What is Avalanche Fuji?

Avalanche Fuji is Avalanche's testnet, designed for developers to build and test applications before mainnet deployment. It supports EVM-compatible C-Chain operations, including Solidity smart contracts and Ethereum-based tools.

Fuji enables testing of Subnet-EVM deployments, validator nodes, and custom Layer 1 blockchains, using test AVAX as currency. It replicates mainnet functionality for a smooth transition from testing to production.

Bottom Line

Adding Avalanche Fuji to MetaMask gives developers access to a testnet that mirrors mainnet functionality. 

By connecting through Chainlist or entering settings manually, developers can safely test and deploy blockchain applications before moving to production.
