  Test/sandbox surface for Acala EVM+. Development happens against the Mandala
  TC9 public testnet, a dockerized local development network, or a Chopsticks
  fork of mainnet. Testnet funds are dispensed by a Discord faucet. No secret
  test API keys exist — access is permissionless and transactions are signed by
  a wallet holding testnet tokens.

notes: >-
  No published test card numbers or magic test identifiers (not a payments
  API); the sandbox model is a permissionless testnet plus faucet-funded wallet.
