I. Introduction

1. What is the Pixpel Launchpad Testnet?

It's a testing environment where developers and investors can interact with the Pixpel Launchpad without using real funds. It mirrors the mainnet's functionality so users can test campaigns, token distribution, and liquidity management.

2. How do I start using the Pixpel Launchpad Testnet?

Answer: Head to the Pixpel Launchpad Testnet portal, connect your wallet, and grab Native Currency (sFUEL) from the Pixpel Testnet faucet. Check out the Pixpel Testnet Getting Started Guide (link to be added and a starting guide to be created) for step-by-step setup details.

3. Who can use the testnet?

Answer: Anyone can use it: developers launching test campaigns and investors contributing test tokens to simulate real fundraising.

4. What types of campaigns can be tested?

Answer: Both native-token campaigns (like ETH → game token) and token-token campaigns (ERC-20 → game token) are supported on testnet.

II. Testnet Tokens and Fees

5. Are Testnet campaigns free to launch?

Answer: Yes, registration fees are waived or simulated with testnet tokens and USDC, so no real money is involved.

6. Can Testnet tokens be swapped or transferred?

Answer: Testnet tokens are purely for simulation. You can approve, transfer, and contribute them to campaigns, but they have no real-world value. For details on acquiring test tokens, see the Pixpel Testnet Getting Started Guide (link to be added).

7. Are there any platform fees on testnet?

Answer: Platform fees are simulated with testnet tokens, but no real money is involved.

8. Can multiple ERC-20 tokens be tested?

Answer: Yes, you can test campaigns with different testnet ERC-20 tokens to verify token approval and contribution functionality.

9. Are gas costs charged on testnet?

Answer: Testnet uses Native Currency (sFUEL), and gas is simulated, so no real funds are spent. For details on acquiring Native Currency (sFUEL), see the Pixpel Testnet Getting Started Guide (link to be added).

III. Campaign Creation on Testnet

10. How do I create a testnet campaign?

Answer: Developers submit metadata, token info, contribution limits, soft/hard caps, vesting schedules, and liquidity settings, similar to mainnet.

11. Can I test multiple campaigns at the same time?

Answer: Yes, the testnet allows multiple simultaneous campaigns for stress-testing contributions and vesting.

12. Can testnet campaigns be paused or canceled?

Answer: Yes; pausing, resuming, and canceling actions can be tested to ensure all workflow logic works correctly.

13. Are soft cap and hard cap rules enforced on testnet?

Answer: Yes; soft cap and hard cap rules are simulated. Campaigns that fail soft cap can trigger refunds for testing purposes.

IV. Participating in Testnet Campaigns

14. How do investors contribute to a testnet campaign?

Answer: Investors use Native Currency (sFUEL) or ERC-20 tokens, approving token transfers and sending contributions to test campaigns.

15. Can investors test both native and token contributions?

Answer: Yes, the platform supports both native and token contributions types on testnet.

16. How are token allocations tracked on testnet?

Answer: Contributions are logged and allocated to the vesting contract. Investors can see claimable tokens and cycle progress on their profile and in the vesting section of the launchpad module.

17. Can multiple investors contribute at the same time?

Answer: Yes, the testnet supports concurrent contributions to simulate real-world scenarios.

V. Token Vesting and Claiming

18. Can I test token vesting schedules?

Answer: Yes; all vesting logic (cliff periods, monthly cycles) works on testnet.

19. How can I claim testnet tokens?

Answer: Investors can claim testnet tokens by logging in as a player, connecting their wallet, and clicking the "View vesting" button in the launchpad module.

20. Can liquidity (LP) tokens be claimed on testnet?

Answer: Yes, liquidity (LP) tokens can be claimed on testnet.

21. Can I simulate partial claims?

Answer: No, investors can only claim tokens once vesting starts, but reward details can be verified via the vesting contract on the blockchain explorer.

VI. Fund Management and Refunds

22. What happens if a testnet campaign fails to meet its soft cap?

Answer: Tokens are returned to the developer, contributions are refunded, and the campaign status updates to "Cancelled" for testing.

23. Can I test fund withdrawal by the developer?

Answer: Yes, withdrawals are simulated and logged on-chain for verification.

24. Can administrators override withdrawals or campaign status on testnet?

Answer: Yes, all admin powers (pause, resume, cancel) are fully testable without affecting real funds.

VII. Platform Monitoring

25. Can I track testnet campaign progress?

Answer: Yes, campaign progress can be tracked on testnet.

26. Can I monitor errors or transactions failures?

Answer: Yes, the testnet logs all errors and events for troubleshooting purposes.

27. Can I test cross-chain deployment on testnet?

Answer: Yes, cross-chain deployment can be tested on testnet.

28. What if contributors fail on testnet?

Answer: Check token approvals, gas (Native Currency (sFUEL)) balance, and campaign status. Errors are logged for debugging.

29. Can I test campaign limits and contribution caps?

Answer: Yes, soft cap, hard cap, and individual contribution limits are all enforced for testing.

30. Can I reset a testnet campaign to start over?

Answer: Yes, developers can cancel a test campaign and relaunch for repeated testing.

31. Are all smart contract interactions logged?

Answer: Yes, all token transfers, claims, and LP allocations are emitted as events on the testnet for auditing.

IX. Additional Notes

32. Where can I find more information about testnet mechanics?

Answer: For formulas, calculations, and deep mechanics, refer to the full whitepaper (link to be added).

33. Where can I provide feedback from testnet experience?

Answer: Developers and investors are encouraged to report bugs and suggest improvements. Submit feedback and bug reports at (link to be added).

34. Will I get rewarded for providing feedback on the testnet?

Answer: Yes, confirmed bugs reported through the feedback process will be rewarded.
