Frequently Asked Questions

What is Helix Testnet?

Helix Testnet is a testing environment for the decentralized Helix blockchain network. It allows developers and users to interact with and test the blockchain network before the mainnet release.

What are the phases of the Nuklai Testnet?

  • Phase 1: Deployment and Stress Testing (now)

  • Phase 2: Extending Helix's features together with first partners/builders

  • Phase 3: Mainnet Launch

What is the purpose of Phase 1?

Phase 1 aims to showcase and further strengthen the robustness of Helix.

What happens after Phase 1 ends?

Developers can request features to be added to Helix before the mainnet launch.

What are the key features available during Phase 1?

  • Helix Testnet live to the public

  • Testnet Faucet for requesting test NAI tokens

  • Interacting with Helix through a wallet like Keplr, the Nuklai CLI, Smart Contracts and RPC

How can I request test NAI tokens?

You can request test NAI tokens through NuklaiVM's Faucet.

Can I run my own validator node on Phase 1?

No, running own validator nodes is not enabled on Phase 1. However, you can delegate your NAI tokens to an existing validator node and earn some NAI tokens as rewards.

Can I send funds from somewhere else to the testnet in Phase 1?

Phase 1 is an isolated early testnet so we ask that you never send any funds from anywhere else to the testnet - not from Fuji testnet and not from mainnet either. Phase 1 is an isolated sandboxed testnet.

I lost some NAI tokens on the testnet. What do I do?

During Phase 1, things are expected to break and there is bound to be bugs and we may reset the testnet at anytime if we need to in which case you will lose all (testnet) tokens you held previously.
