# Testing (Testnet) Guide

## <mark style="color:blue;">Introduction</mark>

Welcome to the AkashicPay Testnet guide! This guide will walk you through the process of testing AkashicPay’s features in a safe, simulated environment before deploying on the mainnet. The testnet allows developers and users to experiment with transactions, smart contracts, and other functionalities without risking real crypto assets.

## <mark style="color:blue;">**What is the AkashicPay Testnet?**</mark>

The AkashicPay Testnet is a testing environment that mimics the mainnet but uses test tokens and testing environment instead of real cryptocurrency. It is designed for:

* **Developers** testing integrations.
* **Users** familiarising themselves with AkashicPay’s features.

### <mark style="color:blue;">**Prerequisites**</mark>

Before you begin, make sure you have:

* **Access the AkashicPay Testnet Dashboard**
  1. Install [**AkashicLink (Testnet)**](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/akashiclink-testnet/cbjaeakegfefnhommfnkglbfdgjlehpj) if you haven’t already.
  2. Visit [**testnet.akashicpay.com**](https://testnet.akashicpay.com/) and log in using your **AkashicLink (Testnet)**.
  3. Complete the onboarding process to gain access to the testnet environment.
* **Generate Your API/SDK KeyPair**
  1. Navigate to **KeyPair Settings** in the dashboard.
  2. Click **"Generate KeyPair"** to create your **API/SDK KeyPair**.
  3. Securely store your **API/SDK KeyPair** — they will be needed for integration.
* **Configure Callback URLs (Webhook Setup)**
  1. Go to the **Callback Settings** page.
  2. Enter your **Callback URLs** where transaction notifications should be sent (e.g., for deposit confirmations).
  3. Save the settings to ensure real-time updates during testing.

### <mark style="color:blue;">**Next Steps**</mark>

In the following sections, we’ll cover:

* Creating test deposit addresses.
* Executing test transactions.
* Finding the Testnet on your third-party wallet.
* Testcoins faucet.

### <mark style="color:blue;">**Testing AkashicPay on Testnet: Step-by-Step Guide**</mark>

1. **Create a Test Deposit Address**
   1. Refer to the [**AkashicPay SDK**](https://docs.akashicpay.com/sdk/getting-started-with-sdk#testing) **or** [**SecureAPI**](https://docs.akashicpay.com/secureapi/getting-started-with-secureapi) **documentation** to set up a test environment.
   2. Generate a **deposit address** on either:
      1. **Tron (Shasta Testnet)**
      2. **Ethereum (Sepolia Testnet)**
      3. **BNB Smart Chain (BNB Smart Chain Testnet)**
      4. **Solana (Solana Devnet)**
   3. This simulates an end-user’s deposit address in a **production environment**.
2. **Send a Test Transaction**
   1. Using a **compatible wallet** (e.g., MetaMask for Sepolia and BNB Chain, TronLink for Shasta, Phantom for Solana etc.) loaded with **testnet tokens**, send a small transfer to the [testnet deposit address](https://docs.akashicpay.com/sdk/functions/getdepositaddress) you generated.
      1. Monitor the transaction:
         1. Check the **AkashicScan testnet** [**block explorer**](https://testnet.akashicscan.com).
         2. Verify that the **callback URL** receives a confirmation.
         3. Confirm the deposit reflects in your **AkashicPay Testnet dashboard**.

## <mark style="color:blue;">Where is the Testnet on a third-party wallet?</mark>

### <mark style="color:blue;">Tron-SHASTA</mark>

Open a Compatible Wallet and navigate to the Testnet:

* Use a third-party wallet like **TronLink** (for Tron Shasta Testnet).
* Ensure you’re connected to the correct **testnet** by following the screenshots below.
* If you have [requested the testcoins](#faucet) to the Tron address you generated from TronLink, they will appear here after you have switched to the Testnet.

Open a Compatible Wallet and navigate to the Destnet:

* Use a third-party wallet like **Phantom** (for Solana Devnet).
* Ensure you’re connected to the correct **devnet** by selecting the correct details and the screenshots below.
* You can request testcoins directly from us. And if you already have previously, they will appear here after you have switched to Testnet and added the token address.
