via the Arbitrum Portal with the Mandala testnet selected. Sepolia ETH faucets are listed in the Ethereum docs.
What testnet is for
- Deploying and testing contracts before pushing to mainnet.
- Integration work against the real Mandala stack (sequencer, batch poster, AnyTrust DAC, validators).
- Local end-to-end runs that need actual L1 settlement, not a forked node.
What testnet is not for
- Production traffic.
- Anything that depends on KPG balances or KPG-priced fees (testnet uses KPGT).
- Stable economic assumptions; testnet parameters may be reset.
