Self Chain Incentivized Testnet Phase 2 is LIVE
Web3 is evolving fast, and with it, the need for smarter, more scalable infrastructure has never been greater. Developers are no longer just looking for a chain to deploy on—they need a modular, high-performance environment that unlocks seamless execution, security, and interoperability. That’s exactly what Self Chain Testnet Phase 2 is here to deliver.
Self Chain Testnet Phase 2 is officially LIVE, introducing CosmWasm smart contract support and a fully optimized testing ground for developers building on Self Chain.
Testnet Phase 2: Unlocking Smart Contracts on Self Chain
A new phase of innovation begins. Developers can now deploy, experiment, and optimize smart contracts on Self Chain with CosmWasm, unlocking seamless execution, security, and cross-chain interoperability.
With Testnet Phase 2 now live, Self Chain introduces CosmWasm smart contract support, unlocking a new level of modular, high-performance smart contracts designed for scalability and seamless cross-chain functionality.
This phase also focuses on refining node-running operations on Self Chain, strengthening network security, and enhancing overall infrastructure performance by providing a dedicated environment for testing and optimization.
Why CosmWasm?
CosmWasm is transforming how smart contracts are built, offering high efficiency, flexibility, and multi-chain compatibility. We have enabled CosmWasm on our modular Layer 1, creating a seamless environment for developers to deploy and scale next-generation decentralized applications.
CosmWasm’s design allows for:
- Modular smart contracts that improve scalability.
- Cross-chain interactions, enabling contracts to communicate with multiple chains within the Cosmos ecosystem using IBC.
- Optimized execution environments, with lightweight execution that reduces gas fees and improves efficiency.
- Enhanced security model, preventing reentrancy attacks and other common vulnerabilities in smart contracts.
By combining CosmWasm’s advanced contract framework with Self Chain’s powerful execution layer, builders can create smarter, more efficient applications.
A Massive Developer Grant Program is Dropping Soon
Following this testnet, something much bigger is coming to our developer community.
We’re rolling out a Developer Grant Program, designed to empower teams pushing the limits of CosmWasm smart contract development on Self Chain and fueling the next wave of innovation on our infrastructure.
The goal is to create a lasting Web3 infrastructure that pushes the space forward and we want builders like you to be part of it.
Full details will be revealed soon. Stay tuned.
Building the Foundation of a Seamless Web3 Future
This testnet serves as an opportunity to refine, optimize, and contribute to Self Chain’s growing infrastructure. Whether you’re a node operator looking to optimize node performance or a developer exploring CosmWasm in a safe testing environment, this phase provides the ideal space to build, and scale efficiently.
