If you want to mint NFTs, a collection, buy or explore Rarible but want to try the features before being active on our main website, you can use our test networks. They are free of charge.
The current, active test network that we maintain regularly is: https://beta.rarible.com/
You can also test out Rarible's features on: https://testnet.rarible.com/ however, it isn't updated as regularly as the prior stated website.
Note the following:
- Sometimes there may be some minor changes or updates to our test networks which could differ from what is currently live on our main website
- You will need some test tokens to fund minting or purchasing of NFTs on testnet even though it is free
Where to Get Test Tokens:
Note: For some blockchains you may need to bridge from one test token to another in your wallet.
Steps to Connect to Rarible's Test Network:
Note: The steps are the same as logging in to Rarible.com's mainnet.
1. Go on to https://beta.rarible.com/.
2. Click on "Connect wallet" on the top right-hand corner of the home page.
3. Select your blockchain and wallet.
4. In your wallet, agree to signing in to the test network.
5. You are now connected to our testnet and can try out Rarible's features for free.
If for some reason the network does not switch to your blockchain's testnet, try one of the following:
- Ensure you are connecting to the correct blockchain
- Ensure you are connecting to the correct wallet
- Ensure that you have an Api-Key
- If you do not have an Api-Key, create one on: https://www.infura.io/ and then save this Api-Key on your wallet, under your networks (testnets)
