# Network information

> Tavchain Testnet chain IDs, RPC URL, currency, explorer, faucet, address formats and genesis identity for wallets and node operators.

Use the following settings to connect wallets and applications to Tavchain Testnet. Wallets use the numeric EVM chain ID; native node tools use the separate native identifier.

> [!NOTE]
>
> This testnet uses EVM chain ID 771002. Balances, account nonces and contracts from the previous 771001 networks are not carried forward. Select the new wallet network and request fresh Test TAV from the faucet.

## Testnet settings

| Setting | Value |
| - | - |
| Network name | Tavchain Testnet |
| EVM chain ID | `771002` (hex `0xbc3ba`) |
| RPC URL | `https://api.testnet.tavchain.safeney.com/` |
| Native currency | Tavcoin (`TAV`), 18 decimals |
| Explorer | `https://explorer.tavchain.safeney.com/` |
| Faucet | `https://faucet.tavchain.safeney.com/` |

## Native network identity

The native chain ID is `tavchaintestnet_771002-1`. Do not enter this string in a wallet's numeric chain-ID field.

The genesis SHA-256 is:

```text theme={null}
a101ab9ccf1478757af8a69d832548ea1167e552fe6d6ef6621a77447a54e924
```

Use the [signed release and network files](https://docs.tavchain.safeney.com/tavchain/operate/network-assets.md) when installing a node.

## Address formats

EVM addresses contain `0x` followed by 40 hexadecimal characters. Transaction hashes contain `0x` followed by 64 hexadecimal characters. Native tooling can display the corresponding account in `tav1…` form. Use the EVM address for wallets, the faucet and Ethereum JSON-RPC.

## Availability and security

Public RPC is a best-effort service with [usage limits](https://docs.tavchain.safeney.com/tavchain/http-api.md). The explorer is an index of chain data. Read the [security model](https://docs.tavchain.safeney.com/tavchain/learn/security.md) for the network's validator and trust assumptions.

Test TAV has no monetary value. Do not send assets from another network expecting conversion.
