Testnets on CenturionDEX#

Fornax and Centaurus are Centurion testnets for development and practice. They use tCTN for network costs, keep state separate from mainnet, and should never be treated as markets for real-value assets.

Available test networks#

  • Fornax: chain ID 287, native tCTN.
  • Centaurus: chain ID 288, native tCTN.

Centurion mainnet uses chain ID 286 and native CTN. Mainnet assets do not appear on either testnet, even when your wallet address is the same.

What testnets are for#

A supported CenturionDEX test environment can help you:

  • Practice wallet connections and network switching.
  • Test CRC-20 approvals and token transfers.
  • Exercise v2 or v3 integrations deployed to that testnet.
  • Validate application code without intentionally risking mainnet assets.
  • Learn how Newton estimates, reverts, and transaction confirmations appear.

Testnet contracts, tokens, pools, and liquidity may differ from mainnet. A successful test does not prove that a production transaction will have the same price, liquidity, fee earnings, or security outcome.

tCTN has no mainnet value#

tCTN exists to pay testnet network costs. It is not CTN, cannot pay mainnet fees, and should not be bought as an investment. Use only the current official distribution method, if available.

Anyone asking you to send real assets, pay a fee, or disclose wallet secrets to receive tCTN is attempting to put you at risk.

Testnet lifecycle#

Test networks can be upgraded, paused, reconfigured, or reset as development needs change. Before testing, verify current status, RPC configuration, explorer access, and deployed CenturionDEX contracts through official Centurion channels.

Do not hard-code an old testnet contract or endpoint into production software without an independent current check.

Common issues#

  • No test tokens: confirm the current official tCTN distribution method.
  • A mainnet token is missing: locate the separate test deployment, if one exists.
  • A feature is unavailable: not every mainnet contract must be deployed on every testnet.
  • A transaction remains pending: verify testnet status and wallet nonce state.
  • The wallet displays CTN instead of tCTN: inspect the chain ID rather than trusting the symbol.

Stay safe#

Use a separate low-value testing account when practical. Testnets still use real wallet signatures and can expose approvals or keys if you visit a malicious site. Never enter a mainnet recovery phrase into a test tool.
