Testnets

The Real Testnet, officially named REAL, is a testing environment for the Real blockchain, a decentralized Layer 1 (L1) network focused on tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs) for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The REAL Testnet allows developers, businesses, and users to experiment with Real’s features—such as RWA tokenization, smart contracts, and staking—without risking real funds. This page provides an overview of the REAL Testnet and how to get started.

What is the REAL Testnet?

The REAL Testnet is a fully functional replica of the Real Mainnet, designed for testing and development purposes. It mirrors the Mainnet’s architecture, including its consensus mechanism (Tendermint-based Proof-of-Stake via the Cosmos SDK), smart contract functionality, and RWA tokenization capabilities. The key difference is that the REAL Testnet uses test $REAL tokens, which have no real-world value, allowing users to experiment freely.

Key Features of the REAL Testnet

• Safe Testing Environment: Test features like tokenizing assets, deploying smart contracts, and staking without financial risk.

• Identical to Mainnet: The Testnet replicates the Mainnet’s functionality, ensuring that applications and workflows tested here will work seamlessly on the live network.

• Developer-Friendly: Built for developers to test dApps, smart contracts, and integrations before deploying to the REAL Mainnet.

• Community Access: Open to all users, including SMEs, investors, and developers, to explore Real’s ecosystem.

Use Cases

• Developers: Test smart contracts, dApps, and integrations with Real’s infrastructure.

• SMEs: Experiment with tokenizing RWAs, such as real estate or inventory, to understand the process.

• Users: Learn how to stake $REAL tokens, participate in governance, or interact with the Real platform.

$REAL Tokens and Transaction Fees

The REAL Testnet uses test $REAL tokens to simulate real-world interactions on the network, including the payment of transaction fees.

Role of Test $REAL Tokens

• Transaction Fees: Just like on the Mainnet, $REAL tokens are used to pay for transaction fees on the REAL Testnet. This includes fees for:

  • Deploying and executing smart contracts (e.g., creating a tokenized RWA).

  • Transferring test tokenized assets.

  • Interacting with dApps or staking mechanisms.

• No Real Value: Test $REAL tokens are used solely for testing purposes and have no monetary value. They cannot be traded or used on the Mainnet.

• Staking and Governance: Test $REAL tokens can also be used to simulate staking and governance activities, helping users understand how these mechanisms work.

How to Get Test $REAL Tokens

To interact with the REAL Testnet, you’ll need test $REAL tokens to cover transaction fees. Here’s how to get them:

1. Visit the Real Testnet Faucet: Go to the Real Testnet Faucet.

2. Request Tokens:

   • Enter your Real Testnet wallet address.

   • Request a small amount of test $REAL tokens (e.g., 1,000 $REAL, sufficient for testing).

   • Tokens will be sent to your wallet within a few seconds.

3. Fund Your Wallet: Ensure your wallet is connected to the REAL Testnet (see instructions below) to receive and use the tokens.

Example Transaction Fees

• Deploying a smart contract: ~50 test $REAL.

• Tokenizing a test RWA: ~100 test $REAL.

• Transferring a tokenized asset: ~10 test $REAL. Fees on the Testnet are set to mirror Mainnet conditions, providing a realistic testing experience.

Getting Started with the REAL Testnet

Step 1: Set Up a Wallet

You’ll need a wallet to interact with the REAL Testnet.

1. Choose a Wallet: Use a compatible wallet like MetaMask or Real’s native wallet. Follow our Getting Started Guide for wallet setup.

2. Add the REAL Testnet:

   • Network Name: REAL Testnet

   • RPC URL: https://rpc-testnet.real.finance

   • Chain ID: real-testnet-1

   • Symbol: $REAL (test)

   • Block Explorer URL: https://explorer-testnet.real.finnace

3. Switch to the Testnet: Ensure your wallet is connected to the REAL Testnet network.

Step 2: Fund Your Wallet with Test $REAL Tokens

Follow the instructions above to request test $REAL tokens from the Real Testnet Faucet. Once funded, you’re ready to start testing.

Step 3: Test Key Features

Here are some activities you can try on the REAL Testnet:

• Tokenize an RWA: Use the Real platform at app.real.finance to simulate tokenizing a test asset (e.g., a piece of real estate or inventory).

• Deploy a Smart Contract: Write and deploy a smart contract using CosmWasm. Follow our Tutorials for a step-by-step guide.

• Stake Test $REAL Tokens: Simulate staking by delegating test $REAL tokens to a validator. See our Consensus Guide.

• Interact with dApps: Explore dApps built on Real by visiting our Ecosystem page.

Step 4: Monitor Your Activity

Use the Real Testnet Explorer to track your transactions and test activities:

• Explorer URL: explorer-testnet.real.finance

• Search for your wallet address or transaction hashes to view details.

Transitioning to the Mainnet

Once you’re comfortable with the REAL Testnet, you can deploy your applications or workflows on the REAL Mainnet. The process is nearly identical, but you’ll need real $REAL tokens for transaction fees. Learn more in our Mainnet Guide.
