IDEAOLOGY, a leading blockchain innovator founded by Khaled Alkalbani, is excited to announce the official launch of the IDEA 3.0 Testnet Beta.
With the mainnet set to launch in Q2 2025, IDEA 3.0 promises to bring a new era of decentralised applications (dApps), seamless financial transactions, and cross-chain interoperability.
What is IDEA 3.0?
IDEA 3.0 is an advanced blockchain protocol built for speed, security, and decentralisation. Unlike traditional blockchain networks that suffer from congestion and high fees, IDEA 3.0 introduces a fixed maximum stake system to ensure fair participation and prevent validator dominance. With an epoch-based consensus model, the network achieves high throughput while maintaining decentralisation and security. Test Networks
Key Components of IDEA 3.0:
Hybrid PoS Consensus: IDEA 3.0 utilises a unique Proof of Stake (PoS) model with a fixed maximum stake of 50 tokens per validator to prevent centralisation and ensure network stability.
High Transaction Speed: Capable of processing 100,000 transactions per second (TPS), making it ideal for high-demand applications like DeFi, gaming, and supply chain management.
Smart Contract Support: Supports Solidity and Vyper for dApp development, allowing developers to build a wide range of blockchain applications.
Cross-Chain Compatibility: Enables seamless asset transfers between Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Solana, and Polygon, bridging liquidity and interoperability.
Decentralized Governance: Uses on-chain voting to allow community participation in network upgrades and decision-making.
Security & Stability: Implements multi-layered cryptographic protections, real-time network monitoring, and a slashing mechanism to penalise malicious actors.
What is IDEA Testnet Explorer?
IDEASCAN is a powerful blockchain explorer for tracking IDEA token transactions, wallet balances, block times, and more—all in an easy-to-read format. IDEASCAN offers a safe testing space for developers to try unlimited transactions without risking real funds.For developers, IDEASCAN provides a safe testing environment. You can:
Run unlimited test transactions
Experiment without risking real funds
Make mistakes with zero real-world consequences
The IDEA testnet uses valueless tokens, meaning:
No financial risk during testing
Perfect for smart contract trials
No-cost debugging before launch
When you're ready, move to the mainnet for real transactions.
Build smarter. Test freely. Launch confidently.
The Difference Between IDEATestnet and Other Testnets:
IDEA 3.0 addresses key limitations faced by current blockchain networks:
Ethereum struggles with high gas fees and network congestion.
Binance Smart Chain (BSC) has fast transactions but is highly centralized.
Solana offers high TPS but suffers from frequent network outages.
Cardano provides decentralization but has slow transaction speeds.
By separating the roles, IDEASCAN's ecosystem ensures that specific types of testing and development are conducted in the most appropriate and efficient environments.
How to Use IDEA Testnet?
Using the test network only requires two simple steps:
Retrieving an RPC URL to connect to the network;
Funding the wallet with test tokens.
Add IDEA Network to your wallet by entering the network details:
Network Name: IDEA 3.0
RPC URL: https://node1.ideascan.io/
Chain ID: 2960
Currency Symbol: IDEA
Block Explorer URL: https://www.ideascan.io/
To perform transactions and interact with smart contracts on testnet, developers need test tokens.
Why IDEASCAN? The Only Chain With Built-In Token Creation
IDEAOLOGY’s ecosystem is powered by its IDEA 3.0 blockchain, which features a hybrid Proof of Stake Fixed Protocol (PoSfp) system with a fixed maximum stake to prevent centralization.
Instant Token CreationCreate tokens in just 1 minute—no third-party tools needed. Other chains like Ethereum or Solana don’t offer this built-in feature.
How To Get an IDEA Faucet?:
Guide to Claiming IDEA Testnet Tokens:If you are using the IDEA token then the platform will do automatic verification within 5-8 minutes. But firstly you have to get the coin from the Faucet which is limited to 0.01. After that you can create your own token by simply clicking on the “Create Token” from the side bar.
Conclusion
We are eager to hear about your experience with IDEA3.0 on Testnet throughout all the phases of rollout. Please share your thoughts with the community, including your favorite features, desired improvements, and general impressions.

FAQs:
What is IDEA Testnet?
IDEA Testnet is a practice environment where developers can test transactions, smart contracts, and dApps without using real funds. It mimics the mainnet but uses valueless test tokens.Visit Now: ideascan.io
How is IDEA Testnet different from IDEA Mainnet?
The testnet is for experimentation only - no real money is involved. The mainnet handles actual transactions with economic value after thorough testing and audits.
Why should developers use IDEA Testnet?
It allows risk-free:• Smart contract testing• Debugging transactions• Protocol experimentationBefore launching on mainnet.
Where do I get the latest network updates?
Join our X & Telegram channel to stay updated and connect with other IDEAChain builders.
Are testnet tokens worth real money?
No. Testnet tokens (like test-IDEA) have no monetary value and are only for development purposes.
How do I get testnet tokens?
Simply use IDEA's faucet to request free test tokens for your development needs.
