What is Monad testnet?

Monad testnet is the public test network for Monad, chain ID 10143, where developers deploy and try contracts with free test MON before going to mainnet.

The testnet RPC endpoint is https://testnet-rpc.monad.xyz, the block explorer is https://testnet.monadexplorer.com, and test tokens come from the faucet at https://faucet.monad.xyz. Behaviour matches mainnet, so it is the right place to validate deployments, gas, and parallel behaviour.
