Testnet

Unlike the Mainnet, the Testnet is a blockchain network that is not yet operational and has not yet been released. Testnets are often used to test functionalities before the release of a new blockchain network.

Testnets are also used to test changes or new functionalities on a separate blockchain or to develop existing blockchain networks.
