Gas fees are paid in tBNB

Transactions on opBNB Testnet need a small amount of tBNB for network fees. The official faucet sends tBNB to BSC Testnet first, so getting it takes two quick steps.

1

Claim free test tBNB from the official BNB Chain faucet — it arrives on BSC Testnet.

Common questions

Does it cost anything?

No. The beta runs entirely on testnet — completely free, with no real money involved.

What wallet do I need?

First time, you set up a wallet through your Starzip account — just once. After that, you can connect your own wallet (MetaMask or another supported wallet) directly. Everything runs on the opBNB testnet.

What does “deposit” mean?

After claiming test USDT, you move it into your trading balance with one tap. Then you're ready to trade.

Do I need tBNB for gas fees?

Yes. opBNB Testnet charges a tiny gas fee in tBNB on every transaction. It's free — claim test tBNB from the official BNB Chain faucet (it arrives on BSC Testnet), then bridge it to opBNB Testnet with the official testnet bridge. Both links are in the guide above.

Will my balance carry over?

No. This is a testnet beta — all balances and history reset when the full service goes live.
