Tavchain’s direction is a general-purpose blockchain for smart contracts and applications, shaped by Africa’s needs and open to builders worldwide. This page separates that direction from the workflows currently available on Tavchain Testnet.

Development direction

The focus is a reusable platform and a straightforward developer experience. Developers can build applications across payments, finance, DeFi, digital assets and other sectors, rather than being limited to one industry. Current work builds on wallet access, Solidity development, contract verification, public source and node tooling. Future application categories are opportunities for builders, not announced Tavchain products or delivery commitments.

Available workflows

  • Custom-network wallet connection and native TAV transfers.
  • Test-token funding through the faucet.
  • Solidity deployment and interaction through Remix and Hardhat.
  • Contract-source verification through the explorer.
  • Public full-node synchronization and Linux service operation.
See Release information for supported interfaces and software.

Participation and connectivity

The testnet enables native TAV staking, delegation, fee distribution and governance. The initial validators remain centrally operated, and no official cross-chain bridge is available. No mainnet launch date or conversion of test balances is announced.

Earlier development

The earlier custom Rust/WASM prototype used a different network and transaction format. Current instructions apply to the Cronos-derived EVM testnet. Old prototype clients and balances are not interchangeable with this network. Start building · Network identity
