Stellar offers dedicated test networks to help developers safely build, test, and experiment without using real assets. These environments replicate mainnet behavior but operate with test tokens and development-focused infrastructure.

Testnet:TheStellar Testnetis ideal for everyday development. It mirrors mainnet functionality, allowing you to simulate real-world interactions without financial risk.

Futurenet: Futurenetis a special test network that includesupcoming, experimental featuresnot yet available on the standard testnet or mainnet.

Both networks are essential tools for Stellar developers looking to build secure, forward-compatible applications.
