Zug, Switzerland — Supra, the cutting-edge Layer-1 blockchain with MultiVM support, integrated oracles, native randomness, cross-chain communication, and automation features, is thrilled to announce the launch of its incentivized public testnet. This marks a significant milestone towards Supra’s upcoming mainnet launch, showcasing its impressive capabilities such as achieving over 500,000 transactions per second (TPS) and sub-second latency during tests with 300 global nodes.

The early-stage testnet is now live and available to selected partner dApps and developers for internal testing. This controlled phase has enabled Supra to thoroughly evaluate and enhance its Layer-1 systems, ensuring strong security and stability. With over 160 dApps participating in stress-testing the network, valuable insights are being gathered prior to the wider public release.
Supra is also extending early access to its 512,000 verified token holders, allowing them to engage with the testnet and provide essential feedback. Planned stress-tests will be conducted to identify and resolve any potential weaknesses, ensuring a resilient and reliable mainnet launch.
Upcoming Open Testnet
The permissionless testnet is scheduled to launch in the coming days. Users and developers will soon have the opportunity to claim testnet tokens from a dedicated faucet, facilitating hands-on experience with token transfers and other on-chain activities. Access will be available through Supra’s official StarKey Wallet, enabling users to execute simple transactions with test tokens.
Initially, Supra will support Move smart contracts, with plans to integrate an EVM environment shortly after. This will establish a unified MultiVM ecosystem, and post-Token Generation Event, support for Solana and Cosmos dApps will be introduced.
To celebrate the testnet launch, Supra will host interactive games on its “Countdown to Blast Off” platform, offering chances to earn SUPRA tokens. This strategy aims to increase community engagement and reward early adopters with testnet tokens.
“The launch of our early-stage testnet is a crucial milestone for Supra and the Web3 community. We are dedicated to delivering secure, user-friendly solutions and are excited to see the community interact with our network. Your feedback will play a key role in ensuring a successful mainnet launch.”
Joshua Tobkin, CEO of Supra
Next Steps and Community Participation
Supra encourages the community and dApp partners to start exploring the testnet and reach out with any technical queries. Detailed testnet documentation, faucet guides, and tutorials will be provided to assist users in claiming testnet tokens and initiating transactions. The Supra team encourages active participation and feedback as they gear up for the mainnet launch.
This progress signifies a significant step forward in Supra’s roadmap, bringing the organization closer to its Token Generation Event and mainnet debut. Supra expresses gratitude to its supporters, community members, and team for their unwavering commitment and looks forward to leading the next chapter in blockchain technology.
