Block explorers provide a user-friendly interface to track transactions, addresses, tokens, and other activities on Plasma.

Block Explorers

Cross-chain providers offer cross-chain messaging and asset bridging for Plasma.

Cross-Chain

Faucets provide developers and users with free testnet tokens needed to deploy contracts and execute transactions on the Plasma Testnet.

Faucets

Indexers help transform raw blockchain data on Plasma into structured, queryable formats.

Indexers

Oracle providers bridge offchain data and computation to Plasma’s EVM-compatible blockchain.

Oracles

RPC providers offer access to Plasma’s network, ensuring low-latency, high-uptime connectivity for building and deploying protocols.

RPC Providers

Understand the stablecoin payment stack and how Plasma is built to optimize the developer experience.

Troubleshooting

Preparing for future consensus node operation on Plasma mainnet

Preparation

Set up a development environment and deploy a smart contract to the Plasma testnet.

Quickstart

Configure your tools and connect to Plasma for smart contract development.

Set Up Dev Environment

Connect a browser wallet to the Plasma Testnet 

Browser Wallet Setup

Configuration reference for connecting to the Plasma Testnet. Mainnet launch is scheduled for later this year.

Testnet Chain Details

This guide shows you how to deploy smart contracts on Plasma using Foundry, Hardhat, and Ethers.js. Plasma is fully EVM compatible, so contracts written for Ethereum require no code changes.

Deploy a Contract

This guide shows how to verify smart contracts on Plasma using Foundry, Hardhat, and Ethers.js. Verification makes contract source code publicly accessible on block explorers and ensures transparency for users.

Verify a Contract

This guide walks you through getting test tokens (XPL) for the Plasma testnet. Test tokens are required to pay for transaction fees when deploying contracts, sending transactions, and interacting with applications on the testnet.
