Zug, Switzerland – Supra, the advanced Layer-1 blockchain with MultiVM support, integrated oracles, native randomness, cross-chain communication and automation features, is excited to launch its incentivized public testnet. This milestone marks a crucial step towards Supra’s mainnet debut and highlights the platform’s impressive capabilities, including achieving over 500,000 transactions per second (TPS) and sub-second latency when tested with 300 global nodes .

The early stage testnet is now live and currently available to select partner dApps and builders for internal testing. This controlled phase has allowed Supra to rigorously assess and refine its Layer-1 systems, ensuring robust security and stability. More than 160 dApps have been signed up to help stress test the network, providing crucial insights before wider public release.
Supra will also provide early access to its 512,000 verified token holders, allowing them to interact with the testnet and provide valuable feedback. The network will undergo planned stress testing to identify and address potential weaknesses, ensuring resilience and reliability before the mainnet launch.
Upcoming open testnet
The permissionless testnet will be launched within a few days. Users and developers will soon be able to claim Testnet tokens through a special tap, facilitating hands-on experience with token transfers and other on-chain activities. Access is provided through Supra’s official StarKey Wallet, allowing users to make simple transactions with test tokens.
In the initial rollout, Supra Move will support smart contracts, with plans to integrate an EVM environment shortly afterwards. This will pave the way for a unified MultiVM ecosystem, and support for Solana and Cosmos dApps will be introduced after the Token Generation Event.
To celebrate the launch of the testnet, Supra will host engaging games on its ‘Countdown to Blast Off’ platform, which offers opportunities to earn SUPRA tokens. This approach aims to increase community participation and reward early adopters with testnet tokens.
“The launch of our early-stage testnet is a critical milestone for Supra and the Web3 community. We strive to deliver secure, easy-to-use solutions and want the community to engage with our network. Your feedback will be very important for a successful launch of the mainnet.”
Joshua Tobkin, CEO of Supra
Next steps and community involvement
Supra invites the community and dApp partners to experiment with the testnet and to contact us with any technical questions. Detailed testnet documentation, tap guides, and tutorials are provided to help users claim testnet tokens and initiate transactions. The Supra team is encouraging high 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 the Token Generation Event and mainnet launch. Supra expresses its gratitude to supporters, community members and the team for their continued dedication and looks forward to pioneering the next era of blockchain technology.
