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 significant milestone signifies a crucial step towards Supra’s mainnet debut and showcases the platform’s 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 accessible to selected partner dApps and developers for internal testing. This controlled phase has enabled Supra to meticulously evaluate and enhance its Layer-1 systems, ensuring robust security and stability. With over 160 dApps onboard for stress-testing the network, valuable insights are being gathered before the broader public release.
Supra is also granting 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 address any potential weaknesses, ensuring resilience and reliability for the 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, enabling hands-on experience with token transfers and other on-chain activities. Access will be provided through Supra’s official StarKey Wallet, allowing 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 pave the way for a unified MultiVM ecosystem, and following the 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 opportunities for users to earn SUPRA tokens. This initiative aims to increase community engagement and reward early adopters with testnet tokens.
“The launch of our early-stage testnet is a pivotal milestone for Supra and the Web3 community. We’re committed to delivering secure, user-friendly solutions and are eager to see the community engage with our network. Your feedback will be instrumental in ensuring a successful mainnet launch.”
Joshua Tobkin, CEO of Supra
Next Steps and Community Involvement
Supra encourages the community and dApp partners to start experimenting with 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 prepare for the mainnet launch.
This development represents a significant advancement in Supra’s roadmap, bringing the organization closer to its Token Generation Event and mainnet launch. Supra expresses gratitude to supporters, community members, and the team for their ongoing dedication and eagerly anticipates leading the next era of blockchain technology.
