The Stagenet

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 tools that help you analyse, test, and iterate on your contracts 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 provide Workspaces that combine analytics and tools to create dedicated portal for you to inspect and test the behaviour of your project’s contracts and wallets.

Stagenets support GitHub-linked Contract CI/CD. Connect a repository to sync its contracts, auto-provision a Workspace for each one, and import new and updated contracts as they are pushed.

Stagenets also offer DeFi Integrations — built-in tools and dashboards to simulate custom DeFi protocol behaviour and inspect your contract’s DeFi operations.

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

• Explorer
• Token Faucet
• Wallet Generator
• Platform Wallet
• Command Palette
