How to become a tester for TON-based products

Today, we’re going to tell you about TON’s testing platform, commonly called the testnet, why it’s needed, and how users can participate in testing TON-based products.

The testnet is a network for experimentation — a sandbox, if you will — where developers put their products through stress tests to perfect their smart contracts.

In technical terms, the testnet is analogous to the mainnet; however, the Toncoin used on the testnet is not real and has no market value — it’s strictly used for testing purposes.

Before a service is set to launch on the mainnet, its project invites users to test out the product on the testnet, allowing anyone to become a product tester.

We’ve put together a guide explaining how to create a TON testnet crypto wallet and how to navigate the testnet.
