⛏️ TON Space adds support for the TON test network We’re excited to announce that developers can now test and build applications more quickly, all within Telegram. This was made possible by integrating the TON Testnet into TON Space 💎 ⛏ The test network (or testnet) is a separate blockchain where developers can safely implement updates without affecting the main network. This prevents potential instability on the main blockchain (also known as the mainnet or “core network”). Testnet allows updates to be thoroughly tested before deploying them to mainnet 🪙

Each application can have its own testnet, utilizing test tokens for transactions. You can get test TON here: @testgiver_ton_bot Please note: Test tokens cost nothing and cannot be exchanged for real crypto. Testnet is only intended to be used by developers and beta testers 🫴

Developers and testers can switch between testnet and mainnet in their TON Space settings. Additionally, we've prepared a special link for developers to include in their applications, making it easier for QA teams and beta testers to switch between networks 🗺
