Stagenets

Stagenets are private testnets that replicate EVM blockchains. They do this by mainnet replay — continuously replaying their real mainnet blocks. This makes their state mirror the replicated chain’s evolving state.

They also come with a set of built-in features that help you test and analyse your on-chain apps as you stage them on your Stagenet.

Interaction

Just like a real EVM blockchain, Stagenets expose a standard Ethereum JSON-RPC interface. This means you can interact with them using familiar tools — frameworks like Hardhat or Foundry, wallets like MetaMask, or libraries such as ethers.js or viem. All you need is their RPC URL, which you can get from your project’s dashboard.

Features

Stagenets offer Workspaces — scoped analytics dashboards for the individual contracts and wallets that make up your EVM application.

Stagenets have GitHub-linked Contract CI/CD. Connect a repository to import its contracts and have Workspaces automatically generated for them when they are deployed. New and updated contracts are imported as they are pushed to the repository.

Stagenets have a built-in Simulation Framework that you can use to send 1000s of transactions rapidly through your contracts and analyse the results.

Stagenets come with DeFi Integrations — dedicated interfaces to simulate custom DeFi behaviour and inspect your contract’s DeFi operations.

Stagenets also come with a suite of developer utilities to enhance the smart contract development experience:

• Token Faucet — get unlimited tokens.
• Wallet Generator — get a funded wallet instantly.
• Platform Wallet — send instant and gasless transactions.
• Activity Scheduler — simulate recurring user activity.
