⚠️ The Hyperspace Testnet has been discontinued as of May 31, 2023. ⚠️

Please use the Calibration testnet.

Wallaby has been shut down until further notice and Hyperspace is the main testnet for Filecoin developers and testing FEVM releases.

In the future, Wallaby will be used for testing bleeding-edge Wasm FVM releases (see the FVM Roadmap at https://fvm.filecoin.io).

Wallaby Testnet

Meta info about Wallaby Weekly, a bleeding edge testnet for FVM development

• Not sure which testnet to use? Start with Hyperspace - a stable testnet for Filecoin developers. Wallaby is only for future experimental releases.

• Info about all testnets

Quickstart

1. Add the Wallaby testnet to your wallet (e.g. MetaMask).
   • Go to https://chainlist.org/chain/31415
   • Click on "Connect wallet"
2. Create a new account in MetaMask to use with Filecoin.
3. Use the faucet to draw funds to your Ethereum address (it will be converted behind the scenes to a Filecoin f4 address)
4. Follow the transaction in one of the recommended Wallaby testnet explorers:
   • https://wallaby.filfox.info/en
   • https://explorer.glif.io/ (select Wallaby from the networks dropdown)
5. Your account is now funded and can be used in Ethereum tools such as Hardhat, Foundry, Remix, etc.

• MetaMask (HowTo):

  • Open MetaMask and add a new network:
    • Name: Filecoin Wallaby
    • RPC URL: https://wallaby.node.glif.io/rpc/v0 (once the public RPC has been updated, otherwise use appropriate private URL - please see the note below)
    • ChainID: 31415 (Wallaby's )
    • Currency symbol: tFIL (Test FIL).
  • Create a new account in MetaMask to use with Filecoin.
  • (OPTIONAL - the faucet accepts 0x style addresses now) Go to https://explorer.glif.io/ethereum/, and select the account to see its f4 address.
  • Use the faucet to draw funds to your f4 (0x style addresses are translated automatically to f4's in the backend) or alternatively use lotus send to transfer funds to the f4 address.
  • Wait until the transaction process, and verify that the funds appear in MetaMask.
  • Create another new account in MetaMask, (optional) obtain its f4 address again.
  • Use MetaMask to send funds from your first account to your second account.
  • Notes on MM
    • Note that you may need to increase the gas limit manually because there's something strange going on with gas estimation at the moment.
  • Note on GLIF:
    • The GLIF explorer seems to have some problems with f4 addresses right now, please refer to the #fil-net-wallaby-discuss for questions/solutions
