# Testnet Configuration

{% hint style="info" %}
The old testnet is deprecated and has been upgraded to the ONINO Staging Net. Please us the configuration below for futher developments.
{% endhint %}

**ONINO Staging Net** is a public test network for trying out ONINO without real funds. It uses test-ONI tokens (`tONI`) and is ideal for development and community testing. The Testnet’s configuration is as follows:

* RPC: <http://18.196.217.176:8080>
* Chain ID: 4002
* Token Symbol: sONI
* Explorer: <https://staging.explorer.onino.io/>
* **Faucet:** <https://faucet.onino.io> – Use this to obtain free testnet ONI (tONI) for development and testing.

Because the Staging Net is EVM-compatible, you can add it to MetaMask or other wallets as a custom network using the above RPC and chain ID (for example, in MetaMask, network name "ONINO Staging Net", chain ID 4002, currency symbol sONI). The Staging Net is periodically updated as new protocol features are tested. Contracts deployed on testnet are for testing only and can be re-deployed as needed on Mainnet.

**Additional Notes:** The ONINO Staging Net is solely for experimentation; sONI tokens have no real value. All protocol upgrades and new features are trialed here first. Currently, like Mainnet, there is no cross-chain bridge for the Staging Net (its tokens are obtained via the faucet). The validator set on Staging Net is controlled for now (to ensure stability during testing phases), but anyone can use the network to build and test applications freely.
