Introduction to the Testnet

DuckChain is the first TON Consumer layer powered by TONScale Labs and Arbitrum. Dedicated to bringing billions of telegram users from off-chain to on-chain. We’re leading the way for mass TON adoption by integrating TON users with EVM infrastructure and liquidity solutions.

To support this mission, our testnet is now live!

To celebrate the launch of the DuckChain testnet, we’re introducing the Star Season event. This event aims to seamlessly bring Web2 users, such as those on Telegram, into the DuckChain ecosystem, allowing them to experience the DuckChain network effortlessly.

Get ready to mint our exclusive collaborative NFTs with leading blockchain projects like Arbitrum, Nubit, Particle Network, OKX Explorer, Camelot, Gate Wallet!

Utility of Co-branded NFTs

Co-brand NFTs are essential items that will unlock future airdrops from DuckChain and other mysterious rewards. Collecting a variety of Duck NFTs can increase your future airdrop rewards. Additionally, holders of certain NFTs will receive extra rewards from our partners.

Next, please enjoy and have fun exploring our testnet!

Star Gas System

Telegram Star is a new way to pay for digital goods and services within the Telegram ecosystem. Users can acquire Stars through PremiumBot or Fragment. These Stars can be used to pay for various digital products offered by bots, including e-books, online courses, and items in Telegram games.

DuckChain has now integrated Telegram Star as the gas fee system for its testnet. By using Stars, Web2 users can easily participate in DuckChain activities, such as minting NFTs, without needing traditional cryptocurrencies or wallets. The Stars deposited during the testnet will be synchronized on the mainnet in the future, and any Stars consumed during the testnet will not affect the user’s balance, ensuring a simple and risk-free experience.

How to Play in the Testnet Minting

The Testnet Starts on September 18th.

1\ Link Telegram and Generate a DuckChain Address

When you join the Star Season event, DuckChain will automatically link your Telegram account and create a DuckChain address for you. No extra steps required — just check your address directly on the event page.

2\ Deposit Star

Deposit Stars by clicking “Deposit,” select the amount, confirm, and pay. These Stars will be stored for future use in the DuckChain mainnet. Deposited Stars are crucial for future airdrop eligibility!

If you run out of DuckChain TON tokens, you can cross Stars over DuckChain as gas for minting NFTs and you will earn 5 more mint opportunities.

How to Top Up Stars

3\ Claim Free Test TON

Claim 0.001 TON every 24 hours from the DuckChain testnet and use it for transactions, with adjustments possible based on network conditions.

4\ Mint Duck NFTs

Start with one free chance to mint a Duck NFT using the test TON from the faucet, which allows for a single mint. However, by depositing Star, you can unlock five additional minting chances. You can also choose to cover the gas fees with Star for a seamless minting experience.

As a special bonus for early DuckChain supporters, users who joined the DuckChain mini-app before the testnet activity will receive 2 extra minting chances.

5\ Invite Friends to Earn Additional Duck NFTs

And you can earn an additional Duck NFT mint opportunity for every five friends you invite via a referral link. No limit to how many you can invite — more friends, more chances to mint!

6\ Check Your NFT Collection

After minting, you can view your NFTs in your collection. The NFTs you receive are randomly distributed. These collaboration NFTs may offer the opportunity to receive airdrops and rewards from partner projects. Keep an eye on your collection for a chance to unlock exciting bonuses!
