Alpha Testnet User Guide

Welcome to Scroll's Alpha Testnet!

Thank you for testing out our Alpha Testnet. If you have questions or want to give feedback, join our Discord!

The Alpha Testnet consists of Ethereum's Goerli Testnet and the Scroll Alpha test network. Goerli is an Ethereum test network with PoS-based consensus, while Scroll Alpha is a zero-knowledge rollup testnet deployed on top of the former. There are some pre-deployed demo applications: a bridge between Goerli and Scroll Alpha based on the Hop Exchange UI, a block explorer for Scroll Alpha using Blockscout, and a rollup explorer.

To view submitted transactions, check out Ethereum's official Goerli block explorers on Etherscan and Scroll's Blockscout. You may also want to try out Dora or Scroll Explorer.

Here is the suggested workflow to explore the Testnet:

1. Add the Alpha Testnet configurations to your wallet.

2. Request test tokens in the Goerli network from any Ethereum Faucet app. (example)

3. Transfer test tokens from Goerli to Scroll Alpha through the Bridge app.

4. Transfer tokens to other wallets on Scroll Alpha using your wallet.

5. View the status of transactions and blocks in the Goerli & Alpha Block Explorers and the Rollup Explorer.

6. Withdraw tokens from Scroll Alpha to Goerli through the Bridge app.

You can find the instructions for each app in the rest of this user guide.
