Pontus-X Testnet

The Pontus-X Testnet is designed to be a robust testing environment for completed use cases fully developed and vetted on the Devnet. The Testnet provides a stable and reliable platform for final validation before projects are potentially deployed in real-world applications.

Key Features and Components

Network Configuration

  • Chain ID: 32457
  • Block Explorer URL: Pontus-X Explorer Testnet
  • Provider URL: https://provider.test.pontus-x.eu
  • Aquarius URL: https://aquarius.pontus-x.eu
  • Subgraph URL: https://subgraph.test.pontus-x.eu

Purpose and Usage

The Pontus-X Testnet is used for the following purposes:

  • Final Validation: Projects fully developed and tested on the Devnet are moved to the Testnet for final validation. This ensures stability and reliability before they are considered for production environments.
  • Testing Finished Use Cases: It runs finished use cases under conditions that closely resemble real-world scenarios, helping to identify any last-minute issues and ensuring the project's robustness.
  • Performance Testing: Conduct performance tests to evaluate how well the applications handle high transaction volumes and stress conditions.
  • Security Testing: Validate the security measures and identify potential vulnerabilities in a controlled environment.

Additional Tools and Services

  • Monitoring and Alerts: Integrate monitoring tools to monitor network performance and receive alerts in case of issues.
  • Logging and Analytics: Implement logging and analytics to gain insights into network usage patterns, transaction statistics, and performance metrics.
  • Automated Testing: Use automated testing tools to run continuous integration and deployment pipelines, ensuring code changes do not introduce new issues.

Benefits of the Pontus-X Testnet

  1. Ensured Stability: By providing a platform for project final validation, the Testnet ensures that only stable and reliable projects move forward.
  2. Risk Mitigation: It helps identify and resolve issues in a controlled environment, reducing risks when deploying projects to production.
  3. Real-World Simulation: The Testnet mimics real-world conditions, allowing for thorough testing and validation of use cases.
  4. Community Confidence: Successful testing on the Testnet builds confidence among community members and stakeholders in the projects' reliability.
  5. Cost-Effective Testing: Developers can test their applications without incurring the costs associated with mainnet transactions.
  6. Feedback Loop: This loop provides an opportunity for community feedback and iterative improvement before deployment to production.

Monitoring and Debugging

  • Block Explorer: Use the Pontus-X Explorer Testnet to monitor transactions, blocks, and addresses.
  • Logging: Enable detailed logging for your applications to capture transaction details, errors, and performance metrics.
