A testnet, or testing network, is an alternative blockchain used for testing purposes. Testnets simulate the environment of a blockchain, allowing developers to test new features or smart contracts without risking real assets or impacting the main network. Transactions on a testnet do not carry any real value and allow for a safe environment to identify bugs and verify system integrity. Testnets are crucial in the development and deployment process of blockchain technologies, ensuring that applications run smoothly before being launched on the mainnet (the main network).

Chain Abstraction
Chain abstraction is an initiative that seeks to abstract away the complexity of interacting with blockchains. The idea is for users to have a single interface for all their onchain activity; this would remove the barriers that users face when interacting with blockchain technology.
