## Features

### Optimistic Rollup

The testnet chains use the [OP stack](https://optimism.mirror.xyz/fLk5UGjZDiXFuvQh6R_HscMQuuY9ABYNF7PI76-qJYs) and offer lightning-fast [confirmation times](broken://pages/CS0l068nqwIQsCbVldXu), high throughput, and [low fees](broken://pages/NoBgCt7jsnRlbXUjE40C). The technology and experience of the testnet chains are almost exactly the same as production rollups on mainnet. More information on the Rollup protocol is here: [Broken mention](broken://pages/ygEJ1O71KyKm4MugAyJ6)&#x20;

\
Due to their full EVM compatibility, most EVM-compatible developer tools will work with testnet rollups without any additional setup. You can find a list of included tools here:&#x20;

### Block explorer

Testnet rollups come bundled with a block explorer that allows you to view and analyze all transactions and balances on the chain.

### Bridge Interface

Each testnet rollup has an associated bridge between it and its L1. We offer an interface to access the bridge, which can be found at <https://testnet.caldera.dev/>
