🧪Testnet Mode

Testnet mode provides a separate environment for testing purposes. Simply turn on the switch (or go to testnet.bitbadges.io). It is isolated from the production environment of BitBadges and uses its own resources, such as a testnet blockchain, database, API, and more.

Note: Third-party integrations (e.g. claim plugins) are the exact same.

Important Notes

You should treat testnet as an entirely SEPARATE service. NOTHING will carry over from normal mode (not even profiles, badges, settings, anything). Consider this before determining whether testnet mode is the correct option for you.

Differences

  • Some features available in production may not be accessible in testnet:

    • Off-chain balances managed by BitBadges are not hosted externally (via CDN)

    • Buying $BADGE credits

    • Push notifications

    • And more

  • Some restrictions may be more relaxed

    • No API keys required

    • Faucet may be more lenient

  • Performance also may differ from the production environment
