Explore the Future of Web3: Shardeum's Whitepaper Released!
Shardeum has launched a new parallel stable testnet called "Sphinx Dapp" for developers to onboard their dapps & take advantage of its 800K+ strong community. Sphinx Dapp testnet will operate in...
We’re thrilled to share a major update: We have launched a new, parallel testnet dedicated to developers and users called ‘Sphinx Dapp’ in addition to the existing Sphinx Validator testnet. This initiative marks a significant stride towards accelerating the onboarding of new dapps within the Shardeum ecosystem. It will ensure developers can deploy their contracts and dapps on the Sphinx Dapp testnet without losing momentum while our team debugs and stabilizes the Sphinx Validator Testnet.
In summary, the two testnets are:
The Sphinx Validator is for anyone looking to set up and run validators on Shardeum, claim testnet tokens from the faucet, and stake/unstake your test SHM.
Validators are requested to use this endpoint to connect with the Sphinx Validator testnet:
On the other hand, the Sphinx Dapp is for developers to deploy their applications and for users to test those applications. Unlike the Sphinx Validator testnet, the Sphinx Dapp testnet will be run by the Shardeum team with a limited number of validators. The Sphinx Dapp testnet will be open to the community to use and stress-test the dapps built by projects, share valuable feedback, and participate in the ecosystem growth leading to a successful mainnet launch.
Developers and users are requested to use this endpoint to connect with the Sphinx Dapp testnet:

=> Click here to start building/deploying your dapps on Shardeum, which has now grown to 800,000+ community members!
While the team is continuously working towards bringing stability to the Validator testnet by implementing slashing, RPC server updates, and more new features, launching this parallel testnet (Sphinx Dapp) will enable developers to deploy their dapps on a more stable network. As a result, we’ll see more dapps and projects building on Shardeum working towards perfecting their products and services.
