# Start testing Tavchain

> Start testing Tavchain with wallet setup, faucet funding, transfers and Solidity development, using the public testnet interfaces.

Use Tavchain Testnet to develop transfers and Solidity applications with valueless Test TAV. You can use the public endpoints without running a node.

> [!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.

## Start testing

1. [Connect an EVM wallet](https://docs.tavchain.safeney.com/tavchain/connect.md) to chain ID **771002**.
2. [Request Test TAV](https://docs.tavchain.safeney.com/tavchain/faucet.md) from the faucet.
3. [Send a small transfer](https://docs.tavchain.safeney.com/tavchain/first-transfer.md) and check its receipt.
4. [Deploy a contract](https://docs.tavchain.safeney.com/tavchain/contracts.md) with Remix or Hardhat.
5. Inspect transactions and contract source in the [explorer](https://explorer.tavchain.safeney.com/).

## Choose an interface

Use [Ethereum JSON-RPC](https://docs.tavchain.safeney.com/tavchain/http-api.md) for application queries and transaction submission. To verify chain history locally, follow [Run a full node](https://docs.tavchain.safeney.com/tavchain/operate.md).

## Testnet expectations

The network is unaudited, with initial validators under shared administration. Availability is best effort. Native staking, delegation, fee distribution and governance are configured for the testnet; official bridges are unavailable, and no test-balance conversion to mainnet is announced.
